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?

Excellent Book October 7, 2008
Brisingr is an exellent installation to the Eragon series, it was easy to fall right back into the swing of the story and even pick up basicly right where I left off thanks to the great synopsis that was included to refresh what happened in Eragon and Eldest. I agree that a good fantasy novel is one that you don't want to put down, one that draws you into its plot and causes you to forget about your everyday life. If you are one that enjoys that you'll love Brisingr AND the rest of the Inheritance Cycle. I just am disapointed that book 4 isn't ready yet. As much as I hate to see it come to a close I can't wait to see it either..

Cover... October 6, 2008

I pre-ordered this book for my boyfriend who is still in the middle of it, as he says that Eldest was better. When the book arrived, we opened the box and noticed that the jacket of the book didn't have the title printed on the front or the spine. The jacket cover only has the dragon on it, and no words. Did anyone else recieve a copy like this?
Thanks

Engaging Read October 6, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have been a fan of these books since the beginning, and I would classify this one as his best yet. Eragon was choppy and slow in parts while Eldest had moments of capturing the reader, but was more of a love story. Brisingr, however, finally marks where Paolini grows into a more mature writer with his action and story telling ability.

New welcome twists appear and we finally meet (through Murtagh) Galbatorix. Yes, it is a classic and somewhat predictable plot, but it was a fulfilling read. This series is not too outlandish or weird, and you can identify with the characters. I look forward to the next and final book.

I was introduced to Eragon by my little brother while I was my parents on vacation. I began reading it from lack of anything else to do and was hooked. When Eldest came out I devoured it in short order as well. I was disappointed when I got to the end of Eldest and found out I would have to wait. I still how ever found this book enthralling and didn't want to put it down the whole time I was reading it. I had to know what happened next. Many of these reviews slam this book pretty hard but you have to realize that these books fall under Juvenile fiction and therefore are not supposed to be overly complicated by heavy plots. While the book was filled with a lot of dialog that sometimes I did want to skip over I realized that it tied things together which were left rather open in the first two books and furthered the depths of each character. I also noticed the parallels between these books and those of Tolkien and McCaffery, but take in to consideration that these were his influences. Not to mention that there aren't to many original ideas out there any more as everything has been don at least once. Your best bet is to just lose your self in the pages and flow of ideas and images and just enjoy it for what it is a very good book.

I Thought Trilogy Meant 3? October 6, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Christopher Paolini has gone the way of other writers like Jane Auel and Clan of the Cave Bear. He took an initially good story and strayed so far off course that none but the most dedicated Eragon fans could endure the drivel. When I saw the back jacket and realized that this story was going to drag on I didn't even bother finishing the book.
