So, I finished the first book on my list last night, Eldest by Christopher Paolini.
It was a really good book! I found it a bit hard to start, even on the heels of Eragon, the first book in this trilogy. The story started a little slow but I think that's because instead of having to tell one person's story, it branched out into telling one person's story, one villages story and one rebel groups story. Suddenly there were many more characters to introduce the reader to, and many more cultures as well.
But, the story carries you through the slow parts, and the driving need to find out what will happen next and the ages old question of "how will he get out of this pickle?"
I found the ending to be quite satisfying, even if I could guess what was going to happen about two pages before it did.
Definately read Eragon before you read Eldest, but read them both. Then start Brisingr. I recommed all three!

yah good for you for finishing book 1! I have about 80 pages left of my second book, I think I'll try and finish it tonight.
I need more books for my challenge! I forgot (again!) that I was thinking of going to that bookstore while Emma was at the groomers) Hopefully, I'll get there this weekend. I made 2 appointments at the gym just to make sure I get off my a$$ and out the door, and the next one is on Saturday, so maybe I'll go there Saturday if I don't forget(again) since I bought groceries today, I won't need to buy much then if anything.
Anyway! I'm glad you joined the challenge! :)
