Brisingr

By Christopher Paolini

‘Brisingr’ is the third book in the Inheritance Cycle, written by author Christopher Paolini. This book begins a few days after Eldest concludes. Eragon, Roran and Saphira travel to Helgrind. After saving Katrina, Roran proclaims his endless love for her and they return to the Varden. Eragon stays behind to kill the remaining Ra’zac.

Game of Love, Game of Life

When Eragon returns he finds out that Katrina is pregnant. He marries Roran and Katrina. After the wedding Nasuada orders Eragon to attend the fun and games at the elections of the new dwarf king. At the dwarf city in the Beor Mountains, Eragon becomes a target for assassination. The assassination attempt is a failure.

Practical Magic

After the coronation of the new dwarf king; Eragon and Saphira return to their private teacher in Ellesmera, to continue to learn magic spells and complete their training. Once in Ellesmèra, certain truths about Eragon’s heritage become known. The evil king Galbatorix’s source of seemingly infinite power and dark magic secrets are revealed.

Depth Perception

I feel that this book is focused mainly on the politics of the various races in Alagaёsea. What I found was that, while there were important issues to be focusing on, the various races were focused mainly on their political and cultural issues and conflicts. Because of this mindless self indulgence, they were blinded to the bigger picture and the more important issues at hand.

For the Tropic of Freedom Finders Keepers:
We have been plied with so many distractions in our lives, to keep us from seeing the truth. We have been set up with cultures, religions, politics, wars, sport, and the media. And they have all been pitted up against each other. All to keep us so occupied that it rarely occurs to us to search for more.

How much of what is going on in your life are you not seeing, because you are so focused on your distractions?For how long were you taken in by your distractions before you realised that it’s meaningless?How much are you still taken in by the distractions set in place for you, without you even realising it?
