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?

 Where was the editor? October 13, 2008
I am a big fan of this series but somewhere about the 200 page mark I began to lose interest.
Was the editor asleep at the wheel?
Large sections of this book could have been removed without any effect on the overall story. Did we really need to know how all the individual dwarves voted? Did we really have to have two long winded sword making scenes? What was with all the random battles?
Where did all the interesting characters go? A scant few pages of Angela(and most of those were poorly written) and even Ayra, the supposed love interest, pretty much disappeared for most of the book.
I finished the book with the conclusion that this had been written for the money or for the writer's ego. Pity.
 Utter rubbish October 13, 2008
In my opinion if one skips Brisingr and moves directly from part 2 to part 4, not much would be missed. Brisingr can be summarized in 2 sentences related to Eragon's new weapon and the secrets revealed to him. Otherwise the overall plot would not be affected in the least if this part never existed.

I loved this book, however while I was reading it, I forgot that Brisingr is the third of four books. I thought it was still a trilogy, so I was extremely irritated and dissappointed that the book I had waited so long to read was not the end of Eragon's story. But I enjoyed Brisingr so I look forward to the fourth and final book!
Awesome Book! October 12, 2008

A great contiuation of the series. We see all the old characters developed more and the introduction of a few more. I love getting inside the dwarven politics as the elect a new king. I also enjoy reading from Saphira's point of view more as she and Eragon spend time apart.
 MUCH better than 'Eldest', MUCH more like 'Eragon'!!! October 12, 2008

'Brisingr" is MUCH better written than 'Eldest'. Although I still feel that 'Eldest' was a good read, I felt 'Eldest' was written more by the editors, than by Paolini, so therefore, less of Paolini's "soul" came through. I was almost tempted to not buy 'Brisingr', but I decided to take the chance that Paolini would come into his own. I'm glad I did, because this book, 'Brisingr', seems to have MUCH more of Paolini's "soul", because it "flows" so much more like 'Eragon'. Way to go Paolini, for standing up for what you believe to be more creative writing! I'm proud of you! I'm really looking forward to your 4th book in this series! =)
