DIGITAL DOWNLOAD EXCLUSIVE: CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI AUTHOR INTERVIEW INCLUDED AT THE END OF RECORDING!

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.

Any additional comments?

Mr. Doyle is a fabulous narrator but he fell way short on this one. His voices, which have held true through every other book changed in this one. orik and nar gargvag were so much alike I confused them at one point. It is like a fly buzzing in my ear at times. Elva is another one that is just obnoxious. These are nit picky complaints and don't ruin the whole thing for me but do make it difficult. overall I love this book I read it first and only just got it on audible so I knew what I was getting into before I bought it. It does get long winded at times.

Not a fan of the narration

Any additional comments?

I felt like the narration exacerbated some of the over the top dialogue. Reading the novels it is easy to lose yourself in the emotion of the events and understand the anger and desperation. Somehow, hearing it read aloud just makes it seem absurd and took me out of the story.

excellent and most enjoyable

This is a fantastic series for anyone who enjoys fantasy, and you would be hard-pressed to find a better series of books.

such a good series.

so many tears, laughter, anger, and joy. so many emotions, and very well presented. the ending was not rushed, ignore the haters.

An absolutely awesome conclusion

Inheritance is an absolute awesome conclusion to an incredible series. Narrated by Gerard Doyle, the story takes us all the way Galbatorix's castle where Eragon, Saphira, Fantastic, Shruikan, Murtagh and Thorn have an incredible confrontation which will leave the world of Alagaesia spellbound.
