Eldest (Inheritance Cycle, #2)

by Christopher Paolini

[abookishblether]

A marked improvement on book one, more time and care is taken to write full scenes rather than one line summaries. The side characters are further fleshed out over the course of this book (and one in particular that I remember fondly is introduced). The plot begins to weave more complex patterns.

This is the last book I completed when I originally read the series, so it will be interesting to see how the story finishes.
