Product Description
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 loved this series- this is book three, so you'll have to read them in order- Book one is "Eragon" and book two "Eldest". I guess I am a 56 year old child- but if you like fantasy books- dragons, elves, and adventures then this is great for any age. I am looking forward to the next book by Christopher Paolini.

This book shows how much Christopher Paolini has matured as a writer since Eragon. I finished the 700 something page book in 3 days and it was so suspenseful and gripping, I couldn't put it down. I finished the book after a 5 hour nonstop reading session, and now I only feel sadness at the indefinite waiting period between Brisingr and the 4th, and final, book in the Inheritance cycle. as each chapter drew to a close, it presents you with a cliffhanger of such@intensity that it feels simply impossible to put the book down. in Eldest, the second book in the cycle, I admit that i dreaded the scenes where the focus shifted away from Eragonandonto his cousin Roran, but in Brisingr, every part kept me on the edge of my seat, reading hungrily ad waiting for more. Se onr sverdar sitja hvass!

Brisinger is excellent. Paolini continues the Earagon saga with another great edition. I think his books are maturing at a incredible rate. He has done a great job with this book, continuing to build the plot and characters for the final conclusion in the last book, which I will be impatiently waiting for. Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3)

This might be the best book so far in the series. Once you start reading the book, you can hardly put it down, I read the entire book in a weekend. I am not sure what to say about those who gave the book less than 3 stars, I have read far worse books. I can't wait for book 4, it should be even better. I read a book about every other week, so I think I have a better than most feel for a what a good book is and what a bad one is, and this is a good read.
Great for all ages November 9, 2008

I have like all of the triliogy/cycle books so far. Reading them all in less than 3 weeks most of the time. This book I actually read in 12 days. I've always loved dragons, so these books are simply great. I can't wait for the last book and last fight.
Just for all to know, the movie Eragon doesn't do the book justice. The movie is pure crap.
If youhave a kid who really doesn't liek to read, these 3 books would make a great gift and look great in anyones library!
