I liked this one a lot. Eragon is growing up and its nice to have the character start having personal problems that adults can relate too. A little more romance is nice as well. It is probably my favorite so far. ( )

this was my favorite book of the series. i really liked how everything from the preivious books fits in to make this one even better. i also thing it does a great job of setting the stage for the next book in the series. i hope that the next book is as good as this one. i highly recommend this book! read it!

This book follows the battle on the Burning Plains. Eragon's loyalties are pulled in multiple directions and he has to make decisions on which promises to fulfill. Roran needs help saving Katrina from the Ra'zac, the Varden need his help in the battlefield, and the elves and dwarves are also fighting battles throughout Alagaesia and need his help.

In this book, you encounter many new situations. Eragon goes on a journey to help Roran, while the Varden deal with unrest and low morale in the army. Eragon also makes a trip to Tronjheim to sit in on the election of a new dwarf king. This book carries Eragon all over Alagaesia. My favorite part is when you finally learn the meaning of Solembum's prophecy regarding the Menoa Tree.

This book actually made me cry at parts! The writing is absolutely fantastic. Each book in the Inheritance Cycle is better than the last! It is obvious that Christopher Paolini has grown as a writer since the first book. When I read Chris Paolini's books, I can't put them down! The depth of detail and his writing style provide a vivid mental image. I can read his books and it's like watching a movie in my head. I hope he finishes that fourth book soon. It's as bad as it used to be to wait for the next Harry Potter book!

This book left many loose ends to tie up in the final book. There are still a couple of parts so Solembum's prophecy that haven't been fulfilled (such as Eragon leaving Alagaesia forever), so I look forward to the end of the series! ( )

This book is a very interesting sci-fi story.The book is about a boy turned dragon rider and his struggles with the enemy. Brisingr is not a book recommended for young children. I would say age 10 and up. With words that aren't of the English language it can be very confusing to weak readers. It has 700+ pages and requires an interest in science fiction novels because it can drag on without much happening. ( )

So, I was looking forward to the supposed to be last book in this series, and then I find out it's going to be split into two books. That sort of lowered its appeal, because I wanted to find out what will happen in the end of the series. But I pre-ordered this and read it, and I was reasonably pleased. Eragon isn't a perfect person, which is realistic, and he still makes mistakes. I enjoyed the POVs from Nasuada and Saphira, but Roran's were agonizingly slow and boring. I detest his character. The part with the dwarves is sort of slow also, and I felt like I was waiting for there to be a major conflict, besides the whole defeating Galbatorix thing. The Brom thing was predictable, but the Eldunari made a nice plot twist secret. Overall, Brisingr is pretty good, but it felt like a filler between the beginning of the series and the fourth book. I honestly wouldn't have minded if Chistopher Paolini hadn't split it and it was over 1,000 pages. A good book, but I'm waiting impatiently for book 4. ( )
