Product Description
Not so very long ago, Eragon—Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider—was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.
Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.
The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?
This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

Inheritance Cycle ( all 4 books) are a must read.,
By
This review is from: Inheritance 4 (Inheritance Cycle) (Paperback)
I think this series was just awesome. I am not a big reader of books and it usually takes me forever to finish a book, but I could not put this series down. I love fantasy stories and this series gave me that.During the reading of this series I even learned the languages of the different races. I think that was so neat. The map of Alagaesia was also great because I could actually picture the landscape of the country. Because of Christopher Paolini books it has awakened a new desire to start reading more. I am already looking at series that he recommended in his acknowledgements to read. Thank You Christopher for a excellent series, I loved all your books in the Inheritance Cycle. I will miss Eragon, Saphira, and Arya. They were my favorite charactors. I feel like I know them so well. Keep up the good work and I look forward to reading your future books.

Not bad at all,

This review is from: Inheritance (Inheritance Cycle, Book IV) (Hardcover)
I'll admit that after the drudgery ridden muckhole that was Brisingr I did not have high hopes for Inheritance. However, I wanted to see how the series ended so I picked it up and was pleasantly surprised. Paolini did not win me over quickly, however... Like Brisingr, the book is riddled with dead-end side plots that do little to nothing to advance the story. A perfect example is Eregon healing Horst's baby. This serves no purpose but to fill space and in an 850 page book this isn't needed. Paolini seems to suffer from literary diarrhea in that every inconsequential thought in his head comes out on the paper unbidden. The irony is that the things you really wish he expanded on he doesn't, but more on that later. Additionally ironic is the fact that the chapters starring Roran are some of the most entertaining, but argueably could have been greatly reduced. The fact that the book also takes over 100 pages to wind down after the climax is a little ridiculous. Despite Paolini's shortcomings, he has managed to pen a fitting end to his series. It is a good and satisfying climax, and the reader does feel a sense of completeness and closure when it comes to the main narrative. HOWEVER, I'm irritated by the fact that within all Paolini's loquacity he could not tell us who and what Angela is. He keeps it a mystery folks. I don't necessarily have a problem with mystery; Tolkien never explained who or what Tom Bombadil is, after all. However, Tolkien didn't spend four books dropping hints and strengthening the mystery of who he is either. If Paolini was attempting to leave Angela as a Bombadilesque mystery character he should have refrained from asking the question of, "who is she," so many times. Perhaps he intends to explore her origins in a future book, but who knows? There should have been either more answers regarding her origins or less questions. While on the subject, who the heck was the woman who rescued Roran near the end of the book? Ridiculous. Anyway, I tend to have a love-hate relationship with these books (except Brisingr which was mostly hate) but I do give credit where credit is due. Those who have endured the previous three books and want to see how it ends will be satisfied, and those who loved the series all the way through will love this.

Vraiment excellent !!!!,
This review is from: Inheritance (Inheritance Cycle, Book IV) (Hardcover)
La fin est juste magnifique c'était impossible de la deviner ! J'ai adorer la série complète même si Brisingr est pour moi le moins bon du à ses temps mort notamment lors du couronnement d'Orik. Inheritance n'a aucun temps mort le seul reproche que je lui fait c'est qu'il est le dernier de la série !The ending is just amazing, I'd never thought it'll be like this and I love it ! I love the four books even if, for me Brisingr is the worst of the serie because of the (too) long event with the Dwarves. Inheritance has no such thing, so many things happened it's just hard to stop reading because it never stops ! But the only thing I don't like is the fact that I have to say goodbye to Eragon, Saphira, Arya, Roran.....
