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?

This is an excellent book. Can't wait for the next one. It is a little drawn out in places but that is how he writes so you can just skip over those parts. I really enjoy the more active roll the dragons are getting in this book.

Brisingr is a great improvement over the previous two books of this series. I stress the word series, because it seems as if Paolini is determined to stretch this out as long as he can.
The only reason I bought this book, is because I had already read the previous two, and assumed it was a trilogy. It isn't !!
Instead the short plot is dragged out across hundreds of pages, only to meet with a totally unsatisfactory end.
Buyers beware !
 Far too long of a book to say not much January 5, 2009
SciFi girl (MA United States)
I concur with many other reviewers - this book's story could easily have been completed within 100-200 pages. While we travel all over Alagaesia, we really don't move very far from where we started at the beginning of the book. While the publishers salivate about raking in more money on a fourth book, I find it really poor story telling.
