Delightful captivating read. I picked up ELDEST, the sequel to ERAGON, @ local thrift store & was intrigued by authors young age. When I realized it was a sequel decided to order ERAGON from PBS to start from beginning.
Am a grandma & don't usually read sci-fi/fantasy, but wanted to sample before passing on to my granddaughter. Finished ERAGON in just few days & have now started on ELDEST while characters are still fresh.
Main criticism for early readers is abundance of "gore" & "slaughter", but realize it is part of reality of ancient times. Young adults should be able realize it if "fantasy".

Interesting characters pull you into the book. Enjoyed look into the life of "Old Money" families. Knew pretty much how it was gonna turn out, but enjoyed the the journey with quirky twists & turns. Great effort for first novel. Well deserving of nomination for "EDGAR" award.
