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?

Rating: - 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 ... Read More
Rating: - Left hanging again
Another good story that leaves you hanging waiting for the next book to come out. If you can't stand to wait for the results, wait to buy this until the last one comes out.
Rating: - Awesome book!!
This is a great book. It was as good if not better than Eldest. I personally thought Eragon was a great book, however it had parts in it that were a bit boring to me causing me to lose interest. but Eldest was great all the way from start to finish. Just like this one, It is a ride from start to finish.
I just hate to have to wait for the final chapter. I cant wait to read it! Hopefully it will come out soon!
Rating: - Paolini has developed his characters more deeply and brought an even greater intensity to the action throughout
Still a boy and not yet a man, he is one of the greatest Dragon Riders and bravest of warriors. Eragon is on the edge of many discoveries and great changes. Though his sword has been taken by Murtagh, he still fights with the Varden against the madness of Galbatorix as they try to save the kingdom of Alagaesia. Shamed by the knowledge that he and Murtagh are brothers (both share Morzon for their father), he longs to understand more of his past. As a Dragon Rider, he continues to learn, to test himself ...

Rating: - Big Dissappointment
First off, Mr. Paolini lied to us. Trillogies are supposed to be in three volumes. He has decided to go for more money by expanding the series to four books. Secondly Brisinger has gone off the deep end in detailed descriptions of everything from every blade of grass that moves to each spatter of blood in the battles. The author has endevored to remove all imagination from the reader. He has even included chapters with no appearent purpose, ("Glumra") for instance. This was 748 pages which should ... Read More
