I reread this from when I was a child. I loved it then and I love it all the same now. Although nowadays the 'star wars' mirroring is all the more obvious!

I first read this book over six years ago, and I reread it at least once a year, yet each time I read it, I am overcome with grief and heartbreak and profound sadness when I reach the fall of Glaedr and Oromis.
This book is incredibly well-written, and will always be included in my favorite books. I’d definitely say it might be one of the best books in the series, though it has been a year since I’ve read Inheritance, so my opinion might change later.
Brisingr has provided the best form of escapism I’ve enjoyed in the past few months, and possibly ever. In a time like this, being able to escape into a new world is very important to me.

Really enjoyed this and I just love how Paolini builds the world. Everything is described so well that its easy to picture exactly what was going on. I enjoyed each and every POV but especially Sapphira's! It did feel a little long but overall enjoyed this a lot.
