  Amazon.co.uk: Eldest: Christopher Paolini: Books
"Eldest", second book in Christopher Paolini's "Inheritance" triology, picks up where "Eragon" ended, and allows us to know what is going to happen with Eragon, Saphira and their friends, and what they will need to do in order to survive the wrath of king Galbatorix.
In Eldest, Eragon is more like a man on a mission, rather than a teenager who is trying to find a certain area.
Eldest is even longer than the already big Eragon (500 something pages, while Eldest is around 700 pages) I also find it increadible that Eldest retained the quality of Eragon, even though it is a sequel to a highly successful book.

 Eldest - Inheriwiki, the Inheritance cycle wiki
Eldest is the second book in the Inheritance cycle.
Eldest begins with the death of Ajihad, and the kidnapping and apparent deaths of Murtagh and the Twins.
Some have also cited the many similarities between Eldest and some of Tolkien's work; Paolini's elves bear a close resemblance to the elves of Lórien in The Lord of the Rings, and several quotes from Eldest bear a striking resemblance to lines in Tolkien's works including the phrase "the ageless elves speak wisdom".
