"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity."—The Washington Post
Darkness falls… despair abounds… evil reigns… Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix. Now Eragon must travel to Ellésmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems. Before long, Eragon doesn’t know whom he can trust.
Will the king’s dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life. . . .

During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move. As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation.

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

WOW
let me just say that in the first book I was not a big fan of Gerard Doyles imitation of the dragons but during this book it really grew in me. Not only that but his narration of all the different characters is absolutely incredible, I especially liked the way he voiced the dwarves.
The book itself is very exciting and really activates your imagination, with the help of a great piece of writing and a great narrator you find yourself feeling the emotion and getting dragged deeply into many moments of the book.

Fantastic fantasy
Book 2 of the Eragon series, what a ride!! I enjoyed every minute of book 2 just as much as book 1. I don't want to give away anything so I won't say more. The performance of the narrator was excellent, you always knew who was talking because he always had a different voice for every character.

Amazing!!
Loved this book! Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed it (12 boy, 10 boy, 8 girl) .We listened to the whole series, several times! The narrator is phenomenal! Really brings the story to life. The author writes in a way that makes you feel, smell, taste and see! Absolutely loved it!
If you enjoyed LOTR and HP you’ll love this!

Timeless
I enjoyed this series as a kid and I am still enjoying it now. great for long commutes! Saphira and Gladr's voice is grating for long amounts of time but for little conversations, it's fine.

I can't stand saphira's voice
Love the inheritance cycle, I've read the books tons of times. I wanted to start listening to the books so I could go through them while I was working, but I just can't stand the voices of characters, mainly saphira's. It sounds like he's doing a fat Albert impression when saphira speaks and I just can't get used to it.
