Brisingr by Christopher Paolini
yes, I have read it.
30. Brisingr by Christopher Paolini in English
Third book of the Inheritance series. Paolini's style improved a lot. The middle part of the story felt too slow to me, and I wondered whether it was worth it to extend the series to four books. Still, I will read the final book, too.
... very well thought out. As mad as I was at Christopher Paolini for leading me to believe, right to the very end, that Brisingr was the final book in his 'trilogy', it was a much better option than having a weak ending.
I only give it four stars, whereas it's prequels got 5 and 4 1/2

62. Brisingr, or, The seven promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular by Christopher Paolini
One of many plain problems with Brisingr . I didn't get the impression Mr. Paolini was paying much attention to what he was doing.
I like Eragon. I liked Eldest pretty well too. Brisingr stunned me with how TERRIBLE it was.
If you like fantasy, Eragon is an example of all the fantasy tropes done correctly and you should read it. Don't bother with Brisingr, it reads like an RPG guide.

Finished both Eldest and Brisingr by Christopher Paolini this weekend. Now I just have to wait for him to finish the 4th (and likely the final book) in the series to see how it ends.
29 books read.
>#7: I can't say Brisingr was a "worst book", but I do agree that it seemed it would never end and did not measure up to the first two. And then to find out there is going to be a fourth book when this one was supposed to be and should have been the last!
... but haven't taken it home yet.... Hmmm...

sadly, I'm going to have to say Brisingr , but more because I loved the first two books so much and was expecting more from this book. It drug on forever.

Espy has a good point about Brisingr . It's really not so horrible, it just isn't a book to read in one sitting. And there were spots that dragged, but also parts I really liked. It is certainly better than Eldest. Though it still bothers me that it's no longer a trilogy.
RE Brisingr:
I'm starting to believe that I'm the only person on the face of the planet that actually enjoyed Brisingr ...
I like Eragon. I thought that some of the writing was juvenile, he stole things from pretty much every major epic, and he should have had a better editor, but the ...
I enjoyed Brisingr well enough. It did get slow in places but the story itself is enjoyable. 8) It was a bit of a filler book, though, I agree.
... book called Eragon by Christopher Paolini. It was good enough read for me to go out and buy volumes 2 Eldest and 3 Brisingr .
At the moment i am reading A Garden in the Rain by Lynn Kurland.

Glad you liked Eldest. Unfortunately, you will discover that Brisingr is now the 3rd of 4 books. When I figured that out it was very frustrating. I was looking forward to the conclusion.
... haven't had any nachos either. That sounds good though.

If she doesn't lose it first.
I finished Brisingr ! Yeah! I'm still reading Harry, a History, Forever Princess, The Classroom of Choice, and something else that I can't remember.

... a little tired of Eldest.
Edited for spelling and because after I posted that I read on another thread your views on Brisingr .
I finished Brisingr at 1:30 my time this morning. Technically it was Feb. 1st when I finished it, but I was still running on Jan. 30th.
I have never read Queen of the Damned
but I have read........Brisingr !
Everybody do a little dance. I finished last night!
... you're making me want to reread those!
*waves to Kirby* I feel like I haven't seen you lately! Hi! Still going on Brisingr ... it's the last day of January, but I won't count it against you if you finish it this weekend. Close enough. ;)
My challenge is to finish Brisingr by the end of January. I better get busy, since today is the last day and I'm on page 566.
I take my challenges one step at a time.
I finished Fruits Basket volumes 16-21, and have made it to page 566 of Brisingr . I'm getting closer! Let's see if I can finish it tonight!

Book #3 - Brisingr by Christopher Paolini
The third book of the Inheritance cycle, this is a good but not groundbreaking fantasy novel in the same vein as David Eddings and Guy Gavriel Kay.
It says that I will love Brisingr , but of course I still can't find it to finish it.

