Brisingr: Book III

The Inheritance Cycle is truly a wonder. Paolini has the rare ability to bend language to his will, subject it to his every whim and desire, and masterfully utilize it's nuances. So he does in his Inheritance Cycle. I love that he explains the nuances of the Varden's politics and what Eragon's and Saphira's oaths mean for them. It really illustrates the complexity of internal politics. And besides that, I love how Paolini never deigns to explain certain things, leaving the reader wondering forever, such as the nature of Angela and her many secrets and the questions she leaves you with. I would recommend this series to anyone who would listen.

Magic has never been done better. The limitations are perfect and it never gets old how the characters find ways around problems. I loved the relationship between dragon and rider.

Gave up on the second book of the cycle as a young kid in school. after several years of not reading at all, I decided to start fresh with Eregon. I read the first two rather quickly and enjoyed them. Just finished Brisingr and I can't remember the last time a book made me feel the emotions this one has. beyond excited to finish the cycle.
