Overview: Eragon's action packed adventure continues in the third book of the series. Will Roran be able to rescue Katrina? Who will be the next dwarf queen? Will the Varden finally destroy Galbatorix? Find out in the latest installment of the Inheritance series. This book will appeal to guys who like fantasy and readers who are already a fan of the series.
Review: I really liked the first book in the series and felt luke warm about the second installment which I felt was to long and was in need of some serious editing. This book suffers from similar problems. Paolini leaves no stone unturned which is a double edged stone. You find out every little detail about every thing in the book which can get tiresome. It started with a bang and ended the same way with a lot of boring uneventless pages in between. That being said I did read the whole thing and while I was frustrated at times I'm glad I read it and will continue on and read the 4th book. It has a very interesting concept and original ideas which I think make it worth trudging through some unneeded filler.
Fans of the series won't be disappointed while readers who were dissatisfied with the previous books should probably leave this one on the shelf. There is some nice character development and we see a lot more of Roran and Katrina in this book which I think were the most interesting bits of the whole series. It didn't wow me but overall it was an improvement from Eldest but a step down from Eragon. Worth your time if you've stuck with the series so far.
