Eldest by Christopher Paolini

 Eragon and Saphira's journey continues as they travel to Ellesmera to continue Eragon's training. Meanwhile, Eragon's home village is being destroyed and it's up to Roran to lead them to safety.  But really, why were those chapters even included? Roran didn't do anything to move the story along.

My only criticism for the characters (which is more the narrator's fault than Paolini's) was the way  Saphira's voice sounded on the audio-book. I don't know why but I just didn't like the voice, and I don't think it was very fitting for the character. As a dragon, it makes sense that her voice was gruff but I t...
