"This whole world he describes so well. I'm right beside the as they travel across Alagaesia. I'm in love with the characters this story just unlike anything in the world. I have read these over and over. Every book an adventure and rooting for the home team. You seem to grow up with Eragon and Saphira. Learning with them traveling with them these are the best types of stories. You are pulled out of you world into theirs and there are no regrets."

"Dropped the book. I seriously can't keep on reading it, which is pretty sad considering how much I liked the first one. But this one has just so much information I cannot seem to care about, like the cousin's journey, I mean, yeah, that's important and all because *story plots* but I wouldn't have taken more than a chapter to explain what happened to him and his town and Elvenville is just so boring, there doesn't seem to be anything interesting going on despite Eragon finding this elven enemies-to-friends trope that just came out of nowhere... All in all at this point it seems more like a drag so I give up :("
