The final battle must begin - Harry must stand and face his enemy By: J. Dark times have come to Hogwarts. After the Dementors' attack on his cousin Dudley, Harry Potter knows that Voldemort will stop at nothing to find him. There are many who deny the Dark Lord's return, but Harry is not alone: a secret order gathers at Grimmauld Place to fight against the dark forces.
Harry must allow Professor Snape to teach him how to protect himself from Voldemort's savage assaults on his mind. But they are growing stronger by the day and Harry is running out of time When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why.
Secrets and suspicion are spreading through the wizarding world, and Hogwarts itself is not safe. Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets, and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny For years, the Kingdom of Araluen has prospered, with the evil lord Morgarath safely behind the impassable mountains.
For years, its people have felt secure. But the scheming hand of the dark lord has not been idle On a special mission for the rangers, Will and his friend Horace, an apprentice knight, travel to a neighboring village and discover the unsettling truth: All the villagers have either been slain or captured.
Could it be that Morgarath has finally devised a plan to bring his legions over the supposedly insurmountable pass? By: John A. Halt makes a horrifying discovery: Skandia's borders have been breached by the entire Temujai army. And Araluen is next in their sights. If two kingdoms are to be saved, an unlikely union must be made. Will it hold long enough to vanquish a ruthless new enemy? Or will past tensions spell doom for all?
By: John Flanagan. Harry Potter's summer has included the worst birthday ever, doomy warnings from a house-elf called Dobby, and rescue from the Dursleys by his friend Ron Weasley in a magical flying car! Back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year, Harry hears strange whispers echo through empty corridors - and then the attacks start. The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition.
Then at Hallowe'en, when the Goblet of Fire makes its selection, Harry is amazed to find his name is one of those that the magical cup picks out. He will face death-defying tasks, dragons, and dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive! Kidnapped after the fierce battle with Lord Morgarath, Will and Evanlyn are bound for Skandia as captives aboard a fearsome wolfship.
Halt has sworn to rescue Will, and he will do anything to keep his promise - even defy his king. Expelled from the Rangers he has served so loyally, Halt is joined by Will's friend Horace as he travels toward Skandia. On their way, they are challenged constantly by freelance knights - but Horace knows a thing or two about combat. Soon he begins to attract the attention of knights and warlords for miles around with his uncanny skill.
When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far-from-ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim.
Kronos's army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan's power only grows. While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it's up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time. By: Rick Riordan. Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble.
But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him?
Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself. The Empire is at war and the stakes have never been higher in the third book of the Inheritance Cycle, perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings! This New York Times best-selling series has sold over 35 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation. Oaths sworn 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.
Features interlocking art that reveals an image across the spines of all four books! Sometimes when the author dumbs down their main character so that all the supporting characters assume the role of teacher because the author wants to impress his idealisms upon their young readership, what happens is that the main character just starts to look pretty dumb and that's it.
In the third book I expected Eragon to start acting independently and more spectacularly since he's facing a daunting challenge in King Galbatorix. Instead, he's still being led around by the nose by supporting characters, saying things that are shallow and barely considered which comes out sounding foolish and he's still shrinking away from the responsibility that has been thrusted upon him making him unworthy of leadership.
I find this book series tiresome and without progress. You can't squeeze an Eragon's entire character development into the last book because you have nothing else to write about in the middle two books. Several chapters in this series are simply wasted on rehearsing the same old facts passed conversationally from character to character. It kind of makes you wish that everybody in this book were connected on Facebook so that everybody received the same updates simultaneously.
I could say that this book is better than the average fantasy series which redeems it practically but I truly believe that a better author could have taken this idea and made a much better plot to this story. Let's just hope there isn't a sequel series because I would not waste my time on it. This book is an absolute gem, a must-read for anyone who might enjoy the genre.
It has everything, adventure, magic, romance, humor, suspense, surprise -- all of the elements that make this the kind of story you want to read over and over again. The narration is very good, except for one vital flaw. The interpretation of one of the lead characters, Saphira the dragon, is way off base, and it ruins the story.
I thought I'd start this audio book from the end and work my way back since I've read the book many times, and thought this would be another way to enjoy it. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Read, read, read the book. My favorite character in this book has to be the dragon, Saphira.
