Background
Published in 2005, “Eldest” is the 2nd novel in the inheritance cycle by Christopher Paolini. In this book, Eragon visits the elves and learns the nature of magic. He becomes part of the dwarven family of Hothgar and meets another rider…
My Thoughts
I did enjoy the book but so many things happen so fast it taxes my already suspended reality. The character of Eragon is likable and wants to do the best he can. However, he blunders through just about everything. Still, I’m excited to start the next book.
