Eldest

Ah the extraordinary adventure of Eragon as he travels to Ellesmera a magical forest where the elves went into hiding after Galbatorix took Alagaesia in his iron fist. There Eragon must learn the ways of the true magic and the art of swords from the elves. Sounds curious and of course it should be because this epic trilogy must come to an end in the next book. This is what I think a trilogy must have spanning over the three books. In the first book you must introduce everything such as the characters, the places, the world, the philosophy, the personal lives of everyone (optional), a quest, a problem, and of course the protagonist/antagonist. It should also leave the reader wanting for more in the next book. So far the author Christopher Paolini is doing all right. The second book can slow down a little but must be not be cumbersome. It should slowly present the solution and develop on it. I have to say Eldest was superb. It really brought the elves' lives into the picture. Every time I might get bored, the story throws a curveball at me and brings my attention right on back.
Though I have to say that the ending was really shocking and you might put your book down to think of all the facts that was subtle, which is now glaringly obvious. Trust me I'm an experienced reader and I read a lot of books that were predictable. This is not, I repeat predictable.
The final book should include the ending (no duh), the final secrets that will blow your mind away, the bad guy defeated with some terrible price being paid, and of course a perfect ending.

I hope Chris can do it for the final (and I hope amazing) installment and not mess up. If you want to know the deep secret read below my signature.

Eragon's father is Morzan. The Rider who betrayed the Riders to the evil Galbatorix. So ironic that his two sons (Eragon and Murtagh) met each other before as friends, are now hated rivals. Ironically that Eragon might save Alagaesia and that his father was the one who helped bring down continent.
