My review of Eldest

Hello. I know this is probably beating a dead horse, but I just finished Eldest last night and have to rant about it somewhere.

Actually it isnt that weird of a reaction, roran is from a medieval type of village and there he pribs never heard of or saw a human with a different skincolour, so seeing one for the first time it isnt that weird. Secondly elves were myths in their world so seeing a creature(couldnr Find a better word) he already knew of and could imagine iTS looks. Makes it less weird.

Ps. Sorry for bad english on phone atm

I'd give it a bit of a pass, actually. On Lewis and Clark's expedition, Clark brought along his black slave, York, and there is a story of a Mandan (Native American) chief trying to rub York's black off, as he was the first black person they'd ever encountered. So there is historical basis for this.

After seeing his first elf, did he also ask Eragon whether someone had pulled their ears really hard?

Nope!

I kind of wish he had, though. XD
