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. ( )

Book description
Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still there is more at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep. First is Eragon's oath to his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran's beloved, Katrina, from King Galbatorix's clutches. But Eragon owes his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his talents and strength-as are the elves and dwarves. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices-choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice. Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once-simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king?
