Hey, guys!
I know you've been waiting for this, so here's the review for the third installment of The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini: Brisingr.
Also, for those who have not yet read Eragon or Eldest: spoiler alert.
As a farmer turned Dragon Rider, Eragon is a pretty popular guy right now . . . he's also pretty infamous. To the Varden that is desperately trying to rebel against the tyrannical King Galbatorix, Eragon is their only hope of victory.
Galbatorix sees Eragon is a threat that must be disposed of. Although Galbatorix is also a dragon rider, he has exploited this sacred bond for his own gain and plot of revenge against those who killed his original dragon.
To Galbatorix's knowledge, Eragon and Saphira are the only Dragon and Rider not under his control. But despite the existence of a much older and wiser Dragon and Rider pair, Eragon and Saphira are the only ones who stand a chance against the evil king.
According to Roran, his cousin Eragon is the only one who can help save his bride-to-be, Katrina, from the horrible Ra'zac and the rest of their village from Empire soldiers.
Arya the elf princess, however, sees Eragon as a young, inexperienced underdog in puppy love with her. As an elf who has lived several years and seen so much more of the world, how could she take his affection seriously?
In fact, how can anybody take Eragon seriously? Because, in truth, Eragon is a young and inexperienced underdog who still has much to learn before he has any hope of standing a chance against Galbatorix.
But time is running out. The Varden and the Empire cannot remain at war forever and Galbatorix, though immortal, cannot hunt Eragon for the rest of time. Something has to give and something needs to happen soon. But with all these promises he's making, Eragon practically has his hands tied no matter what he tries to do.
How can Eragon maintain all these loyalties while continuing his training to defeat Galbatorix? He's just recently grown into manhood and still has much to see of the kingdom and much to learn. Will this underdog win the war?
Find out for yourself.
I said it before, but I was not really into the first book of the series (possibly because of my age). The more I read of this series, however, the more interested I become. Let me say right now that Brisingr is a long book . . . really long. But the action paced throughout the book kept those pages turning.
I would recommend this for high school or college level readers, especially fantasy fanatics. Dragons, old-time kingdoms, evil kings, sword fighting, a magical ancient language, dwarves, elves . . . this book has something for every nerd, if you ask me.
Definitely give this book (and the rest of the series) a try if it interests you. Until next time.
Happy reading!!
