The further adventures of Eragon and his dragon Saphira as they continue to aid the Varden in the struggle against the evil king, Galbatorix.
ah good book but eragon is still best
I was a really big fan of Eragon when it first came out and I can still (sort of) enjoy it. Although the last time I read it, I ended up writing all over it little editorial comments. I did and do like the fantasy world that Paolini introduces. Granted it's a fairly generic world, but it's presented consistently and vividly and that's one of my favorite things (besides dragons!).

I believe that there is nothing really wrong with this book, and it successfully carries on the plot of the Inheritance cycle. As far as fantasy goes, it is a good read, and the language is not difficult to follow. If you don't mind the main character and you are a fan of dragons, you'll love it.
