One of the things that is a little confusing is that there are two different stories that are going on at once. About every three chapters the author switches the story back and forth. On one scene, there is Roran in his hometown, Carvahall, in the middle of a small war. The other scene is with Eragon getting his training from the elves. If you don't notice the small stars the author put to say "setting change", you start thinking what just happened.
Some other characters that are really important besides the main character is Arya. Arya is an elve that was carrying Saphira when she was in an egg. She is one of the few elves that was outside of her homeland, Ellesmera, for more than 50 years. Since elves are immoratal, it doesn't show that she is 70 years old. Arya helps guard Eragon as he goes to Ellesmera to complete his training. She is the queens daughter but hides that from everyone outside of Du Weldenvarden, the forest the elves live in. She did not tell Eragon untill they got to Ellesmera, which got Eragon a little ticked off.
