Coleção Aventuras Encantadas A saga do Cavaleiro e do dragão está próxima do fim, mas ainda é preciso unir as forças rebeldes. E a sabedoria será sua maior arma neste caminho. Apenas alguns meses atrás, Eragon usou pela primeira vez "brisingr", o termo na língua antiga para fogo. Desde então, aprendeu a fazer magia com palavras e passou por várias provações. Ele e Saphira escaparam vivos por pouco da colossal batalha contra os soldados do Império na Campina Ardente. Há, no entanto, mais desafios no caminho do Cavaleiro e do dragão, pois Eragon se vê envolvido em uma rede de promessas que talvez não seja capaz de cumprir. Ajudar o primo Roran a resgatar sua amada Katrina do cativeiro imposto pelo rei Galbatorix é somente uma delas. Eragon ainda jura sua lealdade aos Varden - que necessitam urgentemente de suas habilidades e força -, aos elfos e aos anões. Quando a guerra iminente insufla os rebeldes e o perigo surge de todos os lados, o Cavaleiro precisa fazer escolhas que podem levá-lo a um sacrifício inimaginável. Eragon é a maior esperança para libertar a Alagaësia da tirania. Será que esse jovem fazendeiro conseguirá unir as forças rebeldes e derrotar o rei? Terceiro volume do Ciclo A Herança, Brisingr é um livro emocionante e crucial para a trajetória do jovem Eragon em sua jornada pelo fantástico reino da Alagaësia.

once again i lost the hold on this and that’s why the reading duration on this is so long.

man i don’t even know what to say except i’m happy it’s finished. i’m not gonna lie and say this book was completely devoid of anything interesting. there are entertaining parts. problem is that those parts are in between deserts of overly long winded… nothing. i’m not even sure what word to use. i find it impressive how the book can go on and on and somehow say nothing. would listen to hour long chapters and come out with a single sentence of events that happened. eragon did this. and that’s all i can say. i really don’t think that bodes well.

also just the backtracking is painful. dude totally realized how flat his past books were in some areas and decided to pretend things happened in those books that didn’t so that the current book wouldn’t have the same issues. you can’t just say “oh yeah and uhh eragon has always had this personality trait” when he literally never did before you just said that sentence awkwardly stating that he had that trait. there are ways to fix past bad writing and that’s the absolute worst approach.

anyway, i’m still gonna read the last book. might just need a break. i’ve made it too far to stop now. ( )

This book was not a bad entry in the series, but because of its nature, was not as interesting as the Eldest. It has a strong middle-book syndrome. As the series was originally supposed to be a trilogy, this book contains a lot of the less interesting storylines that needed to be tied up before the final book. That doesn't mean there aren't any important moments, it's just not as full of action.

I enjoyed some of its contemplative mood. For example, in the beginning, there is a conversation about how the fighting is impacting Eragon and how he deals with killing so many people. It was an important character-humanizing moment. Also, it shows Safira properly as not being just a human in dragon form. ( )

I wasn't as captivated by this one as I was with the first two. I went days without picking it up (which is unusual for me) and I felt like there was a lot of unecessary information (i.e. I didn't need to know what Roran and Katrina were doing when Safira popped in to say hi). I did like the direction it took though and I am still looking forward to reading the next one! ( )

Brisingr—the third book in the Inheritance series—is a well-written fantasy that continues the struggle for freedom as the Rider, Eragon, and his dragon, Saphira, fight the powerful Galbatrorix and his armies. This book has multiple bloody battles as the Urgals and the elves join the Varden, Roran, Nasuada, and King Orrin in defending the Empire. Magic spells, healing wards, and supernatural occurrences abound in this evil vs. good epic young adult adventure. Over 700 pages, this book requires a considerable commitment. However, I found the story entertaining and the time well spent. ( )

700 something pages later and I'm not really sure the story advanced much. Yes, things happened. But not 700 pages worth. I read up to this point because owned the books. If Inheritance is under the Christmas tree I will read, if I find a B&N gift card I will not choose the last installment. Story is great, there are just toooooo many words. ( )

