About this listen

Winner, IRA Young Adult Choices, 2010

Don’t miss the eagerly anticipated epic new fantasy from Christopher Paolini—Murtagh, coming 11.7.23!

The Empire is at war and the stakes have never been higher in Book Three of the Inheritance Cycle, perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings! This New York Times bestselling series has sold over 40 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation.

"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity."—The Washington Post

Oaths sworn . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide... 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? Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still, there is more adventure 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.

When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices—choices that will take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

C'est un très bon travail de narration mis à part le timbre de voix des dragons.

Simply sensational range of character voices, sounds and emotions. Doyle heightens the humanity (elfinity, dragoninity...) of the protagonists of Paolini's epic.

Masterful voice acting

These books were my whole childhood and when I got audible one of my first purchases, I have to admit at first listen Doyle's Sapphira voice grated me deeply and i struggled listening but finished them all. after a year of other titles with some brilliant ( Stephen Fry and Kobna Holden-smith) but mostly average narrators(could be my choice in books some being lesser known) I came back and listened to Gerard Doyle's narration of these amazing books and I was blown away with his consistency and skill, his ability bro replicate so many voices so fluently is astounding. 10/10

The story was too long, I think a lot of it was pointless, could have combined with other books. There were some good parts, and some important events, but I was glad to get to the end of it!

Too long!
