The second book in the Eragon series does not disappoint. Eragon faces the task of becoming a true rider who will be able to face Galbotorix and hopefully save his world from ruin. He must travel across the realm, train hard, and face the scars left behind by his defeat of Durza. He encounters unexpected allies who offer truth regarding the rider legacy that will impact his destiny. He faces many of his past mistakes, and Angela's prediction of betrayal comes true. He will grow and face challenges that will test him in every way as he prepares to go to war. This book delivers on plot, character development, conflict, intrigue, and twists. I'm excited to jump into the next book.