I read this book without having read the other books in the series. I didn't finish it. I really didn't like it. I'm not sure exactly what I hated about it, but I'll try to explain.
It was overly long with very little happening.
There was too much bad description. I usually like description, but only when it's done well, and this wasn't.
The characters were boring. They were the usual cliche fantasy characters and they weren't even written well. I hated the portrayal of female characters. The author tried to make them strong, but failed.
The world building was bad and unoriginal. It was the usual high fantasy world with magic, elves, dwarves and dragons. I don't mind if it's presented well, but this wasn't.
I didn't like the tone or the writing style. For me this is important. It's partly a combination of the other things, but for this book I think it needs its own point. It was flat and boring and for some reason just annoyed me.
This book had nothing interesting or relatable for me. Nothing caught my interest or struck me as particularly original. It was poorly executed and it bored me. Reading this actually made me feel really bad and ruined the Lord of the Rings and most high fantasy for me for a few months. ( )

Paolini finally balances the most interesting aspects of the series, notably the dragon-rider relations and the mystique of the magic of the ancient language, as well as the cultures of the world and the plot. Many of these things were built up in the first book, but terribly balanced to the point of forgetting certain aspects in the second. Brisingr is overstuffed, but does justice to the series. ( )

Wow, this is not getting better. I really thought by now Paolini would have turned into a half-decent writer but he's still no better than when he was 15 or 17 or whatever the fuck he was when he wrote that first one. I don't care.

There are so many things that bother me about this book/this series but at the moment it's still THAT NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. This book was 700 fucking pages long AND NOTHING HAPPENED. Or, like, four things happened, which is way too little for that many pages!!! At one point, not even half-way through, they explain what Eragon is gonna do FOR THE REST OF THE BOOK and as I realized that I had just had everything that was gonna happened laid out in front of me I think I finally saw the face of the god and it changed my life. It was a terrible god and it is a terrible life.

Then everything happened as the plot had been laid out by the characters with an end fight tacked onto in the last fifty pages because OF COURSE we need to end the book with that.

Next, what really bothers me, is that Eragon (and sometimes Saphira) is a genuinly BAD person. I guess Roran is too. They kill people, constantly, and never really regrets it (or occassionally Eragon cries a bit about it but that never comes through when it matters). The book starts out with Eragon letting a bunch of slaves die just so he and Roran can save Roran's girlfriend. Fuck those poor innocent slaves, Roran needs to have sex. THEN Eragon decides not to mention that the girlfriend's mean father was alive and captured as well, but LIES to Roran and Katrina and tells them he's dead because otherwise .... I don't know why he lies? Somethig about the father otherwise being hanged for his actions which would break up Roran and Katrina so lying is better? WHAT THE!? What gives you the right to decide that, Eragon!? Then he goes on and literally removes the man's free will, by in a contrived way figuring out his true name, and sends him off on his way to live out his life like Eragon has decided.

AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING. Every time Eragon doesn't get his way he threatens violence or his magical powers or Saphira to get his way, and the other characters are ALWAYS on his side, always saying he did the right thing because sometimes you gotta make hard decisions. Yeah, but you don't have to be a fucking dick about it? Honestly, if he is a prime example of dragon rider the I do not want them to be in charge or restored because they seem to be awful, elitistic people who will bully anyone to get their way.

If this was building up to Eragon turning out to be the bad guy and Galbatorix being a better ruler of the country it might be saved in the last book, but it won't happen. Everything in the series so far has been entirely predictable (including the TWO reveals about Eragon's parentage), so I doubt there'll be that many shocks in the last book. Which, honestly, should not have been written, because the plot of all the books could've been squezed into one fast-paced novel in the hands of a more competent writer, but nooo, we gotta sit through entire chapter where people just talk or run or fly or whatever.

