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?

 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.
 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
 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.
Love Dragons January 6, 2009
This is an excellent book. Can't wait for the next one. It is a little drawn out in places but that is how he writes so you can just skip over those parts. I really enjoy the more active roll the dragons are getting in this book.
Perfect January 6, 2009
