Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

Brisingr (Inheritance Cycle, #3)

by Christopher Paolini

Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and Saphira narrowly escaped with their lives. But, more awaits the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by promises he may not be able to keep, including his oath to cousin Roran to help rescue his beloved Katrina. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes, Eragon must make choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice. Conflict, action, adventure and one devastating death await readers as Eragon battles on behalf of the Varden while Galbatorix ruthlessly attempts to crush and twist him to his own purposes. Can he become a leader who can unite the rebel forces and defeat the King?

I was so excited when this book came out because I have loved this series for a long time. I would personally put this series on the same level as some of my other favorites such as Harry Potter. I was so happy when I found out that there would be a fourth book rather than ending here as originally planned. It is really a wonderful series with such a vivid world. I enjoy the background, history, and extra tidbits that make it feel like a fully functional world rather than a fictional story.
