I agree with most of what you said. I did not like how long and detailed it took to make Eragons new sword. I also thought that during the battle with the empire Eragon was not much stronger than before the Blood Oath celebration. Bowing in defeat to Murtag was very disappointing as if his training was for nothing. He had more training than Murtag but Murtag proves stronger with the hint of dark magic backing him. Him killing Oramir was a HUGE let down the way Murtag did it.
@CrappyIce Im looking forward to it ... So what do you think is going to happen in book 4? I figure Eragon will face off Galbatorix but I wonder if Angela the herblist prediction of him leaving Alagasia will come true now? I bet though there will be a book 5 to fully finish this book out.
that wasnt how the book ended at all. they had to siege the city and a magor thing happens!!!!!!! and eragon figures out somthing really important!!! read the book
i highly disagree with you. u and the rest who hate it were looking for a book that would like redefine literature, well-lol-ur lookin in the wrong place. also should've(assuming u havent') done research and have known especially if u were fan of series that this was only half of what paolini imagined for the third book, but got too long then he orgianlly intended and i he even said it in an interview that he came to prob with eragon so had to add 100pg to deal with character dont know. speculat
I agree, Brisingr was boring. It was just people doing stuff. We never felt any threat since Galby is almost nonexistent. The ending was just terrible. He could of finished off his books with this if he cut out all the boring parts.
Brisingr is, in my opinion, the best of the 3 books to date. Most action, Eldest was all talk. And Eragon was great, being the first book, but I like the complexity of the third book.
I liked the book. But I agree with some of the points you made. I think some parts were boring. And the scene with the sword could have been cut down, and I know he was trying to bring a sort of myth and magic about how the elves make the swords...your just making a sword. I liked it, but not as much as Eldest, which is the best so far.
this was going to be 1 book and for some reason he split it up i understand what you are saying but i liked a lot of the character stuff between arya & eragon and i liked finally hearing Galbatorix speak but you are right the ending is abrupt but the is because that was not supose to be the ending and i think he just did not know how to do it right
i am so fucking pissed that i will be forced another few agonizing years before i am able to ind my suffering and discover the events that will take place in the fourth book of the inheritance to arrive in my hands
I read eldest and eragon. thinking about Brisngr but not sure I mean it would be nice to know if eragon and roran actually kill the razac. Im not sure weather to get the book. I mean I can just get it at a school libeary without paying a cent.
but should I at least check out Brisngr to see if I like it?
I just started my first year of high school, and after reading the boring book eragon, I knew there was no way I could read the others. So I went to a book store, opened up brisingr,and read the synopsis for eldest and read the first and last chapters of brisingr. It was horrible. Fans might think that paolini made brisinger have a bad ending on purpose so EVERYONE would want to read the last book. Kinda like pirates of the carribean 2, but more pathetic. I for one would not read it-waste o time
@Daikirai432 Well, I doubt you'll like brisingr. But don't be unwise and buy the book, you may regret it. But check it out if you need some reading material to pass the time.
@alvarez73726 oh I got the book from a libary. I only read 44 pages and already I know for a fact the other two books where better. Im at the part where the razac parents are attacking saphria. it has some good old action I can say that at least
@alvarez73726 acually, I loved Brisingr. If she liked eragon and eldest, she'll probably like brisingr. And I'm not saying youre a bad person, or an a**. im just saying i liked the book.
@alvarez73726 hey, it's been a while since i last chatted with you. i presume you are busy as ever writing the nevarian. anyway, i need some advice. i'm writing a story but i don't know if i should cut out a minor character,.anyway, i've only finished a third of my book and i don't know if i should just skip to the middle and write it from there. what should i do?
It does have similar refrences to star wars but its not just star wars. his father is not the enemy. his brother becomes the enemy, that doesnt happen in star wars. the plot of boy fights empire with rebels is what everyone thinks and just goes ohh its star wars. and its mostly a background and set up for book 4. and the whole stared at sun comment you definitely took from astonok review of brisingr. but w/e have a great day
yeah a lot of series have ideas and plot lines heavily influenced from other series and like i said besides eragon and varden vs empire. its really the only solid relationship. any comparison for other characters to those in star wars is a strech. but yeah i do see the arguement and people try to compare eragon to so many series and just says its all stolen but. its a damn good fucking season
in book three there are four different story arcs that all happen at different times. saphira leaves eragon, rather she has to. roran's story is told seperately from eragons and nasuadas story, which i thought was long and unecessary is also told seperately.
whos the drag in eldest cover and brisingr? i only saw eragon movie and reading eragon eldest seems okay......plz explain to me eldest er brisingr w/e in summery my ahh speakers suk....i cant really hear you even with computer like 1 inch away from me...
eldest starts out with eragon heading to ellesmera to continue his training with the elves and soon after meets gladaer who is sort of like the yoda of the inheritance cycle. basically the whole book is about eragon training and roran whos story is told in adifferent arc than eragons. basically all the characters somehow meet up in the burning plains and fight a huge battle and ereagon then meets another rider on a red dragon who is revealed to be murtagh. long story short they win. the end.
Tolkien didn't "leap frog" as much as Paolini... Tolkien separated the arcs out into large sections and when the movie was made they had to work to arrange the parts into a chronological order. Paolini just seems to decide to jump to what another character is doing too suddenly. I was reading Roran and just getting into it then suddenly the nest section is about Eragon, it's really annoying sometimes.
Its only annoying if its a story arc that i dont care about that jumps away from some climactic point like when Glaedr was first introduced then it jumps somewhere else. But i like the eragon series overall. :D
although the books are very good, he bases the storyline too much on star wars
he should not have done loads from saphiras point of view, it didnt work. plus, the whole section with the dwarves was bullshit. the story could have been told in 500 pages, but it has to be 750!
It was only when eragon went to ellesmerea that i finally got into the story, and when he made the sword i nearly fell asleep.ill buy the nxt 1 though, as i lved the ending
Yeah Ooploon, your exactly right. Eragon is star wars. It has the same plotline and same characters. I just don't know how people can't see the difference.
ur right ooplon. the first 2 books are exactly the same to the 1st 2 star wars movies
orphan boy, lives with uncle, becomes a dragon rider, goes around with the last of the dragon riders who is an old, wise man, uncle is killed by the empire, brom and eragon set out to destroy empire join rebel group fight a battle that rebels barely win, and in book 2, he gets trained by the LAST LAST of the dragon riders (yoda) and finds out he is the Kings most loyal servant's son!
it was the best, hands down. eragon defeated Murtagh. and he got a bad ass sword. in eldest, it was still an amazing book, but the ending was too predictable.
in brisingr, iot actually made my heart pound with anticipation. i liked how the characters had thier own little saga. i liked the part where roran slayed the 200 soldiers.
in eldest, the end battle with thorn and sahira was great, but Brisingr beat it by far.
Yeah, I see your point. But I just thought it was a little bit too unrealistic. I mean c'mon One teenager killing 200 men single handedly. Don't get me wrong, I like where the story takes you, I just feel that it flatlines in the middle. Although I really like how Paolini writes, but it just didn't work for me.
Remember, Brisingr wasn't even meant to exist thus it doesn't flow correctly. The climax of the book wasn't actually even meant to be the true climax.
Oromis and Glaedr dying was the climax. Or Arya killing Varaug. Not Eragon forging Brisingr