Yes I finally finished reading Brisingr It took me awhile but at least I finished it. I have now started reading The Tales of Beedle the Bard
I've been a fan of paranormal books since the Christopher Pike days! Since then, I've become fans of Laurell K. Hamiliton(vampires and fae), Kim Harrison, Jeaniene Frost, L.J. Smith, Patricia Briggs, and a ton more.
I think this WILL be a challenge and will force me to ...
... you read in '08 on my TBR list for '09! The Marked series, the Cinda Williams Chima books, Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr ... I also own several other Philippa Gregory books I really need to read eventually; I've had them for ages.
If we're expanding it to include any Chuck Palahniuk books, I've read Fight Club but I haven't read Brisingr .
... and some more tea and quiet time should do wonders....then for sure I'll be ready for work on Monday....
I am working on Brisingr , so far, so good....maybe I'll finish that this weekend...
I know that I will not set a list for myself this year...I will read whatever my heart fancies....If I ...
Currently, I'm looking for my book Brisingr .
I'm also in the middle of Blue Bloods: Revelations, and Harry, a History.
I'm also waiting on a couple of B&N orders of Manga books.
BN: My copy of Brisingr is still missing. I even looked on the shelf with The Book of Lost Things, but it's not there. I think maybe The Book of Lost Things ate it. I seriously need to find it an finish it. I'm about 400 or so pages into it.
BN: My skin is still broken out. :( I even ...
10 more minutes for us. Still haven't found my Brisingr book, which was my goal to finish before 2009. Oh well. New goal: finish it by next week....
I am really moving at a snails pace with reading Brisingr . Hopefully I will take some time to read today.
... it entirely even if I didn't like one of them (i.e. Eragon and Eldest and I've heard so many people struggle with Brisingr I'm scared to go near it) and I might as well finish them all.
... know what the big deal is about. It made since to me bib.
I'm working on reading that one too. My goal is to finish Brisingr by the end of the year. I'm about half way through it.
Step 1: Find where I put the book.
I've also seen four books be called a "Cycle" as in The Inheritance Cycle , or just a "series..."
... movie, they have to keep what happens a secret.
At home I'm reading Descendants of Darkness 7, The Paradise War, and Brisingr .
I will finish Brisingr by the end of the year!!! I will! I've been very distracted by trying to make a certain unnamed present for a certain unnamed HE'r, ...
So I have finished both Brisingr and The Jumping-Off Place! Lately I've been trying to read everything in the stack of a dozen or so books from the library. Right now I'm on The Treasures of Weatherby.
... the next 2 books, but after that I'm sunk. I'm surprised that I'm actually interested in them.
I'm also going to finish Brisingr (I can do it!) someday. I want to finish my super secret Christmas present before I get back into reading that. I'm hoping to finish it tonight.
... Thrones, I like it, but just keep picking up other books. Finished The Book Thief, great book. I have indeed picked up Brisingr and so far I have been enjoying it. Does not llok like a 50 book year for me, oh well, will try again next year. Need to pick shorter books eh? LOL
... once in a while, I am wrong. I thought this series was going to be totally bogus and lame. I'm also still trying to finish Brisingr
... time instead of subtle and letting me figure it out for myself. I was also just sick of long books in generally (I read Brisingr last month) and had to force myself to read it, but in the end I felt it was worthwhile (OK, I sat at the table long after I'd finished reading because I was ...
Brisingr - Really, I am getting farther along. I read it for almost the entire time I was waiting on my car being fixed (1 1/2 hours).
Descendants of Darkness- Someone suggested this one to me, so I picked it up at B&N tonight. It's my first manga.
... Never Ending Story book was added to my TBR pile a couple of months ago. I hope to get to it in not all that much time. Brisingr will come first.
I finished Brisingr ! :D You can do it, Kirby! It gets better the farther you get.
I have a huge stack from the library right now, so I'll pick something from that next. Or perhaps I'll finish something else on my "currently reading" list.
... the relationships and seeing the characters become different people. They were all so stagnant in Eldest. At least in Brisingr the characters regained their individuality.
Finished Brisingr a few days ago. It took me a lot longer to finish than I first figured, partially due to classes. However, the book itself took some serious effort to get through. The first half seemed really long. I found myself getting angry at characterization and editing mistakes (cactuse ...

I am also with Eragon in ?(can't remember the name) in Brisingr but am finding it a little be hard to get stuck there
... heard people say you either love it or hate it. I'll have to pick it up next time I'm in town.
I'm still working on Brisingr . I'm going to make myself finish it this weekend. Matter of fact, I'm logging off right now to go read.
My goal this long weekend is to finish Brisingr .
I'm (crying) reading Untamed and Moonshine. I've all but abandoned Brisingr and Saint Maybe, but I don't want to give up on them.

I am primarily reading Brisingr and The Jumping-Off Place right now and I am knitting socks based on the pattern Nine-to-Five from ravelry.

... could. Which books are you planning on reading in the future?
For me, I plan to read Shadow Puppets by Orson Scott Card, Brisingr by Christopher Paolini, and Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer.
Your turn!
So far this month I've read Brisingr , Sovay, Howl's Moving Castle and House of Many Ways, The Cabinet of Wonders, Red Dragon Codex, The Hunger Games, Inkspell, Stowaway, and Outcast and Eclipse.
I'm about 1/2 way through Brisingr , and 2/3 the way through Welsh Terrier. Brisingr is starting to go a little better for me.
... to read 100 books this year, alas, I'm only up to 84 :( I don't know that I will make it.
I've been struggling thru Brisingr since the day it came out. I'm also reading Saint Maybe which is probably the most depressing book I've read since God don't like ugly and She's come undone. ...
I have been reading Brisingr for ages. I am finally nearing the end. The first of the series was my favorite by far, now I think I'm reading just hoping to relive the enjoyment of the first book.
Next up for me to start is The Jumping-Off Place by Marian McNeely, which is my Early Reviewer ...
... for it to be one of my favorites.
I go to Twilight by Stephenie Meyer next.
If I didn't post before about Brisingr by Christopher Paolini, it really needed editing. I am caught up in the story, but this third book was WAY too long. There is an author interview at the end ...

