About This Book
Surpassing its popular prequel Eragon, this second volume in the
Inheritance trilogy shows growing maturity and skill on the part of its
very young author, who was only seventeen when the first volume was
published in 2003. The story is solidly in the tradition (some might say
derivative) of the classic heroic quest fantasy, with the predictable
cast of dwarves, elves, and dragons--but also including some
imaginatively creepy creatures of evil.
The land of Alagaesia is suffering under the Empire of the wicked
Galbatorix, and Eragon and his dragon Saphira, last of the Riders, are
the only hope. But Eragon is young and has much to learn, and so he is
sent off to the elven forest city of Ellesmera, where he and Saphira are
tutored in magic, battle skills, and the ancient language by the wise
former Rider Oromis and his elderly dragon Glaedr. Meanwhile, back at
Carvahall, Eragon's home, his cousin Roran is the target of a siege by
the hideous Ra'zac, and he must lead the villagers on a desperate escape
over the mountains. The two narratives move toward a massive battle with
the forces of Galbatorix, where Eragon learns a shocking secret about
his parentage and commits himself to saving his people.
The sheer size of the novel, as well as its many characters, places with
difficult names, and its use of imaginary languages make this a
challenging read, even for experienced fantasy readers. It is essential
to have the plot threads of the first volume well in mind before
beginning--the publisher has provided not only a map, but a helpful
synopsis of the first book and a much-needed Language Guide. But no
obstacles will deter the many fans of Eragon from diving headfirst into
this highly-awaited fantasy. --Patty Campbell
