About this listen

Darkness falls.... Despair abounds.... Evil reigns….

Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesméra, land of the elves, for further training in magic and swordsmanship, the vital skills of the Dragon Rider. It is the journey of a lifetime, filled with awe-inspiring new places and people, each day a fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and Eragon isn't sure whom he can trust.

Meanwhile, his cousin Roran must fight a new battle back home in Carvahall - one that puts Eragon in even graver danger.

Will the king's dark hand strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life....

As with the first book it is great! But again the voice for Saphira just doesn't fit.

Again the Saphira's voice

The Inheritance cycle is where my love of the fantasy genre comes from and each book when I read them I could not put down. I have listened to them all probably 5 times on top of this as well, Gerrard Doyle’s voice is one from my childhood.

This book and the whole series narrated by Gerrard Doyle is beautifully written and narrated. These books are rich with detail and twisting turning plot. I almost didn’t read them because of people commenting about the annoying dragons voices, I found them appropriate myself. Definitely the sort of books that I will love to read again to absorb more and more detail. Superb work thank you!! What great value for money too!

Gripping read

it's just a fun good easy to consume book. the narrator pronounces things wrong but it's funny and works some how. the only bit I truly didn't like was when they said "bangs" instead of fringe. but all is forgiven. good good good

a great listen
