Book Reviews of Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3) (The Inheritance Cycle)
Book Review: A Pleasant Surprise!
Summary: 5 Stars
No Spoilers
This book is by far the best book Paolini has written by far. In the year he took off and the time it has taken him to write this book he has grown so much as a writer. The evidence is plastered all over the pages which are now loaded with more detail.
Brisinger was excellent and left me wanting more. The story begins with Eragon going off with his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran's beloved, Katrina, from King Galbatorix's clutches. The story has many twists and turns when Eragon and Saphira are once again faced with opponents more powerful then themselves. The reader finally gets to know about Aya's friend/lover and the events that occurred just before Eragon found her.
There will be a Major death, A BIG secret, the rise of a new dwarf King, the secret about a dragons power and the reader will get to know Eragon character and struggles like never before. With the Varden taking over city by city Galbatorix is not taking a blind eye to their presence anymore.
This book is a MUST read for anyone who has read the previous Eragon books.
Book Review: "Brisingr" By Christopher Paolini
Summary: 5 Stars
Brisingr which is the third book in the now Inheritance Cycle is a very good read it's better then the previous two books by far in my opinion, and it shows that Paolini is maturing as a writer.
Brisingr starts off a few days after "Eldest" left off with Eragon, Roran, and Saphria in Helgrind searching for Katrina who has been held prisoner. Here we can see that Eragons skills have improved both as a Dragon Rider and a magician testing his skills. The book starts out at this point and although im might drag at times in certain places it still has a fast pase most of the time. In Brisingr Eragon will have many things to do including finding a new weapon sense Zar'roc has been taken my Murtagh, he will also have to oversee the Dwarf election for a new king and try to reach the ultimate goal of defeating the evil king Galbatorix once and for all.
All in all Paolini crafts a wonderful third book that is sure now to disappoint if you have like the previous "Eragon" and "Eldest" and as stated earlier it dose drag along in some places but is a very enjoyable read in all. 5/5
Book Review: Another great one from Paolini
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking so forward to this book. I was so worried that it would let me down, as some authors do...ya know, when 1 or 2 books in a series are really good and then they go and write another one that just doesn't 'do it' for you. You all know what I am talking about.
I reread Eragon and Eldest right before this one came in the mail, so that I could follow it better, even though I had read them already before. I wanted them to be fresh in my mind. As I opened the book, I was ready for disappointment...but I did NOT get disappointed AT ALL! This was just as good as his other 2, if not better. True there wasn't much 'action' until the last third of the book. But to have a good book, you must have other stuff. It explained a lot that I had had questions with during the first couple books. It was awesome. I was actually sad when it ended, thinking about how long it's going to be until the next one comes out. I definitely recommend this book to all that read the other 2 and I recommend the whole cycle to anyone who likes fantasy.
Book Review: Couldn't Put it Down
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't agree with the overly harsh critics who've nitpicked the book to death. I loved it! It was a great read, exciting and enthralling from beginning to end. I couldn't put the book down until I'd read the last page and it left me wanting more. What more can you ask of a great story? I am already impatient for the next book, and who cares if there are 4 instead of 3? More fun for us. It is a great adventure and I (unlike others) am not eager for it all to end. I look forward to the next book.
My only problems with the book, and they are minor, is that yes the opening sequence is pretty repulsive, didn't care for that. And secondly, I didn't like it that Eragon never checked on Elaine and tried to heal her or alleviate her discomfort. They mentioned several times how miserable she was and how dangerous her pregnancy was, but he just never got around to it and that bugged me.
Those two points aside, this is a great book. Buy it, Read it! You'll enjoy it and will be looking forward to the next one like I am.
Book Review: The "Inheritance Cycle" is coming to a close.
Summary: 5 Stars
Another wonderfully-woven tale of the land of Alagaesia from Christopher Paolini. Eragon's character is given much more depth and purpose, as is Roran's, and we are given much more information on the history of the Dragon Riders, specifically Brom, Morzan and Galbatorix. Spahira's character is fleshed out further and we are given a greater insight into the bond between Dragon and Rider. A hero's quest continues, his own past and destiny questioned, and edging ever closer is the inevitable confrontation with the evil Galbatorix. Paolini has done an absolutely wonderful job with this series thus far and I almost cannot wait for the final entry, though I am sad to see the series ending. I highly recommend this book as well as its two predecessors, "Eragon" and "Eldest", for fantasy and adenture fans; you won't be disappointed. Paolini is a storyteller the likes of which does not come along but once, maybe twice, in a single generation, and not a word of his is to be cast aside.
