“I personally think Eragon was way better than Eldest. I enjoyed Eldest, tho, practically because I'm not a THAT good of a writer myself, but somehow the dialogues weren't much engaging as how I found those in the first book were. Unrealistic, that's how they felt, to me. It felt like it was being written by a person different than the Paolini who wrote Eragon, the innocence was no longer there. But the story was enjoyable, anyway. There were parts that bored me, not much humor to laugh at and Roran was too Katrina-sick I couldn't really like him. But I like the Glaedr-and-Saphira moments in the book. And Saphira is basically the only character that kept me sticking to the story. I'd recommend this title to any fantasy-loving readers who wouldn't mind amateur storytelling anytime. ”
