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- What a waste of time November 23, 2008 Slow paced and boring. Not anywhere near the level of either of the first two books. In fact, if it this had been the first book of the series, I know I would never have finished it or started the series.
I know that he must set up the fourth (and hopefully final) book with some new characters and anticipated plot twists, but this book gives us very little of anything else. Even the small amount of foreshadowing is lost in the hundreds of pages of drivel that is written.
I think that when the last book comes out, we will find that it could have stood alone with the first two as a complete trilogy, eliminating the need for "Brisingr" altogether.
Loved this book. November 23, 2008 I loved this book. It's great for all ages. Can't wait for the next one.
Horrible! Just Horrible! November 21, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
"Brisingr," the third in the "Inheritance Cycle," is yet another example of the Devil's plot to corrupt the minds of everyone on Earth. As ludicrous as this might sound, it is true. The Bible specifically says that Satan works to deceive people, especially in the Last Days, in which we now find ourselves. "Brisingr" is a bad book that does no one any good by reading it. Like my reviews said of the previous two books, it hurts people who read it. Maybe not right away or in ways you can tell, but certainly in eternal ways and in the long-run. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing!
Brisingr November 21, 2008 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! November 21, 2008 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. i loved reading nasuadas and rorans storys, i was very surprised to see that the book did have more than eragons perspective, i dont recall if the other books did that or not?... and i enjoyed the snippets of a dragons view! hmm, i do believe that harry potter 7 has somewhat wounded me. when i found out that roran had his own storys throughout the book 'brisingr' i pleaded with each of his storys 'please dont kill him. please dont kill him. NOT LIKE FRED, DONT DO IT PAOLINI!' well, youll just have to read to find out if roran lives or not. Oh, yes! probally like many of you, i watch 'the seeker' on sundays. and yes, it does remind of eragon very much, there are similarities. but im not nettled by it. their just influences. eragon is great and original in its own right. and i enjoyed the authors note at the end. very endearing. and the dictionary was a bonus! oh, and i thought eragon the movie was ok. no, i admit it, i liked it alot! but, yes, it left parts out that play out in the second and third book, but i believe they can still make the second movie... i hope they do. anyways, enjoy brisingr!
