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:

When this first series started, this was to be a trilogy...and could have been finished as such...3 books...but greed got in the way...to bad the first 2 books were excellent...this one "stunk" Rating:  - Brisinger reveiwI thought this book was good but I was expecting a more climatic ending. Rating:  - BrisingrExcellent read. Christopher has lived up to the previous books in this series. Can't wait for the next one Rating:  - Dismal at bestAs written by another reviewer "If you liked the Lord of the Rings series, then you'll probably like the Inheritance cycle as well." Actually, The Lord of the Rings trilogy was a wonderful, well-written trilogy. This fantasy series is in essence a great first showing (Eragon) with an okay sophomoric offering (Eldest) and a dismal current contender (Brisingr). I hope that this was more the fault of the publishers than Paolini's own writing. In many places the writing actually ...

The plot is good, with a large amount of deviation from the overall storyline, which amounts to a slow, steady progression of the war of Surda vs. the Empire and Gallabatorix. The story flows well, but the devil crops up in the details. Eragon, the now half-elf Dragon Rider, still reeling from his disastrous fight ... Read More |
