I did expect a lot more from this book. To be honest I wanted Eragon to be with Arya, but she ended up choosing to stay and lead her people. Even though they didn't stay together, i was happy with he ending. Also, i thought it was weird that Eragon didn't had a way to defeat the king till close to the end.
Well, my favorite part was when Eragon was training with Arya and she took advantage of the fact that he likes her to win every fight lol

Brisingr is such a good book. It just made me want to keep reading more and learn more about this amazing world that Paolini created. The description of the wars are so good. I do feel sorry for Eragon's brother. He is not exactly evil, but just a nice guy being controlled by the king.

Probably my favorite book from all four. I believe that it just has a great balance between Eragon and his cousin side of the story. And it was great to know about Brom and read about Eragon's training. Also, learning more about the elves and their culture was so beautiful thing to read.

I love when Arya does't accept Eragon's love. She knows what is important and she's had many years to understand that there is no need to rush into anything. Also, she may not have realized that she likes him too because she is a princess and she has to think rationally. There is a war and romance is not the most important thing in her mind.
