Eldest

Rating: 3.5 stars
Rounded down to 3

Eldest is a great continuation of the story that began in Eragon. However, it is slow and can become monotonous as Eragon's training and learning take priority of this narrative. The story deepens the lore and expands the knowledge of the dragons from the perspective of the elves. Is this book groundbreaking? No, but it is enjoyable and sets up many of the important information for the next books.
