Brisingr is more focused on politics and war strategies in comparison to the first two books. These are my favourite aspects in books, so I enjoyed it a lot more than the second book. Its pacing and action sequences together with politics, worldbuilding and learning about magic are similar to the first book, therefore, the story feels more balanced and engaging. The new plot twists were unexpected and the ending almost made me cry. This book made it definitely worth it to read the series and I'm excited to read the finale!
