Eldest

Christopher Paolini did an incredible on Eldest! Once again he amazes me with his creative imagination and writing skills. I think that the best part was the end because it was such a good cliff hanger and left me completely psyched for Brisinger. I couldn’t wait and I still can't. The story goes something like this...
Ajihad dies and Eragon must leave for Du Weldenvarden to complete his training with the elves. When he gets there he meets Orimis and Glaedr, another dragon and rider. They are the ones who train him for his eventual face-off with Galbatorix. The scar that Durza gave Eragon continues to pain him, but something happens that makes the pain bearable. After scrying Arya, he learns that the Varden are preparing to battle Galbatorix's army and he must abandon his training for the time being to help them. During the battle he meets someone unexpected and, here’s the twist, Angela predicted it in Eragon.
Meanwhile Roran, Eragons cousin must fight his own battle. the Raz'ac come to take him the the king but Roran decides he doesn’t want to go so he gathers the village of Carvahall and they run to Surda, a country that opposes the Empire, and from there, hopefully the Varden.
