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?

What a waste of a weekend. I was so upset at the end of this book when NOTHING HAPPENED. All of a sudden I'm as the end of the book and I realize that the only knowledge gained by this book was the key to Galbotrix's power. This book drug on and on with battle after worthless, meaningless battle. There were some interesting parts to the battle scenes, but as a whole the book got no where in the series. SPOILER ALERT: The other egg is still there, Arya and Eragon have made no progress in their ... Read More

To tell you the truth, I'm no youngster. Actually, I am 70 and a great fan of fantasy. Nothing has ever matched LORD OF THE RINGS for me but there are many superb fantasies around. Presently I much love Sharon Shinn's Thirteenth House series. I find Paolini's series most interesting and am amazed at how so young a writer can do so very well. I think, like others, that there is too much violence in this last book but over all, I am kept interested and have found it quite enjoyable. This young man has ... Read More

Despite their flaws, I enjoyed the other books in the Inheritance series. Paolini is creative while clearly paying homage to many other fantasy stories. However, this book is painfully slow and poorly written. Pages are spent, Moby-Dick style, exploring details that have no bearing on the plot. It's as if the writer did a lot of background research (on swords, for instance) and then couldn't manage to let any of it go. Similarly, he seems to want to explore the post-traumatic stress soldiers experience, ... Read More

After reading the first 2 books I am very disapointed with this book. I am listening to it on audio and have skiped disks just so I can keep listening. my advise just ask someone who has already read the book what happens. way to much information that is not needed. if there is an abridged version I would buy that before you try to read the entire book.

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. In fact, quite a few things seemed completely unnecessary. It was too "graphic". Much of the book is spent describing gruesome scenes of carnage. It is NOT a series for people younger than 13.
Much of the book seemed like a game of chess for lack of a better desription. I could feel the author striving for things to make ... Read More
