Summary

Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and Saphira narrowly escaped with their lives. But more awaits the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by promises he may not be able to keep, including his oath to cousin Roran to help rescue his beloved Katrina. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes, Eragon must make choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

Conflict, action, adventure and one devastating death await listeners as Eragon battles on behalf of the Varden while Galbatorix ruthlessly attempts to crush and twist him to his own purposes. Can he become a leader who can unite the rebel forces and defeat the King?

Fantastic - cannot wait for Inheritance!

Really struggle with critiques of Paolini and the Inheritance Cycle. To say the story is generic is utterly ridiculous. Of course, like every other bit of fantasy fiction - it takes inspiration from the likes of the Lord of the Rings, but Paolini and Gerrard Doyle have an uncanny way of making you feel as if you're on Eragon and Sapphira's journey.

A bit long but great

Very enjoyable, although some of the book could do with being much less detailed. The dwarf section is immensely tedious. The characters and plot twists are rip offs of other films and books from geekdom, but the overall story arc is well written. Roran's story was very enjoyable, but peaked with a ridiculous scenario that weakened the plausibility of his human, normal limits. The narrator is easy to listen to and the accents of the characters and races much easier on the ear than other books in the series I have listened to.

chapters

The chapters are not broken into the chapters but into 1hr 15mins intervals which if only wanting to listen to a chapter or skip to a chapter makes it harder
