About this listen

It began with Eragon.... It ends with Inheritance.

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?

After the 3rd book in this series, I approached this with some reluctance. At 30 hours it is a fairly hefty listen and given the trudge through Brisingr, I thought that I may not be able to stick it out.

I was pleasantly surprised. the book was faster paced, more akin to the 2nd book and had a great deal more plot to keep the book marching along.

Eragon is less annoying in this book - perhaps the purpose of his irritating character is to show the growth of the character into a "man"

The real shortfall in this book is Galbatorix. For 4 books, we have heard about his evil nature etc etc yet he lacks the real menace of a villain. He is like Arnold Shwarzenegger as a villain in the Batman and Robin movie when what you really want is a Tom Hiddlestone0 in the Avengers movie

The book ended well. Like Lord of the Rings, it had a long outroduction (new word) and I like this in a book. I like to see what happens to everyone

A satisfying ending to a good series marred only by a poor 3rd book and a less than menacing "tyrranical" villain

A good ending to a decent series

I'm finishing this series more than 10 years after I started it as a youngling, and I'm still enchanted. I'm very glad the author made the choices he made, I'd have been disappointed with any other ending. I enjoy the fact that there's much ahead for the characters, but it's left to the reader to imagine. A few repetitions, and still the dragon voices bothered me, but other than that, it was a fabulous moment. The redemption and evolution archs of all the characters are a key point in the story. I'll be sad to leave this realm, and will probably gladly return soon.

Closure!

The clear characterisation of each person and dragon do you always know who’s talking is talking during conversations, the most convincing “dragon” voices which were also distinct from each other
Excellent book and a great performance to return to a story I already knew and loved, this set of audiobooks reignited my love of this series

Excellent character voices

I first read Inheritance years ago when it was first released. Listening back to it now brings back such a deep nostalgia that I know will resonate within me forever. I have no doubt that these books will stay with me for as long as I live and have shaped me to be the person I am today and continue to shape me and my choices.

This reading was entertaining and added characteristics to the books where I might have overlooked. Furthermore it was so gripping that I often found it hard to stop listening. Overall, it was a great listen and one I don't doubt that I shall come back to.
