Eldest, book 2.

by Christopher Paolini.

The cover, like the last, is a dragon but a different dragon this time, who is this dragon? The title is well thought of and it makes more sense on completion of the book. Eragon and Saphira, after the battle in the first book Eragon, have to go to the elves to complete their training of the true ways of the Dragon Riders. The Varden are becoming a threat to the king. The king is massing forces from most of the races in the kingdom. There is another important battle which has Eragon asking critical questions. As good as book as the last, it had me hocked from the first to the last page and itching to get my hands onto the next book. Star rating 5 out of 5
