Editorial Review

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?

• Brisingr
  If you want to finish the story, it's a given. But the writing continues to be kind of immature in its character and plot development. And now the series is being extended to a fourth book. Lucrative surely; necessary, no.
• fire!
  wasnt expecting it to be so great!
  so, i got the book just cause i hate not having finished a series i have started. it will irk me to no end. but oh my, what a surprise, the first chapter had me and for the rest of the week i read it eagerly. i was especially loving the morbid parts for some reason, especially that first chapter, it really hooked me.
  ... shame on me, i had forgotten how much i had enjoyed eragon and eldest.
  i am very pleased with 'brisingr'. paolini does not dissapoint.... more info
• The Party's Over
  I read the first book and really liked it. I read the second book and thought it was okay, though a bit uneven. I forgave it because the author went from a kid to an adult in that time and there are many forces at work there.
  I got the third book and tried to read it. I stopped. I waited. I tried again after a few weeks. I slogged through nearly 400 pages before I said to myself "if you have to SLOG through why read it" and thus I stopped.
  The book's writing is not as good as the previous two.... more info
• Heavy book, in a bad way!
  Honestly first off if you have not read this series and are thinking of starting it I suggest not wasting your time.
  Eragon starts off interesting enough. yes the story is recycled versions of other stories but done in a fresh way. The pacing of the first book of Eragon was great. The second book was a little slower but it kept my attention.
  The third installment Brisingr is so slow I would read a few pages and have to sit it down out of sheer boredom. It usually takes me a week to read a novel... more info
