Book Review of Eldest (Inheritance, Bk 2)

Eldest (Inheritance, Bk 2)

Fantastic sequel to Eragon and both are infinitely preferable to the movie. Very well-written for a teen author and certainly a different take on elves, dwarves and dragons. This was to be #2 of a trilogy, but the 3rd volume became too unwieldy, so the author is now calling it a cycle; volume 3 (Brisinger) will appear in print September 2008 and I can hardly wait.

Although marketed to young adult readers, this fantasy world keeps me engrossed and reading long after bedtime (and I am over 50). Highly recommended also for the morality inherent throughout--no character is unflawed and no decision faced is black versus white or good versus evil.
