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?

 Don't buy this until you have time to read it! October 16, 2008
This is a very good continuation of the story of eragon. As you read the series you see the author maturing in his craft just as the main character does, making each book better than the last. Don't buy it till you have time to read it, though, because once you start reading you will not put it down until It's finished!
 Been there done that October 15, 2008
What do you get when you toss some great fantasy works, Pern, and Star Wars into the blender? A dark emperor with mystical powers, a young Jedi... I mean a magic using telepathic dragon rider who's the only one who can stop him. There's some variation but you toss in Dwarves, Elves, and morality issues ad you get at best a lackluster plot. It really should have ended with this book but the beating of the dead horse continues.

Simply an amazing read. You cannot put it down!!! Can't wait for the fourth book.
AWESOME!! October 15, 2008
Wow, he has really stepped it up in this book. As much as I was disappointed that there will be a fourth book I am actually excited about it too. I started reading this series because of my neices and nephew but I have really enjoyed it for myself. Having grown up in Montana myself I understand much about the landscape the book was based on. For parents who might read this, this book is a little more graphic in the violence but I don't know that it is excessive. It is speaking about war after all. I really feel it is no problem for teenagers. There is no sex, drugs and foul language that saturates most of the other media found today. Really a great book and hope others find it so also. Thanks again to Amazon for the lowest price guarantee which got me the best deal on my book.
a sure bet October 15, 2008
wow oh wow! i was exicited to get this in my hands. im not a big fan of fantasy novels...but i got hooked on this writer. and amazon.com was there to help me make it easy to order, and read. even before my friends . it's just plain fun, when all you have to do is order and read. it was here before they said it would be. the journey of these charaters, are a worthy cause for adventures. and i hear that there is a fourth and final part of this series. so i'll be waiting !
