Product Description
Eragon y su dragona, Saphira, acaban de impedir que las poderosas fuerzas del rey Galbatorix, cruel regente del Imperio, destruyan para siempre al ejército rebelde de los vardenos en Farthen Dur, la ciudad de la montaña de los enanos. Pocos días después de la sangrienta batalla contra los urgalos, Eragon y Aspira tienen que viajar a Elleméra, el país de los elfos para continuar con su formación en la magia y en la lucha con la espada, las dos habilidades esenciales de los Jinetes del Dragón, para poder enfrentarse al malvado Rey. Los acompañará Arya, la elfa, y Orik, el enano, en un viaje plagado de descubrimientos y aventuras , con parajes fabulosos y nuevas amistades. Pero el caos y la traición los acecharán sin descanso, y Eragon no sabrá en quien confiar. Entre tanto, los sones inconfundibles de la guerra tienen en vilo el reino de Alagaesia. Las espadas se afilan y las nubes de oscuridad presagian terror y muerte. A Carcahall, cerca de las montañas Vertebradas, también llega el miedo: dos Ra’zac han aparecido acompañados de un destacamento para capturar a Roran, el primo de Eragon. Roran tendrá que huir, pero pronto se dará cuanta de que no es posible escapar siempre. Además, el deseo de vengar la muerte de su padre a manos de los Ra’zac lo llevará a tomar una decisión sin posibilidad de marcha atrás. ¿Podrá la sombra oscura y poderosa del rey aplastar a la resistencia? Eragon no puede huir para siempre…

2.0 out of 5 stars Eldest, May 10, 2006

By	Johann "Ji0n" (USA) - See all my reviews

In contrast with Paolini's first book, Eragon, Eldest is in the mediocre category. I found Roran's part very boring, and I skipped most of them. Roran's part had no connection to the plot of this book. It was just there to mislead the reader to believe that he would eventually betray Eragon. That USUALLY clever Modus Operandi in the book was quite obvious in the beginning. If you want suspense, try reading the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie. She meticulously gives all the clues, yet never lets the reader know who did the crime.

Paolini lost his spark, and took a spin toward the more monotonous side of writing. He also added some green-minded passages in the book. "This is an easy way to lose your manhood," is one of them. If that were meant to be funny, he could at least have written that in a more subtle way. The romance between Eragon and Arya was overrrated, and quite childish. "Why are you so cruel?" is a statement showing the lack of experience of Eragon. He had the opportunity to make a famous quote, but he blew it. There are many other bad things to mention, but I'm in school right now. I might add another review later.

In conclusion, Eldest was disappointing. The emotions were all mixed up, and the mood was ridiculous. The only parts enjoyable enough to mention were the parts of Solembum, Angela, and the usage of magic. The battle could have been put in better, though. Paolini could do MUCH better than that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars vs D&D Part 2, October 6, 2006

By	Aaron Spriggs "Aaronious" (Ft. Collins, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Eldest (Inhertitance) (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

I would first like to state, as others have, that it is an impressive accomplishment for someone so young to write a book, let alone a book so large. With that said, I'm surprised he hasn't been sued by G. Lucas for copy write infringement.

When reading this book, put on the soundtrack to Star Wars. Why?
As the story continues, we learn the evil nemesis of our hero is also his father! No surprise really, especially since this story is such a Star Wars rip off. Also, the first 400 pages of this book are a waste of time with a side story of our hero's half brother becoming a man on his own.

After reading these two cheap Dungeon & Dragon like stories, I doubt I'll waste my time and money on the third.

Aaron.

This review is from: Eldest (Inhertitance) (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

To all the bad thinkers of the book:

People!!! Geez Its just a book!!! A Fantasy!!!!!
Its made up!!!! So what if it is sort of copied!,Its not like I see you writing a book a doing any better. Get over it! The book is there and there is nothing you can do to stop it! All you are doing is saying the bad things, what about the good or in you words,NON COPIED?! I really enjoyed this book, and for all the awful things I read you won't convince me to dis like it. Because of all the bad comments about it, it just made me buy the book not vise/versa! Well.... Thanks.
