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?

 Paolini does it so well August 31, 2010

The Inheritance series is just excellent reading. Amazing to think the author is so young! My only issue is that it takes so long to get the next book written so I can continue immersing myself in the saga. Great job!
absolutely awesome!!! August 27, 2010
i loved brisingr way more than eragon or eldest because the was just so much going on. ive been through all of the reviews and i think that anyone who dares call this excellent installment boring doesnt have half a brain. i also gathered that its not going to be any short wait for book 4 which is very dissapointing. some people have been waiting since 2008 for pete's sake. if you are planning on writing a sieries then get on with it! it doesnt take 2 years to write a book! but im not saying that brisingr was any worse for it but i just wish paolini would get his act together
Epic read. August 25, 2010

Christopher Paolini writes a remarkable continuation of the Inheritence Series. I couldn't put it down and I read straight through! Paolini hooks you in Eragon's world, and keeps you there. Brisingr is one of those books that you can't guess what's coming next, and you keep being surprised, part of what makes Brisingr so great! This keeps you guessing, and then you end up being wrong, and through out the entire book you essentially second guess yourself. You get insight into many more characters, all while following Eragon and Saphira. While this is a great book, Eragon does get a bit annoying after awhile, both in his actions and thoughts. He just acts so dumb at times. Also in the fact that Eragon is always after Arya so to say, and that he has a kind of big ego at times. Throughout Brisingr, you're introduced to many new characters and are always captured in the on going plot of Brisingr. The ending sure leaves you waiting for the 4th installment in the Inheritance Series, which in my opinion can not come fast enough. Overall though, it's a great read, and I strongly recommend it!
Brisingr Deluxe Edition (Inheritance) August 23, 2010
Excellent book. Absolutely loved it! The only problem with this book is that it makes me wish the next book in the series was published already because I want to find out what happens to the characters!
 Not as good as the first, but WAY better than the second August 4, 2010

Spoilers!
It seems to me that Paolini is getting to be a better writer as this series progresses. He does seem to be trying not to be long winded, but still needs a lot of work. I nearly laughed out loud when he described King Orren as "a long winded fellow." After that, I started to wonder if Paolini modeled King Orren after himself! This book is worth the read for a few vital conversations and scenes:
1. Arya talks about why she's different from the rest of her kind, and that the person she loved was killed.
2. Orik is crowned king
3. Finding out that Brom was his father (Paolini really needs to choose one character to be his father, first book: we don't know, second book: Morzan, and now it's Brom. I fervently hope that it stays that way.)
4. Discovering how Galbatorix's powers have been increasing over all these years.
5. The final fight scene in which Arya kills a Shade and Ormis and Gladier die.
I tend to read books over and over again, and almost always the whole way through, but I couldn't do that with this book. In fact, I found myself simply skipping to the 5 scenes above and not bothering to read any of the other needless fluff. Also, I found the battles from Roran's point of view rather disturbing, especially the part where he laughs. And Eragon needs to stop having all these needless conversations about death. He talked about it with Roran, Arya, Ormis, and many others besides, how many opinions does he need? Everyone gives him the same answer!
Despite all its faults, it is still a pretty good book and I would still recommend it for teenagers.
