antishurtugal It's the supposed book jacket information for Brisingr, or however you damn well spell it.
"Forces collide in Book III of the phenomenally successful Inheritance Cycle.
I thought it said Episode Three here for a moment and wondered why they were talking about Star Wars. That's never a good thing.
Eragon represents the greatest hope for a better Alagaesia. Can this once simple farm boy rise to become a leader who can unite the rebel forces and defeat the King?
Why does he need to be the leader? I'm just curious. Every one always seems to be the leader in these things. I would think being the leader would be detrimental to being the hero because the leader needs to lead people not run off on side quests. Leaders are supposed to lead, which means all that boring shit that comes around like making sure people aren't fighting, there's enough food for the forces, things like that. Eragon is definitely not the leader. He's more like the face of the rebellion, not the leader.
Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives.
*snorts* They weren't even really injured. They fought like morons, but they weren't really injured in any life threatening manner. Just exhausted
Still there is more 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, including Eragon's oath to his cousin Roran to help rescue Roran's beloved, Katrina, from King Galbatorix's clutches.
What promises? I dun remember any promises.
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.
Varden = Dwarves and Elves.
When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices - choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice. Conflict, action, adventure and one devastating death await readers as Eragon battles on behalf of the Varden while Galbatorix ruthlessly attempts to crush and twist him to his own purposes.
may lead to unimagined sacrifice and one devastating death awaits. I would think that neither of these things should be spoiled. However I would say if I had to spoil one, it would be the sacrifice and not the death. If you do, you keep on wondering who's going to die and not focus on the story or let it be a shock. Death works better when you don't know it's coming.
Rich with a thoughtful examination of Eragon's maturing psyche, "Brisinger" explores how Eragon must come to terms with his role as a leader and the moral obligations that weigh heavily upon his young shoulders as a Dragon Rider."
As we all know that Eragon is a psychotic mass murderer with the inverse morality of a tribble's birthrate, I'd hate to see what his maturing psyche has in store for us.
