This, along with Eragon, was one of the best books i've read. the attitude of Saphira keeps it interesting along with Eargon's crush on a certian someone. the only major flaw in teh book is that there is a slow lagging part of Eragon's training and teh battle of Carvahall. other than that the book was good and i cant wait until the 3rd book in teh seris comes out.
