Brisingr Chapters 9 & 10
I do love how quickly people communicate in Chris’s series. For example, someone mentioned in the last chapter how they’re already singing songs about Roran and Katrina. I guess Alagaësia was lacking in poster children for birth control and bad … Continue reading
Brisingr Chapters 7 & 8
These chapters are called ‘the trial of long knives’ and ‘winged tidings’. “But we are your people!” Fadawar, a tall, high-nosed, black-skinned man, spoke with the same heavy emphasis and altered vowels Nasuada remembered hearing during her childhood in Farthen … Continue reading

Brisingr Chapters 5 & 6

Eldest Chapter 71
This last chapter is called ‘reunion’. I like how Chris jam packed all these pointless details in the past two chapters. Things he should have brought up earlier rather than vomiting them all over us. More stupid reveals happened than … Continue reading
Eldest Chapters 69 & 70
Sorry about the late post. Internet troubles strike again. These chapters are called ‘eldest’ and ‘inheritance’. Eragon is shocked and not by all the senseless killing going on around him. No, he’s shocked that Roran accuses him of being responsible … Continue reading
Eldest Chapters 67 & 68
These chapters are called ‘the storm breaks’ and ‘convergence’. Dawn comes and they decide it’s time to get this show on the road. The Varden try and sneak across towards the Imperials because it’s impossibly simple to go unnoticed while … Continue reading

Eldest Chapters 63 & 64
These chapters are called ‘the burning plains’ and ‘the clouds of war’ Luckily in this next chapter Eragon shows up in the nick of time. Apparently the two armies are standing across from each other just waiting for someone to … Continue reading
