Synopsis

Don’t miss the eagerly anticipated epic new fantasy from Christopher Paolini—Murtagh!

The Empire is at war and the stakes have never been higher in Book Three of the Inheritance Cycle, perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings! This New York Times bestselling series has sold over 40 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation. 

"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." —The Washington Post

Oaths sworn . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide... 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? Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still, there is more adventure 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.

When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices-choices that will take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

I really enjoyed Eragon, and liked Eldest alright, though it was definitely a slower read than Eragon, so I thought I would see how this series ended.

Goodreads review by Lauren on September 24, 2008

So, I was a little disappointed with this third installment of Paolini's Inheritance "Cycle" now - since he changed the game and made this a 4 book series instead of 3, as it was originally intended. The story was good and what I have come to expect from this series. But honestly, it did not have to......more

Goodreads review by Min on August 28, 2016

I'm sure I'll get hate comments for this rating. But I just was bogged down by Paolini's formal and dry descriptive text. Maybe I'm just too far removed from the other books these years later. I really liked the first two, I just couldn't get into this one. I feel like the story just sort of meander......more

Goodreads review by Charlotte on March 13, 2017

Whilst I've been going through the Inheritance Series I must admit I've struggled and have thought about putting them down on more than one occasion. However as I've pushed myself through i'm so glad that I did - the world that Paolini has created is absolutely incredible, I feel transported to a wor......more
