Paolini, Christopher._Eldest_Knopf, 2005 [0-375-82670-x]
In book two of this series Eragon, the young rider and his
dragon go north for training. Meanwhile his cousin, still
in their hometown tries to defend the village against the
Empire and the dreaded Ra'zac. They end up leaving the
village heading south we the entire village along with
Eragon, his dragon Saphria, the dwarfs and other characters
try to fight off the terrible King Galbatorix. Will the
king be able to stop the resistance? Will Eragon and
Saphira escape? This is a VERY meaty fantasy..680 pages of
difficult reading. I had to stop and look up words in the
dictionary. For your high level readers who like high
fantasy, this trilogy is for them! Thank God it has a
defined number of books. I hate endless series. (After
another series of big books.. kids will pick up thick books
now.) By the way.. a movie is under production as we speak.
I always like to see how dragons are visualized in book
illustrations and movies.
