About this listen

Oaths sworn.... Loyalties tested.... Forces collide.

It's only been months since Eragon first uttered "brisingr", an ancient-language term for fire. Since then, he's not only learned to create magic with words - he's been challenged to his very core.

Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors on the Burning Plains, 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.

First is Eragon's oath to his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran's beloved from King Galbatorix's clutches. But Eragon owes his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his talents and strength - as are the elves and dwarves.

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.

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?

Great listening

This being the 3rd book in the series and 11 hours long. The narrator really draws you in and holds you attention. As the story pulls you from its high and lows, you will be further drawn in to Eragon and Saphira's quest to free their people from tryany.

Missing some pages

I've read the hard copy of the book probably twice - now listening from this I think quite a few parts were cut out here and there. The parts that were left out are not major themselves, but still didn't go unnoticed. Aside from that, it was still good stuff.

Whole Chapters missing

This is a bit of like a speed read on the book and really disappointing.
I was flipping between listening and reading and couldn’t understand why I would read a chapter not remembering it to then read 2-3 more that I knew I heard and it’s because it’s skipping whole chapters.
An example of this is “amount the clouds” the whole chapter is missing and it means that in this, eragon just ends up at a new place without any travel or back story?
The book is a great read but I wouldn’t waste money on this audiobook again

Poor Narrator

The Narrator accents did not work for me there should be continuity from one book to the next
