Summary Of Eldest By Christopher Paolini

Eldest
This weekend I finished the book Eldest by Christopher Paolini, the second book in the Inheritance series. When I read the first couple chapters in the book, I could definitely tell that this book would involve less adventure and more politics surrounding the war in Alagaesia. Because of all the questions Christopher Paolini left unanswered in the end of the first book, I was definitely ready for some big reveals and heart stopping plot twist. Unfortunately, the beginning of the book didn't reveal anything, which definitely kept me reading to find my answers. In general, I thought this book was a great addition to the series because of the added perspective of Roren, the crazy plot twist, and the growth of the characters throughout the …show more content…

This never occurred in the first book and I had mixed feelings about it. Roren was a very minor character in the first book, so it was surprising to find his perspective getting added. The first few chapters that were in Roren’s point of view I honestly didn't enjoy. Everything that was going on around him was very bleak and boring, but as the story of Roren continued I actually started to favor his adventure over Eragon's. I loved how Roren started out with such a simple life and then everything ran out of control. It is very relatable and added a great depth to the story. It seems his adventure at Carvahall really showed how Eragon's decision to keep Saphira affected everything he touched. For example, Eragon’s decision killed their dad, allowed Katerina (Roren’s girlfriend) to be captured, and destroyed the town, which forced Roren to lead them to Surda. Roren added so many different twist and problems that need to be solved. Since Roren made it to Surda and found Eragon, we can assume that Eragon will help Roren find Katerina. Because of this, we know that we will see more of Roren in the next book as he travels with Eragon. I am very pleased with the way Christopher Paolini wrote Roren. She really showed off Rorens trait of leadership towards the end of the book when he lead the villagers through the Boar’s eye whirlpool.In short, I really couldn’t be happier with the addition of Roren to the

I liked the style of this book, it was unique. It was cool how the author of WRKCR said things to remember in the beginning, but you instantly forget when you get near the end. By then, you remember how it literally gave away what killed Cock Robin, but in differently arranged words. It also had a cool technique with the points of view. In the beginning, it was present time, as well as the end of the book.

Though the plot is really good, there are still some things that weren’t as good. One thing that I thought was a little weird was that the book was written at a highschool level. Another thing was the abrupt sentence changes and some of the sentences were worded a little differently. Also, some things were reiterated more than needed and certain words were way overused. Yet, even with all of these lesser things there was still some really good things(besides the plot) that I noticed.

I do think some improvements here and there could really make the book better. The writing is marvelous, much like Neal’s other books, but the plot seemed under-developed and disjointed. It’s as if he wrote an a thousand page book, then cut all the important, thought provoking pages out; leaving the book to be good, but choppy. Overall, I’m really glad I read this book, and I think others should as

I also would have enjoyed the novel less if I could not have related to the main character at some points in the novel. At other points in the novel I would have enjoyed it less if I could have related to the main character. It was great being able to connect with the book on a personal level and it was also great not being able to relate because I got to learn how different people can handle scenarios differently. I could also relate this novel to the Secret Daughter novel. The main character Asha does not know her true self and wants to know more about her past.

Firstly, I didn’t like how the book ended because it ended up with Tris’ parents both dying. I thought it was a rather sad ending, but everything else about the book was very good. The pacing tone used in this book was phenomenal because when things got intense, the book started to get a face pace., but when it was a more calm and quiet time it was a slow pace. I thought that the book had just the right amount of characters because they all had something to do in Tris’ situation, and they weren’t just some non-factor. The plot of this book was very exciting and the way it was written was too perfect.

I also enjoyed the books quick and light-heated nature of the story. Even the books darker moments had a whimsical twist. My only major criticism of the book is that I felt that some parts of the book where drawn out a little too long and that more time was spent of certain scenes than necessary. Some of the more archaic writing conventions can be difficult to understand at times. Those who enjoy a more upbeat and whimsical story but also want to experience a grand adventure would enjoy this book.

Nora can easily be described as childish and immature through the way she handles adult situations, interacts with her husband, and the way she acts as a selfish mother and wife. One may say that Nora is not childish, but afraid to stick up for herself. Torvald and Nora’s relationship

Nora acts how Torvald has primed her to, she stays out of his business, and as a reader of the book, it seems as though he sees her solely for her physical appearance, and their attraction is only physical, which could have contributed to the fall of their
