Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3)

By Christopher Paolini

 

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?

Love it!!!
This series is amazing, and “Eclipse” is no different. I had already read the book, I just wanted to get the special edition, and it was well worth it. Included is the first chapter of the fourth book, “Breaking Dawn,” the cover art for “Dawn,” and t-shirt iron-on decals. The series is awesome, so if you haven’t yet, give it a try!!! And see the movie out 12.12.08!!!

Oops – it’s in Spanish.
Uh, yeah. It was my mistake. I got it and was so excited. . .then I realized it was in Spanish. Totally my mistake – it was written in black & white right in the description. My excitement got the best of me. ;c)

Amazing for its flaws and perfection
I have read the whole series several times and I am not a teenage girl. There is something about Meyer’s writing that is entrancing. From reading reviews I see both sides, and agree that Bella leaves something to be desired, but not everyone is perfect. Would the story really have been great if all the characters were perfect in every way? Bella made this fiction real, brought it home to the average person.
I love the whole series, books 1 and 3 are my absolute favorites so far and I can barely stand the wait for the next books.
