For those readers who liked Eragon, they will have no problem enjoying this intriguing sequel. Paolini continues the story of Eragon and his dragon Saphira, as well as the story of Eragon's cousin Roran and the people of his home village of Carvahall. There is much that I could tell of the story if it wouldn't give away the plot of the whole inheritance cycle. Let's just say that Paolini's writing gets better with each book and that the plot in this book is every bit as good as in Eragon. Make sure that you have Brisingr (the third book) on hand after having read this one, because you won't be satisfied at the end. Although, without even a title being announced for the fourth and final book, Brisingr will only prolong the excruciating and inevitable wait to know how it all ends. Overall, Eldest is a very entertaining and engaging read.
