I first read this in high school, but it was so long after I had read the first book that I forgot a good chunk of what had happened. I am glad that I have now read them back to back! I feel like Eldest is an improvement from Eragon. We get to learn more about elf culture, and the overall lore of the land. I still stand by my opinion that this series is mainly Star Wars, but with dragons instead of the Force.
