Book Wyrm Review of Brisingr by Christopher Paolini


Brisingr is the third book in the inheritance series. Although Eragon and his dragon Saphira barely survived the massive battle in the Burning Plains, there is no rest for the wary Rider and his dragon. Eragon finds that he is entangled in a sticky web of promises which he may not be able to keep. He has promised his brother Roran that he would save his beloved from the clutches of lord Galbatorix, but that would mean almost certain death for him, and if he dies the Varden will surly fall. With the rebel soldiers on edge and foes behind every corner, Eragon will have to make choices that may lead to an unimagined sacrifice.

This new book in the inheritance series was full of twists, turns and enemies behind every corner, but once again the author sometimes allows the story to drag. Although it does not drag as much as Eldest the second book in the series, it is still a problem that will cause some readers to put the book down. So, if you don't mind the occasional change of pace, I recommend this book for those who love adventure, magic, and War.
