Eldest by Christopher Paolini was fantastic! It is the second book in the Inheritance Cycle Series. The first is Eragon and the third is Brisingr. It is about a boy named Eragon. He has a dragon named Saphira and he is trying to travel to the magical place of Elves called Ellesmera. He needs to go there to have Dragon Rider training. In Dragon Riding, he needs to learn magic and the skill with swords. The Cripple Who Is Whole gave him the suggestion to go to Ellesmera. But, when the leader dies, Eragon’s good friend Murtagh and a two sorcerers named the Twins disappear. The leader chooses his daughter to become the new leader. During this whole time, they are inside Ellesmera. The king of Ellesmera asks to adopt Saphira and Eragon in his family.
At the exact same time, Roran, Eragon’s cousin, goes back to Carvahall, his home. He is trying to marry a lady named Katrina. But, someone is looking for Roran. Trying to capture and kill him.
Eragon and Saphira travel with some elves to The Cripple Who is Whole. By the way, he is a legendary Dragon Rider who gives young Dragon Riders like Eragon advice. The Cripple Who is Whole trains Eragon to become a perfect dragon Rider to fight against their enemy from before. But, who is it? Will they die trying? Or will they succeed? Eldest is a great fantasy! It is worth 36 points.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!! IT ROX!!!!!
This is a really good series! I like the part where The
Cripple Who is Whole trains him. The sad part was the one that this post talked about. I felt very sorry for the leader and Eragon because the leader was his friend. Eragon’s close friend also dissapeared. Although all these sad things happen, Eragon finds success in the end. I also like the big battle towards the end of the book. Overall, Eldest and the rest of the series is great!
