Following the colossal battle against the Empire’s warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still there is more at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep.
First is Eragon’s oath to his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran’s beloved, Katrina, from King Galbatorix’s clutches. But Eragon owes his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his talents and strength—as are the elves and dwarves. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices— choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.
Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once-simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king?
Awesome book - looking foreword to the last installment!
Though I was upset I had to wait ages for the -another- book (it was originally a trilogy), I am glad because it means the story is not over and the story has not been prematurely crammed into this book.
Awesome book, would recommend - but read the other 2 first!!
Best book ever! This book is fantastic! I love this series and can't wait for book 4! Highly recommended.
Great great book My daughter loves these books, her favorite author is Paolini. By far her favorite books
Yet another astounding work of innovation and imagination from Mr. Paolini I am sure that by now I am well known as the foremost reviewer of the Inheritance Cycle books (well, actually person is well known as that but they won't allow him to post reviews anymore so I am posting them for him). And, though I spoke exceptionally highly of Mr. Paolini's first two novels, I feel that this novel binds the other two together in a way which I had not expected and find extremely profound. Such is the fine craftsmanship and hard work that went into this novel that I believe it should be used as a reference point for all trilogies to come. This novel, embodying the true spirit of adventure and greatness, sports a gold dragon. But not just a gold dragon, a strikingly beautiful gold dragon with funny glossy eyes and a beard that's kind of twisty. But the truly remarkable thing about this novel is not merely the cover art but the way in which the cover art works harmoniously with the other two books. The first book had a blue dragon, the second had a red dragon, and now, the third, Brisinger, has a gold dragon! The colors of the dragons are exactly the same as the colors of the different shirts worn in Star Trek! Blue for science, Red for engineering, and gold for command! The subtlety and impact of this unity within the series is brilliant and astonishing! Mr. Paolini has boldly gone where no man has gone before in his intentional effort to make his books reflect the colors of Star Trek. And he has pulled it off with flying colors (pun not intended).
This trilogy will undoubtedly stand as the most unified and well crafted trilogy ever written and will be the benchmark on which all other trilogies are judged. Mr. Paolini, you have earned your crown in heaven, and William Shatner will greet thee with open arms.
This book has no right to be on the shelves of bookstores. This series has no right to sit on the shelves of bookstores next to classics such as King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, what Paolini has done is destroy other authors beautifully written material for his own material gain. A fool who has sheep who no no better for fans. I beseech all of you to read the classics of the genre, books worth reading, such as Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, there books truly are the best, especially when you compare them against this prentender. Put down Brisingr, Eldest, Eragon, and pick up a classic, you might find yourself largely surprised at how much better they are.
