London: Doubleday, 2005. Very Good+. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Surpassing its popular prequel Eragon, this second volume in the Inheritanc e trilogy shows growing maturity and skill on the part of its very young au thor, who was only seventeen when the first volume was published in 2003. T he story is solidly in the tradition (some might say derivative) of the cla ssic heroic quest fantasy, with the predictable cast of dwarves, elves, and dragons--but also including some imaginatively creepy creatures of evil. The land of Alagaesia is suffering under the Empire of the wicked Galbatorix, and Eragon and his dragon Saphira, last of the Riders, are the only hope. But Eragon is young and has much to learn, and so he is sent off to the elven forest city of Ellesmera, where he and Saphira are tutored in magic, battle skills, and the ancient language by the wise former Rider Oromis and his elderly dragon Glaedr. Meanwhile, back at Carvahall, Eragon's home, his cousin Roran is the target of a siege by the hideous Ra'zac, and he must lead the villagers on a desperate escape over the mountains. The two narratives move toward a massive battle with the forces of Galbatorix, where Eragon learns a shocking secret about his parentage and commits himself to saving his people., Doubleday, 2005, 3<
