Brisingr, the third book in the Inheritance Series starts off with Eragon and Roran at Helgrind, the home of the Ra'zac, with Eragon and Roran about to attack Helgrind and attempt to defeat the Ra'zac and rescue Katrina. The story that follows is a very good one, although to me it seemed very different than the previous books at first; but later on in the book it became more Inheritanceish. (my congratulations to the first person to mention something in a conversation and call it Inheritanceish.) There was one chapter in the book in which more secrets are revealed than in (I'm pretty sure) any other chapter in the series so far, however, I can only tell you that it is late on in the book and that if I told you any of it you would skip ahead to it, if you have a copy of it, so I will not reveal anything of it.
WARNING SPOILER ALERT ABOUT ENDING AHEAD
The final battle (of this book) was not anything like I thought it would be, there was a shade created by three of Galbotorix's magicians (well I guess you could say two because one of them turned into a shade) and Eragon and Arya had to fight him. This shade, however, was much more powerful than Durza and posed quite a challenge to Eragon and Arya. I will reveal one more thing in this review and that's IT don't ask for more.
WARNING LAST SPOILER AHEAD
Oromis and Gleadr leave Du Weldenvarden. Enough said.
Closing Comments
Brisingr is a wonderful book and I highly recommend that you read it (if you haven't read Eragon and Eldest, read them first). Christopher Paolini has wrote an excellent series and I can't wait for book four.
Score
9.4 out of 10
