Don’t miss the eagerly anticipated epic new fantasy from Christopher Paolini—Murtagh!

The Empire is at war and the stakes have never been higher in Book Three of the Inheritance Cycle, perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings! This New York Times bestselling series has sold over 40 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation.

"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." —The Washington Post

Oaths sworn . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide... Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king? Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still, there is more adventure at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep.

When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices-choices that will take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

I loved the story, every time I had time to listen I would day dream and imagine myself in this world

Story and voice acting was amazing

Great book but the music at the end was to much I understand the effect they were going for but personally I feel like they tried to hard and fell short

The music at the end was to much

The narrator is for the most part quite good, however with some of the characters, and especially with some of Eragons lines, he can get pretty cringy.

The story was excellent. There were many memorable scenes such as the dwarf women, the minoa tree, and gladyr vs thorn. Eragon actually comes across now as being a powerful figure, almost a demi superhero, but the shadow of galbatorixs power is always far larger.

The most disappointing part for me is that when we first hear Galbatorix talk he comes across as a changed man from when he destroyed the riders, and I thought that was a pretty interesting development, but then jokes, it turns out he is still your run of the mill tyrant.
