Hi everyone, I just finished reading Eldest the third book of Eragon. The story starts out with
Eragon and Saphira three days after the war they just had with the Urgals.People now call him Shadeslayer, Eragon Shadeslayer. Ajihad, Murtagh and the Twins went underground searching
for the Urgals that ran away. Meanwhile Eragon and Saphira get summoned by Jormundor to
come meet Ajihad, Murtagh and the Twins when they come back. Eragon and Saphira see Ajihad,Murtagh and the Twins come out of the tunnel when they see Urgals come out behind them. Eragon and Saphira fly there but are to late they find Ajihad near death. Healing Ajihad's wounds was beyond both Eragon and Arya's possibility. After Ajihad's last breath Saphira pointed out that both Murtagh's and the the Twins' bodies where no where to be seen. They looked down the tunnel and found pieces of Murtagh's and the Twins' tunics and a trail of blood. Arya ran to look for them but to no prevail she came back emptyhanded. Later that night Eragon scryed Murtagh but only found darkness. The next morning Eragon went to the Council of Elders who to be Ajihad's successor the council chose Nuasuada. That following evening Eragon and Saphira attended Ajihad's funeral.Then after that they attended the ceremony where Nausuada would be chosen as leader of the Varden. Nausuada's first order was for Eragon to accompany Arya to Ellesmerra along with the dwarf Orik, she also announced that she was going to have the Varden travel to Surda because they where low on supplies. Before they departed for Ellesmera Hrothgar adopts Eragon into Durgrimst Ingetium. Then they depart. Meanwhile in Carvahall Roran is back from Therinsford now living in Horst's house. A few weeks later there are Galbatorix's soldiers along with the Ra'zac have camped in Carvahall searching for Roran. Roran hides in the Spine while he waits for the Ra'zac to go away. But unfortunatley they wont leave until they get Roran. While the soldiers and the Ra'zac are in town they manage to burn down houses and the Ra'zac ate Quimby one of the villagers. After that the villagers get Roran and decide to fight the soldiers so they will leave. After a short battle since the villagers out numbered them the soldiers and the Ra'zac. After that Roran asks Katrina to marry him. The Raz'zac come in the middle of the night to try and take Roran but take Katrina instead. While trying to save Katrina one of the Ra'zac bite Roran on the shoulder leaving him with most of themuscle missing. Despite his wound Roran, Horst and some of the other villagers try and rescue Ktrina, but the Ra'zac fly away on a dragon-like creature called a Lethrblaka. A couple days later Roran persuades the villagers to travel to Surda to save the villagers. Eragon
gets to Ellesmera and meets Togira Ikonoka who is also another Dragon Rider. Oromis teaches
Eragon the ways of the Rider teaching him how to care for Saphira about magic, how to read the
ancient language, and about swordplay.Oromis' dragon Gleadr teaches Saphira how to fly on
wind drafts how to breath fire longer and about wild dragons. Roran and the villagers make it to
Teirm and look for a ship to sail to Surda, then they find Joed. Joed tells Roran that Eragon and
Brom passed through there and told Roran that Eragon is a Rider and everything that happened
before and after Ra'zac killed Garrow. Joed decides to help Roran and the villagers and get them
to Surda. Later that night they steal a boat called the Dragon Wing. After stealing the boat they took on the long journey towards Surda.Eragon learn all they can in Ellesmera. While in Ellesmera, they got to participate in the elfs Blood Oath Celebration and a mysterious object changed Eragon, by making him stronger, taking the scar on his back from Durza off, taking each
and every scar he ever had off, and by making him look like and be as strong and as fast an Elf.
A couple days after that they head off towards Surda where the Varden are getting ready to
battle Galbatorix's army on the Burning Plains. Meanwhile, Roran and the villagers are sailing
towards the Jiet River to Surda. Eragon and Saphira get to the Burning Plains and get ready for war. During the battle that rages Eragon and Saphira are sent to attack a boat sailing on the
Jiet River. Eragon and Saphira get there and find Roran and the villagers. Roran decides they should fight with the Varden. Eragon and Saphira go back to the war that rages around them
but they see a red dragon with its Rider. Eragon and Saphira fought the Rider and Dragon.
Then when Eragon pulls off the Rider's helmet he finds the Rider to be .... Murtagh. Murtagh
explains to Eragon how he got taken and how Thorn his dragon hatched for him. Murtagh also
explained how Morzan was both Eragon and Murtagh's father. Then while Eragon and Saphira
where confined by magic Murtagh took Zar'roc and flew off. The Varden won the battle. Then
Eragon meets up with Roran and the villagers and Roran explaines to him what has happened
since Garrow's death and how he needed Eragon's help to rescue Katrina.


Again,Sorry for making it so long as I said before almost every detail counts. You're going to have to read the books to know what I'm talking about. I like these books because you never know whats going to happen next. It's one of those books you never want to put down. The
