Reading level/ Type: Young Adult / Fantasy Reccomended for established fans of the series, but everyone else should probably read the rest of the books to avoid hours of head scratching. Overall, the series offers a few CRAZYAWESOME plot twists, though little along the lines of character development. Arya is still the love interest, Saphira is still the wise ol' gal, and all the roles are basically the same as in the previous books except for Nasuado, who takes her father's place as the ruler of the Varden. Murtagh returns as the anti-hero of sorts, as Eragon still seems to believe he can talk some reason into his brother. Eragon and his dragin, Saphira, continue to their journey to defeat the eeeeevvviiiilll King Glabatorix and his tight reign over Algaesia. It's a bit sluggish, but once you get in a couple hundred pages, things start to speed up. However, Brisingr will not terribley dissapoint fans of the Inheritance series. He could have cut down at least four hundred pages of unnecessary landscaping, dialogue and strange, unrelated events that do nothing for the plot.
I remember staring at the third page, thinking, "Okay.the mountains are pretty.we get it." I really wish Paolini could get to the point. It was a whopping 700 or so pages, most of which filled with large, small-printed paragraphs describing the mountains of Alegaesia. I admit, when I got my pre-order of Brisingr in the mail, I was daunted. Christopher Paolini reminds me a bit of Stephan King-as his books get more and more successful, he feels the need to add more and more uneccesary description.
