It looks like the third book in the series is set to arrive in book stores at 12:01 am on Saturday September 20th. I plan on attending the midnight party if there is one since I missed all of the HP ones;-)
I have yet to read Eldest, but I enjoyed Eragon. I think it would have profited from a better editor, but I guess mom and dad could only cut so much from the story;-)
I am curious to know what other people think of the series and whether they thought book 1 or 2 was better and why.
