A review by ginaparrish
Eldest by Christopher Paolini
4.0
The second of the Inheritance Cycle is much better written than the first one, though at times feels like an SAT vocabulary study book.
Unfortunately, in his attempt to come off as a more mature writer in his second novel, Paolini overcompensates with a ton of big, and often unnecessary, words. It was a good refresher in my vocabulary but didn’t flow so well.
Other than that, the story is even more engaging than the first, and it starts to become truly addicting.
