Summary: Great Imagination, I love it!
Comment: Although I was disappointed that this wasn't the last book, I thought it was well written and
creative. I am looking forward to seeing how the last book wraps the story up. If you like dragons
and fantasy I definitely recommend reading this series.

Summary: it's taking me months to finish this book.....
Comment: I loved the first two books - couldn't put them down. This third book I have been forcing myself to
read for about three months now, and still there is no end in sight. It sucks. What's it about?
Bla bla bla bla bla. I am 500 pages in, and nearly nothing significant has happened, other then in
the first two chapters. I hate it, but I'll have to finish it, and the upcoming fourth book, just
so I can lay them to rest. I'll probably burn them so no one will find them and torture themselves
by reading them.

Summary: The best yet!
Comment: Thsi was by far the best of the series so far. I am totally amazed that there are some readers who
haven't given it 5 stars. I read it in about 3 days. When I had finished reading it, I actually
picked it back up and read most of it again. It was that good!

Summary: As a novel...poor
Comment: The first book was a decent book. The second had some issues. There were points of interest, and
some clever bits in this third book, but as a novel, it was crap. First, far too much superfolous
prose. This book could have easily come in under 500 pages and been better. Second, what character
or story *really* progressed in this book that made it worth 700 pages? Lastly, it ended without
resolution, to be frank, and left me wondering if I can handle another 700+ pages in the
follow-up.

I don't think this should or will keep you from reading this book, if you
have already invested emotionally in the characters or story, like me, but its disappointing that
the authors arc started so high and has come down with each release. I have to admit, as I was
reading this, I thought this was a trilogy, so I was going to get a conclusion, but as it neared the
end, I realized this was not going to be the case.

I hope the author is saving up the
goods for the finale. This was very unsatisfying.

Summary: Better and better
Comment: Paolini's first book in the series, Eragon, was a great story told to create a premise. In the
subsequent books, Paolini has built several histories on this foundation; we have spent time with
elves and dwarves, not just superficially as they appear to carry the plot forward, but as
individuals of depth. I love that.

As the books have progressed, so has Paolini's
writing. He slowly unfurls his tales now, not as a youth, but as a master story teller. I know he
has come under some undeserved and inordinately severe criticism because of his age. No worries,
Chris; turn the other cheek and keep writing. You have a tremendous fan base out here--including
those of us who are in our fifth decade....
