Summary

Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and Saphira narrowly escaped with their lives. But more awaits the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by promises he may not be able to keep, including his oath to cousin Roran to help rescue his beloved Katrina. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes, Eragon must make choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

Conflict, action, adventure and one devastating death await listeners as Eragon battles on behalf of the Varden while Galbatorix ruthlessly attempts to crush and twist him to his own purposes. Can he become a leader who can unite the rebel forces and defeat the King?

the best book ever read (after the 1 and 2)

It was brilliant you just want him to continue writing and to think that he wrote the first book when he was 16 it's incredible. If you've read or seen lord of the rings eragon is about the same but with more magic in the story and bit less wars.

Amazing but read the first two first

Read the first two first or you will have no idea what is going on.
Gerrald Doyle is brilliant at voicing all the characters making them consistent in pitch and tone to his voices from the other two books.
=D
Loved it!

Good attempt

As with the others, the reader is treated as a little simple, and all the dragons sound like Daleks. Love the way the more slow characters have West Country accents...

Not Split into individual Chapters like the previous book.

The chapters are combined into 1 hour 15 mins sections, which makes it a bit more confusing. Everything else is 10/10

Nice!

I’m not surprised that such a long book could have so much detail, but this book, THIS book has been a new era of my life now. I can’t believe that Christopher Paolini or whoever made up the Elves language, Dwarves language and even an Urgal language!

Nostalgic book with a filler sense to it

I read this book when it came out, after years of waiting it felt slow and wordy. I have been listening the the Circle, those feelings came back but x2.00 save me from the most unnecessary chapters.

Chapters editing need urgent rework, end/begins don't match, making hard to routing it.

Off to the next!

chapters

The chapters are not broken into the chapters but into 1hr 15mins intervals which if only wanting to listen to a chapter or skip to a chapter makes it harder
