Product Description
OATHS SWORN . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide.

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 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, Katrina, 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 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?

5 out of 5 stars Great Reading!   January 9, 2009
This is a great book. I purchased it for my son's collection but read it as well. It's wonderful, imaginative, and full of great detail. Can't wait for the next and final book in this series.


1 out of 5 stars This book is devastating   January 9, 2009
That has to be the single most convoluted and boringly stretched novel I've read to date (and I've read every single Wheel of Time book)! The plot is going exactly nowhere, and instead of being to the point, Paolini tries to make the book longer by filling it with inconsequential trivialities that constantly wander off-track, pre-teen angsty broodings about the meaning of morals that a twelve-year-old would be embarrassed to read, and characters so out of proportion with the world around them, that at some point I was afraid I'd puke all over the pages if someone did ANOTHER "first of its kind" or "best ever in the history of the world" deed. And let's not forget that Mr. Paolini has found himself a Thesaurus! Thus we are treated to the most ridiculous out-of-place words in the most absurd places, supposedly to make us think his style has vastly improved because he can switch from "acolytes" to "servile novitiates" for no apparent reason.

Yes, I am appalled. I'd recommend this book (and the "Eragon" series as a whole) only to people who are in their early teens and/or have never read a single fantasy novel in their life. Being mentally twelve would also help.


2 out of 5 stars Thin   January 9, 2009
Thin on plot, thin on characterization, thin on imagination. It's one heck of a thick book, though.

Seriously, whoever talked him into adding another volume clearly was only thinking of the bux. If he does this again I'm dropping out.

Even my 9-year-old finds it boring.


4 out of 5 stars 11 yr old loves it!!!   January 8, 2009
i bought this for my grandson who is 11 yrs and he has been waiting for it i guess for a while. he loves this type of book and read it in a few days, only reading at night and some after homework. good read according to him


5 out of 5 stars Pretty good   January 7, 2009
The language and imagery is quite beautiful, and is probably the strongest point of this novel. There is indeed a plot, but not much action, which represents a change of style from the first volume of the series. The book falls into the same general class as Patricia McKillip.
