Darkness falls. . . . Swords clash. . . . Evil reigns.

Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesméra, land of the elves, for further training in magic and swordsmanship, the vital skills of the Dragon Rider. It is the journey of a lifetime, filled with awe-inspiring new places and people, each day a fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and Eragon isn’t sure whom he can trust.

Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle back home in Carvahall–one that puts Eragon in even graver danger.

Will the king's dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life. . . .

  • I liked this one even better than the first in the series. Paolini makes it pretty easy to forget you're reading a Young Adult novel most of the time. Can't wait to begin the last book.

    When I finished Eragon I moved right on to Eldest and it was the same, I could not put it down. You find as you read not only is Eragon's life followed but also people close to him and you end up getting wrapped up in their stories as much as you do his own. Oh and the pronunciation/translation guide in the back of the book is very handy…I had to flip back to it a few times because I just HAD to know what something meant. :P

    If you like fantasy/sci-fi type books this will probably be right up your alley.

  • Not as good as the first one, some part of it was so boring I skipped through it. The end was quite exciting though.

  • Not as good as Eragon

    Seemed like it was a transitional book rather than something that could stand alone.
