Brisingr is the thrid book in the inheritance trilogy. It is written by Chritopher Paolini. His books are fiction, Containing a lot of adveture and fantasy. I choose this book specifically for the reason his other books were excellent. The reason that his books hold my attnetion is that they contain a very well balanced style. Many books have either too much action, too much romance, or just are repetitive. his sstyle allows for all ends to meet. I would reccomend this book to m friends, but most of them have already read it too.


overall, this book akes place right after one of the major battles, and Eragon and Roran are going on a mission to save Roran's love. Many things hapen througout the story. The chapters are divided into a couple peoples point of view. We have the Vardens leader, Roran, Eragon, and with saphira, arya, and other miscellaneous people also making frequent appearances. Over the course of the book, the people: kill the Ra'zac, get married, help elect the king of dwarves and repair their saphire, get a riders sword, kill a shade, and other various fillers. In the end, both eragon and saphira's teachers are killed.

The title holds some great significance. It is the first word of magic Eragon used. This probably symbolizes a new start or new strength in the coming battles. He also names his sword thus. In the ancient language it means fire, one of the main elements of nature. This could possibly be used to represent the passion for what he's doing. Overall, this title could have many underlaying meanings which will undoubtbly become more apparent in the next book.

There are a lot of conclusions in this book, such as who Eragons father is, and many more questions opened up. Some of my questions are:


1. Is the Thrid egg/dragon rider going to be good or evil? this could make a huge plot twist either way, it will really determine how the next book is written.


2.does anything ever happen off of alagasia? from the map, it seems like there is a ton more space for world. The ocean is on one side, the forest on another, and the mountains on the third. I'm wondering if Eragon will find help from some other race of creatures on the other side of nay of these boundries.


3.when will Solembums prediction in the first book come to pass? The whole second book left this unawnsered, and only a little happened in this book. I think it needs to come true soon or it will be left as a nagging ache.
