I finished these two books a few months ago. I thought they were very well written, interesting and had great characters. Eragon was far far better than the movie, which I saw before reading the book. The only thing I didn’t like about the overall story but mostly in Eldest was that any problem thrown Eragon’s way was somehow magically solved instantly. The grit and determination of his training is glossed over for the most part, leaving it to the imagination but left me feeling that Eragon got off easy. Anyway, they were great reading materials for the sauna and airport.
