No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) qparkes | Jan 9, 2025 |  Here is what I will say however. (Spoilers ahead) - the story felt less childishly written and more sophisticated, which is nice. and I don’t thINK it’s just a placebo from me not knowing how young Christopher was anymore (  ) epicaleb7 | Oct 4, 2024 |  ) puppyboykippo | Jul 25, 2024 | Colidem as espadas... Reina o mal. Eragon e seu dragão, Saphira, acabaram de salvar um estado rebelde da destruição planejada pelas forças poderosas do rei Galbatorix, cruel governante do Império. Eragon rumará agora para Ellesméra, terra dos elfos, para aprimorar seu treinamento em magia e nas artes da espada, habilidades vitais para um Cavaleiro de Dragão. É a jornada de uma vida, cheia de lugares e pessoas diferentes, dignas de admiração e reverência, em cada dia uma nova aventura. Mas o caos e a traição o importunam a cada instante e Eragon não sabe em quem deve confiar. Enquanto isso, seu primo Roran se envolve numa nova batalha em Carvahall - vilarejo onde nasceu e cresceu -, batalha que coloca Eragon num perigo ainda maior. Será que a mão negra do rei sufocará toda e qualquer resistência? Eragon pode até não escapar com vida... Emoção e aventura aguardam os leitores no segundo volume do Ciclo A Herança. saladeleituraberna_ | Jul 5, 2024 | The book starts off well, but drags on boringly in the middle. It gets so boring that at one point that I even considered not reading it all. However, my persistence paid off as the book ends well. the last 20% of the book is exciting, specially when Eragon decides to return to Surda. The Roran chapters are well written and helped keep me reading in the middle of the book. Hope the next installment is better written than this. (  ) ktn_vrce | Jul 5, 2024 |
 Nothing wrong with a good thick serving of swords 'n' sorcery, but it needs a hero. In the hands of a writer like George R.R. Martin, Lois McMaster Bujold, Barbara Hambly, or J. K. Rowling, the central characters of fantasy are persons worth knowing: smart, flawed, moral, doomed to love the world more than the world loves back. It's fun that they're kings and queens and wizards, but we read the books because Miles Vorkosigan or Harry Potter are in them, the kind of people we'd like to know and be. Unfortunately, Eragon just doesn't measure up to the standard; he's a Frankenstein video-game hero, clanking with magic armor, charms, and weapons, but long on seams and short that essential spark of life.  It's clear that Paolini has drive and talent, and "Eldest" is, for the most part, competently constructed and written. The problem, however, is that anyone committed to reading a 2,000-page epic deserves more than competence and tropes that have been used countless times before. Is contained inAwardsDistinctions
After successfully evading an Urgals ambush, Eragon is adopted into the Ingeitum clan and sent to finish his training so he can further help the Varden in their struggle against the Empire. No library descriptions found.
