humans. The races of beings got along well until Galbatorix became an evil tyrant in the land of Alagaesia creating an evil empire. Similar to the Hobbit there are special languages, varied geography, mysteries to unfold and
people with unusual powers. This volume continues with the saga of adventure and surprises as Eragon, healed from a grievous wound by the spectral dragon of mysterious origin in an elven ceremony, embarks on a campaign to recover lands taken in the war with the empire. Arya is his faithful friend and warrior partner in many battles. Eragon and Saphira, his dragon, continue to have their relationship grow. As the story progresses new discoveries lead them to the ancient home of the dragons on Vroengard Island to the city of Doru Araeba.
They discover a city under many spells that lay in ruins but they also discover something incredible. In the end as Eragon moves into his destiny the ending leaves something to be desired with some loose ends still not resolved in the major characters. What will happen to Arya in the future and will her friendship with Eragon deepen? What will happen to the dragon eggs? What will happen to Eragon as he and selected elves help create a new dragon home and training for found dragons? Will there be a book 5 down the road although the author is not planning for one right now? This is a great adventure fantasy for middle school students and up.
