No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. hb I actually want to give this a 4.5~4.7. One of the opening scenes in this book was hard for me to follow, but after reading all the way to the end, it makes a lot more sense. And that wasn't the only time I thought, hmmm, that doesn't seem well planned/make sense... only to continue reading and find out later I just needed to be patient for Paolini to reveal things that the POV characters weren't aware of at the time. I love the complexity and depths of so many of the characters and how many actions and decisions are not given a 'good' or 'bad' label but also shown to be complex with various shades of grey. I was surprised by some turns of events, and sometimes saddened that what I hoped was me misreading Paolini's foreshadowing and hints turned out to be correct. I don't remember him having multiple POV characters in Eragon but his use of changing points in this book really enhanced the suspense at some points, and helped to fill in gaps at others. If you liked the first book, keep reading. The story is worth continuing. Not near as good as Eragon. My main problem was Rohan. The parts with Eragon were decent if not good but for some reason I found Rohan super annoying. I know he brought it all together at the end but really I don't think the author is in touch with Rohan as much as Eragon. Let's hope the next book is better. The first book was ok and for some reason I decided to give this book a chance (I think I did because somebody gave the book to me as a present.) Anyways just like the first book, this was just ok/good. Nothing new or original and I've seen it before in other fantasy books. 00010313
Nothing wrong with a good thick serving of swords 'n' sorcery, but it needs a hero. In the hands of a writer like George R.R. Martin, Lois McMaster Bujold, Barbara Hambly, or J. K. Rowling, the central characters of fantasy are persons worth knowing: smart, flawed, moral, doomed to love the world more than the world loves back. It's fun that they're kings and queens and wizards, but we read the books because Miles Vorkosigan or Harry Potter are in them, the kind of people we'd like to know and be. Unfortunately, Eragon just doesn't measure up to the standard; he's a Frankenstein video-game hero, clanking with magic armor, charms, and weapons, but long on seams and short that essential spark of life. It's clear that Paolini has drive and talent, and "Eldest" is, for the most part, competently constructed and written. The problem, however, is that anyone committed to reading a 2,000-page epic deserves more than competence and tropes that have been used countless times before.
