Publisher Description
Don’t miss the eagerly anticipated epic new fantasy from Christopher Paolini—Murtagh!
The Empire is at war and the stakes have never been higher in Book Three of the Inheritance Cycle, perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings! This New York Times bestselling series has sold over 40 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation.
"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." —The Washington Post
Oaths sworn . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide... 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? Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still, there is more adventure 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.
When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices-choices that will take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The much-anticipated third book in Paolini's Inheritance Cycle continues to rely heavily on classic fantasy tropes. The novel launches with magician and Dragon Rider Eragon, his cousin Roran and the dragon Saphira on a quest to rescue Roran's betrothed. The cousins soon split up, and Roran undergoes his own series of heroic tests, culminating in a well-choreographed and intense fight against an Urgal (a ram-human hybrid). Eragon, at the same time, encounters treacherous dwarves, undergoes even more training with the elf Oromis and gains a magical sword suitable for a Dragon Rider. The silly revelations about Eragon's background in the previous book, Eldest, are given a new spin near the end, but the change is neither unexpected nor interesting. Predictably, the book concludes with even more character deaths and another battle, but those expecting a resolution will have to wait until the next novel. The clich\xE9d journey may appeal to younger readers of genre fiction. Older teens, even those who might have first cut their teeth on Paolini's writing years ago, are less likely to be impressed. Ages 12-up.
Customer Reviews
AWESOME!
This book is AMAZING!! I THINK EVERYONE AT AGE 12 SHOULD READ THE SERIES! THE INHERITANCE CYCLE IS MY FAVORITE SERIES 4 EVER!!
Crazy AWESOME BOOK
I've to be completely honest, I am 14 years old and as you people know 14 year olds DO NOT READ. Well I don't know why but one day I said "hey this cover of this book looks kinda cool" I just bought Eragon as a DECORATION! One day on summer break, I was alone in my house with absolutely nothing to do. There was no internet and I still didn't have a phone to use or text or call or whatever. So I just took the book and started reading. The first part about the Shades and stuff I completely didn't understand, so I closed the book and went to have a snack and came back, and I thought, "hey, I've nothing to do, this is better than nothing" So I got to the part where Saphira hatches and I just COULDNT stop, now I'm on Brisingr, and I'm liking it a lot. In fact, I'm loving it. So yeah give it a try, i liked it and I don't read. If you are a book persone I'm sure you wont regret it. And I thank YOU Mr. Paolini for making such a good story.
=)
Please don't stop writing these absolutely lovely books.
