THE BOOK JACKET:

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.

THE REVIEWS:

For me, Paolini left too many questions unanswered and left the reader wanting. There was just too much left unsaid.

Through the Looking Glass and Back Again
+

This last, long-awaited book in Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle was the perfect conclusion to a classic series that will never be forgotten.

Phaedrus Within
+

Inheritance is a fitting end to the cycle. Best of the four books, this is a culmination of the journey Christopher Paolini, and all of us, took through the series

Tark’s Picks
-

I have to say, this series has gone downhill. To me, the first book was the best. This last one being the worst.

Granny Beads and Grocery Store Feet
-

Paolini, however, is as unoriginal as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich . . . and has about as much taste.

This book needed a lot more editing for focus and fluidity. I wasn’t disappointed but I wasn’t impressed either.

The Ninja Librarian
-

I have two words for this book (and possibly just the author in general): Long. Winded. Or is that really one word? Whatever. It still applies.

Reading Teen
+

Has it changed? Or is it still the incredible series I knew? My answer: The latter. Inheritance is pretty much everything I expected it to be and more.

Book Infinity
+

For a fan of the series, it was a terrific book that had me glued to it until the very last page.
