I first read this in high school, but it was so long after I had read the first book that I forgot a good chunk of what had happened. I am glad that I have now read them back to back! I feel like Eldest is an improvement from Eragon. We get to learn more about elf culture, and the overall lore of the land. I still stand by my opinion that this series is mainly Star Wars, but with dragons instead of the Force.
Graphic: Ableism, Animal death, Death, Gore, Violence, and Blood
Moderate: Body horror, Medical content, Kidnapping, and Death of parent
Minor: Slavery, Suicide, and Vomit

Eragon really is so annoying. I’m mostly drawn to Roran’s story in this one, though learning more about magic and other customs is interesting (even if it’s not very action packed)
Graphic: Chronic illness, Gore, Blood, Vomit, Grief, War, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Bullying, Death, Misogyny, Sexism, and Death of parent
