Eldest

Eldest
by Nathan

The book I read was Eldest by Christopher Paolini. All four books in the series have come out. There is no known movie date for Eldest.

The main characters are Eragon,  King Galbatorix, Rohan, Horst, Nasuada, Queen Islanzadi, Hrothgar, Angela, a herbalist, Oromis, Arya an elf, Saphira, and Orik. (spoiler alert) The plot is that the leader of the varden dies and Nasuada Is elected the leader. Eragon is forced to continue his training in Ellesmera with another dragon rider. While Eragon is in Ellesmera, He was taught by Oromis and his dragon Glaedr about being a rider. Meanwhile, Rohan is struggling with some Ra’zac and gets all of his town to follow him to join the Varden where they have some epic battle scenes along the way. If you want to know the rest you should read the book.

In this action/adventure there is violence, evil, dragons. Elves, Dwarfs, battle, and magic. This book has action because there is a lot of battles but most of them are short. There is adventure because Eragon rides his dragon a lot and travels all over the place and gets to have the adventure of an extended lifetime. Anyone who rides a dragon gets a longer life.

The dialect in this book is not old fashioned nor futuristic, but the dialect is the same dialect as you and I speak. The vocabulary has very bizarre names because who names someone Galbatorix? How about Durza, Solembum, Arya, or even Brom. There is also the made up Ancient Language for the elves and the Dwarf language for the Dwarfs.

There are flashbacks and plot twists in this book. An example,of a flashback was when Eragon is fighting in Ellesmera, he keeps having flashbacks to the Battle in Tronjheim. An example of a plot twist was when Murtagh turned out to be a rider and attacked Eragon.

I would really recommend this book to you if you like action, magic and adventure. The plot twists were spaced evenly throughout the book which made the book more interesting because it kept me wanting to read more. Eldest had plenty of magic spells to keep the book intriguing.  Also It was cool because in order to summon magic they had to speak this ancient language.
