 Amazing read! September 27, 2008

Well having had to wait for two years for this book after reading eragon and eldest i was certainly not dissapointed.
The story paolini weaves is as addictive as normal and he slings you right into the story making it hard to put the book down at all. Many a day i went into work bleary eye'd after reading into the early hours of the morning. Alot is revealed in this book which will have readers gasp and stare in wonder! it certainly had me doing that!
It was great to have another insight into the world of eragon and Alagaesia.
The only thing i can complain about is that I was a little peeved that now i have to wait for yet another book but i cant complain as it means even more on the whole story. I think this book is a bit of a 'filler' really, the series could have been brought to a finish with this third book but instead he's decided to give us a more indepth look at some of the other main characters.
On a whole i loved the book, my only gripe being that now i have to wait longer to see what the outcome is! lol. grrr. Paolini certainly knows how to leave a reader sitting on the edge of their seats!

FEAR NOT! Let joy fill your hearts. In Brisingr then gone is the boring tedium of Eldest. Gone is some of the predictability. True is a long book but I was glad of that fact. It meant the pleasure i got from reading it lasted much longer. The pacing is just right I'd say. Although still very wordy in places just when your starting to think I need a death you get a terrific action sequence. Buy this book. Please.
really good...but September 24, 2008

this was just as good a book as eldest, if not quite a match for the first and best volume of this trilogy. this book should meet all expectations as to character development and interest. however, i have to agree with some other reviewers who have commented that this book is longer than necessary. there are indeed large sections, such as the appointment of the dwarf king, which have far too much importance within the novel, and far too much time devoted to them. as a reader you knew all along that the chosen candidate would be crowned, and this unneccesary conflict within the book was tedious. what this book needed was a really good editor! however that does not make this book a bad one, on the contrary i would highly recommend it to lovers of fantasy fiction, and of the previous two books. i look forward to the next one, and can only hope that the gap between the two books is not as large as the previous one!
Loved. It. October 6, 2008

Better than the first two put together (and bigger, too!)- it was a great break from my Uni studies and I wasn't disappointed! Paolini is certainly becoming a better writer as the series progresses; I think ending the trilogy here would have been a bit rushed- Brisingr allows Eragon to develop as a person and a Rider, and the result doesn't feel as if everything is being crammed in before the inevitable final conflict. Instead we have the continuing adventures of Eragon and Saphira as they mature and struggle to find Galbatorix's weakness (yes, he has one ^^)- there's enough revelations and action in this to satisfy any Inheritance Cycle fan.
And to those moaning about extensions for commercial reasons, etc... WE GET ANOTHER BOOK AFTER THIS!!! YAY!!!
Recommended 100% ;D

I loved this book but i have to say i do wish it was abit more fast paced. I absolutely loved the last 2 books and was eagerly awaiting Brisingr. It was enjoyable but didn't keep me on the edge of my seat as much as the first two. All said i am now eagerly the next and last book and really hope it doesn't take too long!! In all an enjoyable read and if you,ve read the first 2,buy it now.
