Brisingr Chapters 37 & 38
These chapters are called ‘message in a mirror’ and ‘four strokes upon the drum’. And we’re back with Saphira and right off the bat we get a retarded quote from her. She lay basking on a smooth shelf of stone … Continue reading
Brisingr Chapters 35 & 36
These chapters are called ‘clanmeet’ and ‘insubordination’. Eragon meets up with Orik and asks him what new he has. ‘Well there’s still problems rooting out the pests in our grain stores and my new wife doesn’t like to…’ ‘I meant … Continue reading

Brisingr Chapters 29 & 30
These chapters are called ‘a forest of stone’ and ‘the laughing dead’. And we’re at a dwarf city and everyone is cheering. Why? Because they’re just so happy to see Eragon. Hurray for the guy who’s dragon broke the giant … Continue reading
Brisingr Chapters 27 & 28
You did it again, Chris. You’ve broken your own story a couple of times now but you just did it again. Did you see it, when it happened? Let’s rewind a chapter, shall we? Remember that part where Eragon made … Continue reading
