Editorial Review: 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? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fantasy or Travesty?I think Paolini could have accomplished the same things in a book half as long. Many times the story meandered off course and didn't find it's way back for quite some pages. Quite a few things seemed completely unnecessary. It was too "graphic". Much of the book is spent describing gruesome scenes of carnage. I found myself lost in the logic of the book. Much of the book seemed like a game of chess. I could see the author striving for things to make sense, trying to counter the reader's skepticism. ...

Like many others, I slogged through 100's of pages of Brisingr. When Eragon went to Tronjiheim and, sounding like an American tourist, started to whine about participating in a culture that views time differently from his own ... .. I simply gave up and stopped reading. I wanted to like Brisingr, but I got lost in Tronjiheim. I can ... Read More Rating: - One step forward, two steps back.Paolini is overrated. So grossly overrated. Yes, the guy is incredibly young and wrote a very good story at an age when your chiefest concern should be which zit to pop first. He should have stopped there. If anything, his skills have deteriorated throughout this series to a point where the effort to turn each page in this book feels like I'm lifting a station wagon. I won't go on and on as it is apparent that this book has turned enough people against St. Christopher of Paolini, but I just want ...

Rating:  - Better than the 2nd, in my opinionAs a fan over the 1st 2 books and the story in it's entirety, i have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book. The book starts and ends at an excellent pace, with an epic battle with the Razak to start and another interesting war at the end. I felt that Christopher did a good job at taking his time in this book and really developing the characters. Extending the series to 4 books really allowed him to dig deeper into the story line. At times i felt like the plot took a while to develop, however in ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
