As a fan of the first two installments in this Christopher Paolini series, I was eager to continue the story of Eragon and Saphira. They set off immediately to help Roran save his betrothed, Katrina, who was taken away by the nasty Lethblarka and their foul spawn. The tale involves multiple battles, fights, and skirmishes. Eragon seeks a weapon now that Zarroc has been claimed by Murtagh. Eragon still faces the question of his lineage and what it says about his character. He finds out the truth, and it's not what you think. Eragon and Saphira return to their mentors and find out information that may turn the tides for the Varden.
I enjoyed the book. The action moved through the plot with admirable speed. Eragon remains my favorite character. His adventures in the Dwarven realm delighted me with lore from that interesting race. My absolute favorite moment occurs between Eragon and the elves as he seeks to find a weapon worthy of a rider, and I was awed in a chapter of beauty, creativity, and artistry.
The loss of a wonderful character left me saddened and sympathetic. I wish it could have been different. If you love adventure sagas, character growth, and plenty of fight sequences, this is the book for you