She is portrayed as so caring for Eragon. The bond is immeasurable. I have enjoyed following the two of them through all of their adventures. I look forward to the next book series to see what happens.
Any additional comments? I read physical copies of the first two books and I loved them. Haters gunna hate Prior to a long solitary road trip, I thought I might download the third and continue the story while I was driving. After a few hours I couldn't take it anymore.
Gerard Doyle was a fantastic narrator If you have read the other books, you know that the dragons are an incredibly intelligent and advanced race, meeting or surpassing the human race in many ways. WHY then, do they especially Saphira sound like Yoda and Christian Bale's Batman got together and birthed some freakish spawn from hell?!? Gerard Doyle makes them sound like dumb animals who can barely put their thoughts together before trying to speak and vomit simultaneously. I would have been completely happy to finish the series via audiobook, but the dragon's voices completely ruined it for me.
Guess I'll be picking up the last two and physically reading them anyways Great detail, great story lines. Can't wait for the next part. Plus I love Gerard Doyle's animation of the characters. His voice is the best ever! I don't mind long books- in fact I generally enjoy them.
I agree with some people that this book is one battle after another and that Eragon still seems a bit childish. However, I still like the book and think that if you've read the other two- this one should be read as well.
I'm just wishing Mr. Paolini would hurry up and come out with the last book. I enjoy the narrator and think that this is a good- but not great book. I also appreciate the fact that I can listen to it with my young children around and not have to worry about vulgarity and bad language.
Ok, so I'm actually really impressed with with the author. That being said. The major problem with this series is that instead of going into detail about the things that are very important to the story, the author seems to talk about everything forever just to prove that he can make this place real for you.
The major events of the book are great but they are interrupted by very long, seemingly unimportant plot lines that make the story drag on. In this book's case, it was forced into two books when it clearly should have been one.
This is the first book I would ever say that I think I would have enjoyed an abridged version more. However, it is worth the read if you can take it.
I could have just read this book as I did with the first two, but decided to simply listen to it for a chance. I don't regret a minute of it. I couldn't wait to find a minute of peace to go sit and visit Alagaesia. The narrator did a wonderful job in pronouning the word I couldn't read at all. Of course Saphira's voice was not as feminine as I would have like it, but in overall, the narrator did a great job.
I'm glad that the story will continue through another book that Christopher is creating. There are still questions to be answer and a war to finish. Christopher has a fantastic mind. I'm sure that his 4th book will be just as good as his last 3 ones.
I literally counted down the days until this book came out. The first two had me on the edge of my seat for the 3rd. I have to say I finished this with much disappointment.
I just felt like this book didn't follow the direction of excitement like the first two did. More than anything I am very frustrated that it will probably take another year or two for a forth book. Don't get me wrong Christopher is brilliant I just wish he would finish this story and write spin off books on the untold portions, sort of like Orson Scott Card. Emotionally flat, with the occasional anthill or small valley, this book leaves you with nothing.
Unable to capitalize on his earlier success and grow, this installment by the author lacks the depth and range that make a good premise into a great novel. Instead it is a tiresome plodding series of events that do not flow, and characters whose motivations lack the ring of authenticity. His world has elements that are interesting in and of themselves.
It is a place of magic, and mystical creatures, love, war and strife, things that almost always make for a good escape. That is why it got three stars. That he took those elements and made a hash of it is disappointing to say the least. If you are interested in those sorts of worlds, Goodkind, R. Martin are genuine masters, even if they have the occasional flaw. If you read the first two novels of this series, you could take this one or leave it without gaining or missing out.
I read the first two books of the series 6 years ago and liked them, but since the series was not complete then and I don't like reading a volume every years, when I no longer remember the details, I waited for the last two to be out and then started again with the first volume.
I'm just about to finish the last one and I love the way the dragons are portrayed, I love the world the author created, I wish I could visit and meet all the characters Someone mentioned their child loved it. I'm 35 and I loved it : I would venture to say they are not for children, though. Teens, yes, but they are scenes of cruelty and torture and These are serious books, very well written.
Wisely written, I would say, since they really contain lots of wisdom, in nuggets and Awesome series, wished I started reading this series a long time ago but the movie threw me off.
As I'm finding out, more and more is that the books embody more of the characters. About to start the next book. By clicking "Notify Me" you consent to receiving electronic marketing communications from Audiobooks.