#102 compski- Sure. Why not? Any objections espy?
Sooooo.... I'm still working on Brisingr and The Paradise War. I'm about halfway through both.
Read Inkheart and Inkspell and Brisingr on the plane a few days ago, I thought young adult fantasy would be fun for a change and they were! Definitely passed the time easily.

I finished Brisingr late last night, and started Born Digital this morning. I will probably also start Flora's Dare today or tomorrow.

How do you sum up a 750 page book in just a paragraph with no spoilers? I'll try... Eragon and Saphira have to fulfill their promise to Roran to help him save Katrina, so all three go after the Ra'zac in Helgrind. Meanwhile, Nasuada finds herself trying to ...

Yeah, I really got tired of the swearing-in-the-ancient-language excuse by the end of Brisingr . It feels to me like he tried to retcon a bunch of stuff that he hadn't thought about in his first book. I'm starting to wonder if the reason he split it into three books is because he added this whole ...
This is the real struggle for me:
Brisingr
A scary thought...A part of me wants to cut the book in two so I can carry half of it around with me to read now, and read the other half of it once I'm done with that. Books need to be portable! And yet, when it came to reading HP books 4-7 my ...
Sounds as good as any. Seems to me he had Brisingr named at the end of Eldest.
bell7 - I, too, enjoyed Brisingr but thought it too long. 800 page books seem to be the thing these days and, like, you, I get half way through and want something else. This is when I try and read two (or more) books at the same time - give a bit of variety.
Still working through Brisingr - approx. 450 pages done and another 300 left to go. It's been over a week and I'm ready for a new book. It's not a bad story, just way too long, and I feel the need to polish off something quick and easy to boost up my "books read" numbers by the end of the year.

Thanks, espy! Perhaps we should say that we are not reading Brisingr and wrap the book up in a fake cover with some other title.

I finished Brisingr ! (aka Dragongirl and Warriorboy Do Pointless Things) Definitely had times when I couldn't put it down and other times when I wanted to do something else. Thankfully LT existed for those moments. Of course, now I want to read the next book, but this one doesn't end with a huge ...
I have been reading Brisingr for four weeks now and I am about 150 pages from the end. This weekend should do it, I hope. I now owe the library 50 cents!
... Corbenic, Icecore, Wizard's Heir, and The Last Knight and Rogue's Home this month. Next I plan to try to read Brisingr .
I am immune. Brisingr came in for me at the library yesterday and I am well over halfway through it. I'm probably going right back to it after I catch up on threads.
K, I think I have caught the same should-read-Brisingr -but-keep-reading-other-things disease. I borrowed it from someone 3 weeks ago and am still not even halfway done. :/ She's going to ask for it back soon and I won't be done! Why won't I just read it!?
I didn't read Brisingr yet after all. I stayed up till 2am reading Fingersmith one night and decided to finish it first before moving on to that book. I'm a little over half way through it. Great book, mar and LG!
GN: Brisingr finally came in at the library.
BN: So did a bunch of other books on top of what I already had out. It's definitely a priority, though, since other people are waiting on it. Maybe it'll kick me out of this funk I appear to be in when it comes to reading books.

I think I'm still reading all the same things, primarily Brisingr , Inkdeath. Everything else is kind of waiting for me to finish those two.
10.1 That is what I thought! I wonder if JKR was a JRRT fan? I am reading Brisingr and it is obvious he is now that I am reading works by both authors at the same time.

MusicMom - see my review of Brisingr . I like the series but books 2 and 3 and, I presume, 4 are long. It's good fantasy, though. I found the Harry Potter books to be faster reads and it's a different kind of fantasy. I think you'll enjoy them.
About halfway through Brisingr by Christopher Paolini - it is loooooong, and very little has actually happened yet, so I've been skimming. I might put it down and read something else today to give myself a break.