And the worst part is I've only got one book left, so now I have to finish this godawful series. FML. ( )

I've very much enjoyed listening to the audio books for this series with my 10 year old son. We'll be sad to finish the final book. ( )

The book continued to keep you drawn in to the plot and the characters. This book had some twist and turns. Some of the plot you could see some coming but others came totaly out of the blue. Kind of glad i picked up the books after the series was out so i can go right into book 4 with out waiting. ( )

It's fun to watch Paolini grow as a writer through this series. ( )

I just finished reading it again, having read it when it first was released. I still enjoyed it very much. classic high fantasy. appreciate how the author acknowledges the moral quandaries that accompany great power and prestige, without waxing philosophical for pages upon pages. A clean and entertaining read that I would recommend to boys 12-24. ( )

Paolini outdid himself again. He was wise to make it four books instead of three, for all of book four wouldn’t fit in it. Wise naming too. Well put. ( )

A bit slower than the previous book, but many things started to happen towards the end of the book. ( )

I decided to re-read The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini and I was pleased by how much I enjoyed it. I liked it more this time than I did the first time because I was able to skip some of the slower bits since I had read it before. I thoroughly enjoy the characters and I like how detailed a world Christopher Paolini has built but the story does definitely drag at points. I still loathe the way the series ends though. ( )

The further adventures of Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, as they continue to aid the Varden in the struggle against the evil King, Galbatorix.

There are many bad reviews for this book but I didn't think it was that bad. I enjoy these books for not making things easy for the main characters and this one went into detail about how gets from book 2 to the book 4 for which seems in line. But then maybe I am grading on a low scale to start with. ( )

I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler-free way. If you feel anything in my review is a spoiler and is not already hidden in spoiler brackets please let me know. Thank you.

So I have been listening to the audio of this book on and off for a long time now. I use to love this series, but it's just not holding up to my expectations anymore. It just feels like nothing but politics, never-ending talking and speeches, and long almost pointless battles. I am hoping the fourth book is better, but if nothing else, at least it will be the end.

I had the audio going twice as fast because this book is soooooo long. It wouldn't be so bad, but when the characters in this book talk, they make long-winded speeches every time. It's driving me insane.

I really wish I had more to say on the book, but I'm just glad it over, and only my former love of it is keeping me from rating it any lower. On the bright side, I haven't read the last book yet so I can finally see what the conclusion to this story is.

How I choose my rating:
1* Hated it. I had to force myself to finish it.
2** Didn't really like it. I didn't hate it but not sure why I finished it other than for some closure.
3*** I liked it. I had some issues with it, but as a whole it was good. I probably won't reread ever, but there is a chance I might finish the series. (If part of one) But if not it's not a huge loss.
4**** I really liked this book. Maybe not a work of genius, but highly entertaining. I might reread this, and I will finish the series. (If part of one) I would recommend to those I know hold interest in this book's content.
5***** I loved this book. I found little to no issues with it at all. I will definitely be rereading this and probably more than once. I will finish the series and reread it multiple times. (If part of one) I will recommend this book to EVERYONE!!!! ( )

Paolini is definitely improving with each novel he writes in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and I liked that we got a few new POVs during the course of this novel. With some of the POVs included in this book, it becomes even clearer how Paolini has given each character their own voice.

There were some parts of the book that made me uncomfortable, sometimes because a character's perspective seemed so much more violent than my own that it was hard to accept and sometimes because of descriptions of what the characters were enduring physically. However, I would still say these sections were well written and were in keeping with who the characters were and did add something to the story as a whole.

This book also had me laughing more than the previous books, but it is also the first in this series to make me cry. Though, that may not have happened if I hadn't been following the characters through their journey in the previous two books. And I don't think admitting that takes away from the achievement of creating that connection between reader and character that results in feeling a fictional character's emotions alongside them. ( )

I love the part where eragon makes brisingr. ( )

Better...I still find Rohan a little annoying. Am I the only one that thinks he's just a little over the top? There are a few things that are kind of dumb but it was much better than Eldest. ( )

This series was meant to have only three books but the final book had to be split into two because it became too large. I think everything that should have been cut from the final book just ended up here. Very little actually ever happens. Paolini was excited to just follow Eragon across this fictional world and spend time with the different cultures which were just knock-offs of Tolkien. The Ra'zac were easily killed off in the opening chapter, ending Eragon's entire original mission of revenge like it was a loose end. Roran is transformed into as something just as overpowered as Eragon with even less reason to be. The magic system is more and more convoluted. A shade shows up and dies within the same page. An entire chapter is devoted to forging a sword. So much disappointment in a book I waited so long for. ( )
