Eldest

I am reading Eldest, the second book in the Inheritance series. This book has been very interesting, some parts I really love, and can't wait to keep reading, and other parts, I am not that interested in.

I love the parts of the book about Eragon, when he's in training, learning new things, it's very interesting, though some of the decisions he makes seem unwise to me, and I don't like reading them because I know he's making the wrong decision. One time he really liked this elf, her name is Ayra,(AR-ee-uh) and she is the Queen's daughter, and she came to see how his training was going. Eragon was learning how to make a picture on a slab of stone with magic, and because of his feelings toward Arya, he made the picture of Arya. When he uttered the spell to take the picture of her from his mind, the picture on the slab was a beautiful view of Arya in a blazing back round that made her pop out and look very special. Now when I read this, I was loosing it! Why would he do that? Why would he show his feeling towards her, I mean by what the author says when they're talking, Arya definitely does not have the same feelings for Eragon! Besides, Arya is very sensitive, and when she saw his vision of her, she threw a fit. She took the stone, and smashed it on the ground, then ran away from Eragon and avoided him for a while. Eragon was silly to show his emotions like that, and it was hard for me to read that, and believe it.

Other parts of this book are about Roran, and his adventures. Roran is Eragon's cousin, and he lives in Eragon's old town. The town suddenly gets in a horrible fight with some soldiers from the king, that are looking to capture Roran because Eragon is a Dragon Rider. Roran and most of the town are tired of fighting off the soldiers, and loosing so many loved ones, that they leave their town and start heading towards the Varden who can hopefully help them and protect them from the King. The Varden are a group of people, dwarves, and elves who hate the King and his men, and fight him, and protect each other. If Roran and his friends make it to the Varden, and are excepted, they will be protected from the empire. Along the way, they have some trouble, and decide to take a boat down the coast to get away from the mountains and rough land. They manage to get a ship worker to take them, but the man thinks they're transporting livestock down the coast, so when he leaves the town and goes a little down the coast and finds a little village that he is to transport, he is quite shocked. I had a difficult time reading this part too, because they lied to the man, and now they could get this innocent guy in trouble, because the soldiers are after them. I had an even harder time reading about how the village was planning to ditch the poor guy, and after the ship ride just run away without paying the full price! That is not fair and I was not pleased to see that the settlers were in such a panic they didn't care if they were cheating this guy.

This book is great, I am really liking it! But, there are some places that I find hard to read because I wouldn't make that decision and I don't think it's right. This is a fantastic read though!

Eldest

All books are considered good by one person or another, but this book is a favorite of mine and many others. This book I’m going to tell you about is a very good book and is one that, even though it’s a long read is still very interesting the only problem is that it’s one of those books that you look at it and immediately reject it for being so thick. This book is Eldest it’s about a boy and a dragon, it’s a wonderful book and is a mix of all genres. I won’t give any more to what the book is about because that would give the book away this is a good book and I recommend it to any searching for a book. I think that it’s the best book ever, well second to harry potter that is. This book really is a good book, but I think that the real reason I liked is because the dragon I really want to see and feel a dragon as well as experience magic, I guess that’s why I like to read so much. There are other things that I make connections with, though not many, because this is a book of fantasy and not fiction. But one connection I did make is that both this book and dragon rider have a dragon, a cat, a rider, and the dragons are both blue.

Eldest

Right now I am reading Eldest, the second the Inheritance series. Also better known as the book after Eragon. I think Eldest is a great book because, in it there is magic, sword play, fantastic creatures, and great detail. The main three characters are, Eragon, Saphira, and Eragon's brother Roran. The book also includes as I said earlier fantastic creatures such as Elves Dwarfs dragons and many other mystic species. 


Long ago there were people called Dragon Riders, people or Elves who learned to use magic and befriended a dragon and together they helped sustain the peace. But a young Rider named Galbatorix lost his Dragon in battle and when the council of the Riders denied him another dragon, he stole a dragon egg and befriended another even younger Rider and together they killed all the other Riders and from that day forward Galbatorix and his evil shades have ruled Alegasia with there iron fists and it is Eragon's duty to defeat Galbatorix and save Alegasia!