Will continue to read High Tide ... and will start Brisingr later today. I have a week before my supplier from the north comes and will also want to read it - he'll probably do that while he's here and not bother to take it back to Buffal ...
Just received in the mail
Brisingr
Crucible: McCoy
Crucible: Spock
Crucible: Kirk
I admit I got the last three mostly because Ii wanted free shipping for hte first one, thoug I do read Star Trek novels, so it's not a total waste.
I am also reading Stork Naked and High Tide at Ge ...
I'm currently reading Brisingr by Christopher Paolini. It's the third book in the Inheritance Cycle. Although it's known as Lord of the Rings for young people, I think it's a great series.
... it then not. :-)
The Lost Choice by Andy Andrews made it's way to my mailbox today. And dear hubby surprised me with Brisingr -- what a sweetie!
I'm happy because Nation and Brisingr are on thier way to me. Unhappy because my mum will lecture me about not having any money when they arrive, but she goes away on saturday so if it doesn't turn up till then...
Also unhappy because the other part of my order Blood of elves isn't coming ...
... table, and 2 mini stacks under a side table in my bedroom... and they're growing!
I just saw that Christopher Paolini's Brisingr is finally out and I must make haste to get myself a copy. I loved Eragon (and hated the movie!) and Eldest so I'm looking forward to this third book. Did I ...
#158 K- You do need to read Eldest first. I haven't started Brisingr yet, but if it's anything like Eldest you'll need that background information.
I am so behind in reading. I just got into a non-reading mode for about a week. Let's see... I'm still reading Artemis Fowl and the Time Para ...
Good. You need to be safe K. Maybe when she takes you home tonight you can search out a new way home.
GN: I picked up Brisingr Saturday.
BN: Haven't got a chance to begin reading it yet.
... it has a water mark on it from all the times I've used it as a coaster. The effect is very arresting.
I forgot about Brisingr ! Am I an idiot? (don't answer that it was a rhetorical question :P````)
27) The Hamlet by Faulkner
28) Stork Naked
29) Brisingr
... just happened?" moment.
I am going to start reading Run by Ann Patchett unless the library calls tomorrow with Brisingr or Three Cups of Tea. Has anyone read that last one?
I picked up Brisingr tonight. I'm debating on whether to begin it tonight or not.
... a heavy tome to read at all, at all.
So I am working on three books and I just got a note saying my Amazon order with Brisingr is on its way and I'll want toread that before Scott comes down the first weekend in October so he can have it.
Am I taking up too much of your posting space, Li ...

I like Eragon, both the book and the movie.
I have also read Eldest and have Brisingr on order and due here in a couple of weeks.
I agree, Midnight for Charlie Bone. It's a good book, and easiest read.
wingert-I've got it preordered, along with Brisingr
... Wizard Heir
The Dragon Heir
Please keep ideas coming for my next trip. I'm still making a list for my visit when Brisingr comes out.

B&N trip in a few weeks, and I'm making my list. Here it is so far:
Brisingr
Charlie Bone and the Shadow
Stephen Lawhead books (I have a few)
Maybe Book 2 & 3 of John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice books
I know there is more, but I can't think of any right now. Suggestions from ...
... *reaches for smelling salts* I thought it was surprisingly good for such a young author. I'm anxiously anticipating Brisingr , as well as the new Charlie Bone book (both coming out this month).
But then again, I do teach 2nd grade. Maybe my standards for YA books are a little lower.
Well, isn't Brisingr coming out next month?
... Books that I've gone to look for at the library and found in the "Juvenile" or "Young Adult" sections.
1. Brisingr Jane Eyre (why this was in the YA ...
... an email for Sweet Mandarin... Hope I get it. THEN, I just had a thought... I wonder if they have ARCs available for Brisingr ... 8-O ... I'll just click over and beg for one... :-D
... Dawn (and Midnight Sun!!!!), A Feast of Fools by Rachel Caine, my trip to PEI, Canada, I'm also looking forward to Brisingr and there is too much more to bore you all with.
Another one I'm looking for: Brisingr
Sepulchre by Kate Mosse

Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr

... I notice you have a lot of dragon books. I just finished reading Eragon and Eldest a couple weeks ago, and I have Brisingr on reserve at my local bookstore. I absolutely love the series, so I'm picking Eragon for you. :-D
Whoever picks for me, I haven't tagged any of my books ...
... had a similar feel to it as The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Waaaah, though... I have to wait until Sept. 20th for Brisingr ... that's sooo far away. I have mine reserved already.
I just finished Eldest and now can't wait until October for Brisingr ... Waaaaaaah!!!
Now, it's back to reality with The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini.
I'm also working on King's Skeleton Crew while I sit and wait on the kids. The fact that it's short stories make it easier to pick up ...
I just finished Eldest, second book in the Inheritance cycle by Chris Paolini. I'm dying now. Brisingr , the third book, doesn't come out until October. I read Eragon and Eldest back to back, so there'll be a bit of a continuity issue come October. But, oh well! What can I do... anyone ...
... and magical creatures were a welcome vacation. I'm going to read Eldest next, then wait desperately for Brisingr to come out in the fall. I found out that it's a cycle, not a trilogy, now. Paolini said to do it all in the way the books deserve would have made Brisingr ...

I'll be starting Brisingr in a couple days, and I fear I may not have a peaceful night's sleep again for a while ;-)
