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

Review: I'm sorry I read this book almost two weeks ago and I am just getting around to writing a review for it, so sorry if it is really short and I'm not describing things the best.

This book was incredible. It was a very good sequel to Eragon. I was not expecting that ending at all. I mean what a huge surprise.

This book had some slow parts but it also had some really actiony parts. There aren't a ton of new characters but there is a lot happening. I really enjoyed finding out what was happening to Roran.

I really enjoyed it. Eldest, well I guess the inheritance Cycle in general is a really good fantasy series. After not reading that much fantasy it is nice to read something different but something I also liked. It had twists and turns and is amazing, just be braced for a longer read.

Sorry the review is so short.
