Ze všech dílů mám asi nejradši právě Eldesta. Nevím proč. Kvůli spoustě akci? Murtaghovi? Elfům?
Sérii prostě miluju, a to se nezmění.

Could not wait to read the next book and see what fate had in store for Eargon on his journey. Again the details were like you were there every step of the way. A great series for those who love dragons and riders. And the working of how a world like this could exist

I almost never stop reading a book I have started. I really liked Eragon. Yes, I know the plot was formulaic, but I like the formula and am generally easy to please, so I loved it anyway. Unfortunately, Eldest is painfully boring. I don't really care about the characters, even when I manage to keep track of who is who, and there was a serious problem with pacing. Brief periods of action are preceded and followed by long, overly descriptive sections of nothing. Reading it felt like a waste of my time, so I eventually quit. Such a shame.
