Quá nhiều thứ dồn dập lên đầu một "cậu bé", một chàng trai trẻ, cộng thêm trách nhiệm nặng nề gánh vác trên đôi vai nhưng do truyện thuộc kiểu tươi sáng, tích cực và phù hợp với "nhiều" lứa tuổi nên mọi thứ gần như đơn giản hơn nhiều. Do đó còn đâu đó sự ngây ngô, sự tò mò hiếu kì và niềm vui với mấy điều vụn vặt mà theo mình là không cần thiết.

Nếu là mình hồi cấp 2, 3 gì đó, lúc lần đầu đọc qua series này thì đúng thật là rất thích thú tại nó không mang hơi hướm gì u tối và rất dễ nhai, tình tiết cũng nhanh và chuyển biến liên tục nữa nên không nhàm. Còn giờ thì khá khó nói, nếu mình vẫn mở lòng ra đọc một cách thoải mái và chấp nhận (hay gọi là cam chịu đi cho nó bần bần tí) thì đúng, vẫn còn thú vị và hào hứng lắm. Nhưng đâu đó mình vẫn thích chút gì đó Dark Fantasy hơn vầy. Tuy nhiên diễn biến còn dài, này mới tập 1 phần 2 thôi mà, còn nhiều thứ đáng để mong chờ lắm. Để rồi xem...

Jeg elskede bog 1 i serien, men 2. bind lever slet ikke op til forventningerne og jeg DNF'er derfor serien her efter 1. del af bind 2.

Eragon er i bogen 16 år, men opfører sig og reflekterer over ALT som en mand på 50. Sahhira er hovmodig og arrogant.

Men værst af alt er det dog at ALT bliver overforklaret, alle sætninger, alle tanker og alle gerninger bliver overanalyseret så jeg som læser intet rum har tilbage til at bruge min fantasi eller egen dømmekraft.

خیلی خوب بود! خیلی!
فقط انگار هیچوقت بعد از ترجمه بازبینی نشده بود( ولی اراگون شده بود انگار!) و پر از گیر ویرایشی بود که ناراحت می‌کرد!
باقی‌ ش رو انگلیسی می‌خونم (:

3/5 Estrellas.

Me gustó mucho más que el primer libro (Eragon), pero de todas formas no cumplió con mis expectativas. Para mi es un libro MEH.

Escucharlo en un audiolibro me ayudo mucho para poder avanzar con la historia y no aburrirme tanto y es que mi mayor problema no es con la trama sino con los personajes.

No he logrado conectar con ningún personaje, ni me interesan mucho y son completamente planos, menos Eragon que es el más complejo de todos porque la historia es casi en su totalidad desde su punto de vista, y aun así no siento que sea un personaje tridimensional.

Eragon and Saphira continuing to grow their bond and become bad asses is so freaking cool and getting to hear from Roran’s perspective this book added another layer to the story. My heart breaks for Eragon and Saphira’s juvenile pinning because honestly, how brooding and angsty teen of them. Despite their immaturity in love they learn so much about themselves, each other and the world through this book.

Eldest was a great friend edition to the series. It was a little long, which made the exposition of the book feel a little slow at times. With that, it was cool being able see the adventure that both Eragon and Roran are going. It kept me and engaged and made the final reunion of the two brothers. It made the reunion all the more rewarding after see what each of them went through. Overall, I enjoyed the book and I’m excited to continue the series with Brisinger.

I would have given it maybe 2 more stars, if he had not argued the existence of Creator.

“in the millennia we elves have studied nature, we have never witnessed an instance where the rules that govern the world have been broken. That is, we have never seen a miracle.”.. how blind!
the very sentence contradicts itself! How would a world made by pure chance work perfectly fine over the course of time without any chaos whatsoever!

“Many events have defied our ability to explain, but we are convinced that we failed because we are still woefully ignorant about the universe and not because a deity altered the workings of nature.” .. how arrogant!
Stating that even if he saw a miracle he will deny it because he is ignorant! Why not accept it because he is ignorant?

“Death, sickness, poverty, tyranny, and countless other miseries stalk the land.”
Because it’s worldly life not Heaven!

Para mi destaca una lectura amena, entretenida y humildemente enlazada con el anterior libro (Eragon). Descripciones llenas de encanto y personajes ricos en matices que te hacen empatizar con ellos. Me llevo muchos aprendizajes de este libro que se pueden generalizar a nuestro día a día.

It is the second book in the seiries where Eragon goes to Elesmira the place where the elfs live but it also messes with religion a bit and has more romance

وقتی خوندمش 14 سالم بود و خیلی دوستش داشتم، چون هنوز اونقدر با دنیای فانتزی آشنا نبودم که بفهمم بیشتر عناصر داستان کپی‌شده از ارباب حلقه‌هاست.

This book took too long to get through. 🙃 Might I read the next one? Maybe. But it might not be for the next couple months....or years.

Es un libro bastante largo, entretenido, con varias sorpresas al final, con elementos épicos, recomendado, aunque por momentos sea lento.

the author describes in detail a state of hallucination. Maturity. Sensitivity . One of those books that keeps the characters alive in your head.

This book started at an amazing pace but halfway through it everything changed and made me feel at some points to skip some pages so I can get to the point, that is why I only give it 3.4 stars . Also the ending made me put the continuing of this series on a pause.

Eragon journey in this book is amazing , from his training with the elves and the transformations from his look to the strength and to Rohn finally learning the truth about what had happen. We find out more about the Galbatorix and the death of certain characters. Also we going to find out that some characters are not actually dead and we finally found out everything about Eragons life and parents who they are and what was their mark on the Dragons life. In this book there are lots of decisions that have no turning point for lots of the characters, especial Eragon.

This was a very fun book, i liked how the plot developed and the characters changed throughout he book. this is a good book if you like fantasy and things like that. it has a lot of fake creatures and has lots of different races that spice up the book. the first book in the series is Eragon.
