This is the third book from the young and promising author, Christopher Paolini, in the series that started with Eragon.
Brisingr continues where the last book, Eldest, left off. The Varden has started their assault on the Empire, the elves are marching to war, and the dwarves are discussing who will be their next king.
Amidst all of this, we follow Eragon, and his cousin, Roarn, one a dragonrider learning what it truly means to be one, the other a soldier and leader to be. They both struggle with their horror of killing, and wonder what makes their taking of lives just.
We learn how the dwarves select their new king, gain an insight in how the Gods function, learn about the positive sides of Eragons parents, and the truth of Murtaughs multiple hearts.
All in all, this is a very good continuation of the series, I got the book on Saturday around 12ish, and did not put the book away until I had finished reading it.
It has my heartiest recommendation.
