Eldest is the sequel to Eragon; it follows on the story of Eragon. He has already begun his journey to overthrow the Empire. Eragon began as a poor farm boy forced to hunt for his food, but once he finds a dragon egg he becomes a Legend. This story follows Eragon as he is trained by the elves in 'Elesméra'. Meanwhile, back in 'Carvahall' (Eragon's home), his cousin Roran embarks upon his own journey with the people of Carvahall. They're under attack from the Empire and they must escape. This story follows both Roran and Eragon as they both follow their separate paths.

Eldest is excellent. I got this book almost immediately after reading Eragon, and I'm very glad I did. Christopher Paolini tries a new technique in this story as he writes about two different people and their two different paths. Paolini has written the sequel to 'Eldest' already, it is called 'Brisingr', he is still writing the forth and last.

If you enjoyed Eragon, you'll enjoy this book, following the two characters creates even more suspense as you hope that both characters will be safe in the end.

Summary: Excellent, fun, if you enjoyed Eragon you'll enjoy Eldest
