 Great Imagination, I love it! January 3, 2009
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.
 it's taking me months to finish this book..... January 3, 2009

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.
The best yet! December 31, 2008

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!
 As a novel...poor December 30, 2008

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.
Better and better December 30, 2008

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....
