A review by juniorpalo
Eldest by Christopher Paolini

5.0

The coolest thing you can do is introduce a pretty dip magic system that actually has rules and makes sense and then follow that by introducing a second main character who is just a normal guy and have that part of the story be more interesting and compelling while your actual main character goes on a full blown training arc with DRAGONS AND ELVES.

Throughly enjoyed this one a lot more on this reread as it was cool seeing that Paolini was actually setting up concepts that we wouldn’t see play out until the next two books.
