If you do the maths, that leaves only 60 pages to do the cool action of the battle and the reunion of Roran and Eragon. It literally took Eragon 300 pages to get to Ellesmera, then 300 to get his cousin Roran out of the clutches of the Ra'zaac and run away to Surda. The story had a great plot and story, but, seriously. Then he discovers the truth about a brother and a father he's never known. As the story proceeds, Eragon begins to fall in love with Arya, an elf. But there, he meets Ormoris and Gladr, and elvish rider and his dragon prepared to teach Eragon the skills he needs. When he gets there, Eragon is prepared to be teaching himself everything he needs to know, as he thinks he is the last Rider. Eragon and Saphira travel to Ellesmera to learn more about being a Dragon Rider (in case you didn't know, Ellesmera is where the elves live) and to continue their journey to eventually defeat the tyrant Galbatorix. If I say it like this, it sounds okay-ish, listen: I could get through Eragon okay, even though it was dry.
It would have been great if it was about half the length that it was. You need to start at the beginning with Eragon for things to really make sense and fit together. However, I don't recommend this book as a standalone read. I recommend this for fantasy lovers age 12 and up, though younger readers will certainly eat it up as well (I know my nephew did). I know I haven't said much about the story in this review, but I don't want to give away any of the surprises in the story and there definitely are some big ones. It's rare that a series worthy of being called an epic comes out in today's publishing market. I can hardly wait for it, and I'm sure all the other readers out there feel the same way. They are reunited at the end of the book and the set up for the next book is laid out. The villagers follow him and he comes to be known as Stronghammer. Galbatorix is now after him as a link to Eragon and Roran finds strength that he didn't know he had. I was happy to see that Paolini returns to Eragon's past as we follow his cousin Roran's story. His continuing infatuation with Arya causes some issues, as does Saphira's unexpected feelings for&hmmm, I'm not going to tell you who because it would give away a big surprise in the book. So much happens in just the first few pages that readers will almost find themselves reeling in shock unexpected deaths, battles, pronouncements&Paolini doesn't wait around.Ī great deal of the book is taken up with Eragon's trip to Ellesmera and his training with the elves. Or, at the very least, skim the last part where Eragon meets up with the Varden. But before you read it, do yourself a favor. I know you've been waiting ages and ages to get your hands on the sequel to Paolini's wildly successful book Eragon.
