Publisher's summary

Audie Award Nominee, Best Teens Category, 2013

Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.

Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.

The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?

This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

Great final chapter

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Most certainly.. If you have read the first 3 you got to read (or listen to) this final chapter.

What does Gerard Doyle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

No one else could do justice to Sophia quite like Gerard.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Quite a few!

Any additional comments?

A must read (listen)

Its good but the end is a really big cliff hanger and it's sad I mean come.

You need to write another book that's good hey word good because some authors write a really good book and then write the worst book 2. I'm not saying that's you but it could be so please I love this book . 😫😩😂

An amazing end to an amazing series.

Paolini does his absolute best to strike a balance in between a happy ending and a tragic one.

What an ending!!!

Christopher Paolini has ended the inheritance cycle extremely well. However, without spoiling it for others, it was a melancholy ending. Definately the best book in the series yet, even though I was hooked from book one. I would reccomend this book and series to one and all. Additionally, Gerard Doyle does an excellent job as narrator for this series.

Nice ending to a great series

When this book first came out I read all of the reviews and actually listened to them, boy was that a mistake. I left the book on my wish list and figured it would stay there for the foreseeable future since the reviews had me scratching my head. I am so glad I did not remove it. As I write this review I think folks are going to read this and wonder just what is he on about or what makes him a worthwhile reviewer. To be honest I listen to books because I have Dyslexia and it is difficult for me to read for a long time, that and I lose myself in books. When I start the iPhone app (sorry for the plug) I do just that I lose myself in the stories and it is a great feeling. When I listened to this and the rest of the books I was transformed to Alagaësia. Funny thing was; I found myself thinking about the story when I wasn’t listening and thinking just how is Paolini going to play everything out.

To take time to write a review is a big deal for me and to write one for this book was important especially because of the negative one’s I saw when the book first came out in 2011. The bottom line is that this book was well worth your time and I do feel if you have listened to the first three than you are going to see this is a great ending to this series. If you have not read the first three I would suggest investing in those books and enjoy the adventure that Eragon, Saphira and the rest will take you on. Alagaësia is a wonderful place to get lost in for a few hours at least.
