Eldest is like the book Dragon King. Eldest is about a boy/man who is raising a dragon and has become the newest Dragon Rider since Galbatorix, the evil king. Dragon King is about a boy with a dragon. He travels around his world fighting evil people. In Eldest, Eragon the Dragon Rider is fighting with The Varden against King Galbatorix. In Dragon King, the boy has to face evil at a young age and overcome any obstacles that face him. In Eldest, Eragon has to face every bit of evil in Alagaesia at a young age and he MUST defeat it all if he is to accomplish his oaths. These books are about dragons, evil, revenge, victory, loss and inheritance. That shows how similar these books are. (I read Dragon King three years ago!)

I got confused when the book was describing Tronjheim because it was so big and the location of the city was pretty wild. Tronjeim is located inside an extremely bog mountain with a crater top called Farthen Dur. It confused me because the city was in the mountian and I think from the city walls you see a big empty area of Farthen Dur. It turns out that it's a little more complicated, Tronjeim dose have a veiw INFRONT and BEHIND of it but the sides are part of the mountain and feed in like huge balconies with houses. As the levels get higher, the houses get less populated and entually the houses stop. After the houses theres about a mile of solid rock then the Dragonhold. Above thh city is eventually is the crater and this humungus crystal thing. That's pretty much al that confused me in the book.
