Paolini definitely matured between Eragon and the writing of this book. This is a lot more original but still keeps the solid foundation. Very enjoyable. Eragon comes into his own as a rider, only to have to fight against the next dragonrider to have been turned by Galbatorix. If you've read any amount of fantasy, the foreshadowing from Eragon gives it right away, sadly. Along with the "surprising" revelation :-) Good YA stuff though, so I am not really knocking it. Should not be compared in the same league as regular fantasy.
