Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

OATHS SWORN . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide.

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?

I was definitely hoping for a bit more with this third installment of the Inheritance cycle. Paolini has definitely grown up a bit more in his writing. He answered a lot of nagging questions from the first books and introduce some great new twists and ideas.
However, I think that he wasted a lot of time in the first half of the book with unnecessary details and took too long to continue with the story line and get to that action in the second half. If the final book is anything like Brisingr, then I would have to disagree with his decision to split the last book into two, since it seems Brisingr could be half its current length and still be the exact same story.

I must say this is the best book i have ever read ! i have read many books of authors like pulman ,rowling etc but i find this book the most intresting . Since i first read Eragon i was stunned to see that a boy of nearly my age has written this book ! Even my parents loved the book and used to say "Look he wrote bestseller book at the 15 wat r u doing at age of 15 !".
Ijust finished Brisingr i must say its book really hard to put down and easy to get lost into . I just cant wait for the 4th book and wish it wasnt going to finish at 4th . I wish Mr Paolini may write more book abt Eragon !!!
