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.

Loved!!!

Great storyline, great characters, surprising twists and ending. I highly enjoyed listening to this book. Also, a great voice for telling the story!

Enjoyment

I can listen to this series over and over again. I've read, and listend to, each book countless times, and own a physical, digital, and audio version of them all (as well as each of Paolini's other books about Alegasia). I can't wait until the fifth book in this realm.

satisfied

Usually I'm disappointed or begging for more at the end of a book/story/series; with this book however, Christopher crossed the T's and dotted the i's. I'd be glad to know more but I'm not too heartbroken. he's left it open enough the story could easily continue, but no major cliffhangers.

great book series!

great fun. my kids had read these when they were in high school so I feel behind the times but better late than never.

I Want more...

It's a good book that ties up things well. I do want to continue on with the story and will be glad when he finishes another book in this series.

Awesome until the end.

The very end sucked major ass.

the very end sucked major ass.

Ripping good time!

Would you consider the audio edition of Inheritance to be better than the print version?

Yes, Gerard Doyle does a fantastic job narrating!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Saphira because she's a dragon and Angela because she comical, mysterious and more powerful than expected.

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

Fantastic job of acting out each character.

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

Several - when Saphira was young, when Eragon began to learn the discipline of the elves and when Eragon made Brisingr.

Any additional comments?

Another epic, bound to be a classic like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter. Am astonished at how such a young man could develop such an in depth world.

Bitter Sweet and Beautiful

This was a beautiful ending to a wonderful story. I adored it! This series helped me get through long art classes by allowing me to escape during monotonous still life paintings. Also perfect for long drives to keep your mind entertained with a fantastical world full of beautifully written characters.

I was uncertain starting this series at first, but I don't regret it at all. I recommend tissues for the ending.

GREAT!!!!

whats with all the hate? This book was amazing i couldn't think of any way it could've ended better.

Great finish

This is the best book by far of the series closure throughout the book, put a lot of pieces together
