Histoire
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 Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. Soon he is on the journey of a lifetime, his eyes open to awe-inspiring new places and people, his days filled with fresh adventure. But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems.

Holt Cook was never meant to be a dragon rider. He has always served the Order Hall of the Crag dutifully, keeping their kitchen pots clean. Until he discovers a dark secret: Dragons do not tolerate weakness among their kin, killing the young they deem flawed. Moved by pity, Holt defies the Order, rescues a doomed egg and vows to protect the blind dragon within. But the Scourge is rising. Undead hordes roam the land, spreading the blight and leaving destruction in their wake. The dragon riders are being slaughtered and betrayal lurks in the shadows.

Now we're looking for the others - including John. But so are they....

What does it mean to earn the silver oakleaf? So few men have done so. For Will, a mere boy, that symbol of honor has long felt out of reach. Now, in the wake of Araluen's uneasy truce with the raiding Skandians comes word that the Skandian leader has been captured by a dangerous desert tribe. The Rangers are sent to free him. But the desert is like nothing these warriors have seen before. Strangers in a strange land, they are brutalized by sandstorms, beaten by the unrelenting heat, tricked by one tribe that plays by its own rules, and surprisingly befriended by another.

After years as a Ranger's apprentice, Will is now the protector of his first fief. Not long into his service, everything that can go wrong does: Keren, a renegade knight, has taken over Castle Macindaw, a strategic gateway to the North - poisoning the royal family in the process - and is holding Will's friend Alyss captive. The situation grows direr when Will uncovers Keren's secret alliance with the Scotti, who have plans to plunder Araluen. Time is of the essence; Will must recruit a motley crew to rescue Alyss and reclaim Castle Macindaw - before the Scotti can make it their own.

Description
Audie Award Nominee, Best Teens Category, 2013
Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.
Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.
The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?
This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.

good ending
it's a fun enough book the ending is good the voices for the dragon to still very off-putting for me which takes away from the performance of the overall narration at times but by this point you've gotten used to it
it's a good send-off in an excellent ending leave some options for thought but answers enough questions she feel like a conclusion. that's grounded in the world of reality even in a world with dragons.

Sad it’s over
I read this series as a kid and was so excited when I fell upon them on audible. I loved RE-listening to these books now as an adult and brought back all the same feelings and emotions I had many years ago.
I wish these was a sequel to the series but for now I will leave it to my imagination.

I love this book series Eragon, eldest, brisingr, and now inheritance. This book is the end but could also not be the end if Christopher Paolini decides to keep making more books in Alagaësia.

A fitting end to an epic saga (no spoilers)
My twelve-year-old son read these books first. I think he is mature enough for them but not by much. There’s no sex or profanity in these books but they are very violent and this book has some very graphic descriptions of torture. It’s not gratuitous, but it is disturbing.
I very much enjoyed this book and thought it was a worthy conclusion to Eragon and Saphira’s story. All the major story arcs were concluded nicely but not so thoroughly that nothing was left to the imagination. All the main and most of the secondary characters had continuous development and oh my goodness, the finial battle was clever, exciting, and all around awesome!(a word that I do not use lightly)
One thine I really like about the universe Paolini has created is that its magic is ‘hard magic’(as defined by Brandon Sanderson), the magic has strict rules and he doesn’t break them for the convenience of the plot.
Well done Mr. Paolini.

All the reviews had me worried for nothing!
Seriously! after reading the reviews of this last book I almost decided not to read it. It was just as good as the previous three.
However, I do believe I understand now why everyone seem to slam it with a disappointing review.
Here is why:
I am sure you all have read many books in the past, and when you finally finish the series you start to imagine what would happen afterwards. Well in this last book it has that information. The book actually ended (In my opinion) about 3 quarters (or more) of the way through the book. In this audio version... at what I would have called the end of the book there is an addition 4.5 hours left, all of it about what happens afterwards.
Simply put about one (or two) chapters after the war with Galbatorix is over that is what I would call "The End:". The rest of it should have been called something else. The intensity of everything that had just happened can not be matched with the piddly administrative stuff that happens afterwards. It was interesting, and I enjoyed reading it. However if the book would have ended where I think it should have, they my last impressions of the book would have been "OMG! Wowness! Group Hug!". But if you are like so many others who have left those comments that are less then amazing, it is because they are judging their whole experience on the way the feel at the end of the book. Which like I said tapers off to Not so Amazing. In fact it went from "Group Hug" to just "ug"... :(
But I didn't let that ruin it for me. Because like I said the bug ended for me with "OMG! Wowness! Group Hug!" the rest was just the administrative stuff that happened afterwards.
Advice read until you find what you feel was the end, then close the book and say "OMG! Wowness!" Gloat on it a bit then when you ready to read about the administrative stuff afterwards open it up again and finish it.
I hope this helps. Group Hug!

Perfect timing of convenient trails and successes
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Other reviews pride the authors "detail". I would consider the "detail" more of rambling. Providing every possible option at each situation does not seem like detail but more of the author wanting to show each option he thought of before the one he picked. There are so many questions left unanswered throughout this series, yet the author, through all his "detail", never answers them, even though his "detail" made a fourth book necessary? He even takes you down paths in this book and doesn't give you what they discover there. Just, "oh we found it. It made us happy. but we are not going to tell you what it is". Had this series been two books and void of all the pointless side chapters that had no meaning to the main story, perhaps it would have been a 4 or 5 star experience. The reader was wonderful but could only read the words he was given.
Has Inheritance turned you off from other books in this genre?
Not in this genre but I will not be reading another book by the author again. I made the mistake of getting all four of these books before listening to the first one when I had an audible membership. Each one in the series got progressively worse.
What does Gerard Doyle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
If I had to read this book, I would not have finished it. Having it in audio made it where I could at least do something else while having this in the background. Even then, I found myself stopping what I was doing in disbelief of how bad the story was. If I had to give it my undivided attention, I wouldn't have made it to 100 pages.Doyle does a very well job expressing the characters in my opinion. Those who do not like his voices could probably agree that he does a good job keeping them separate from each other and consistent across the 4 books.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
This one had none. After four books, Eragon continues to be potentially useless. You would think that by now he would rise to be a hero or have some skill in something. The only thing he excels with is a lack of confidence. All of the heroes in these tales are to weak to accomplish common goals and then find a weapon, enchantment, surge of energy that allow them to accomplish that which troubled them so much. This accomplishment is quickly put in check by a new trouble that belittles the new accomplishment. But don't worry, a new item key to over come this new trouble is right around the corner. You just have to get through a few thousand words from the author to describe every possible thought that came into his mind before he reveals it.
Any additional comments?
Many other fantasy books have told of complete fantasy realms with fewer words and more satisfaction. These tales are said to be full of detail, yet much is left unanswered and full sides of the story are not told. There are full armies and groups of characters who you know by name that just fade completely from the story unless they are near two or three of the main characters. At least half of this book is wasted on parts that have you screaming not only because you know this is going to mean nothing after you finish reading it but also because you cannot believe the Eragon is wasting his time with everything else going on to tend to this task and wasting his energy, which he is always trying to conserve because of being tired. It's okay though, although he is always exhausted, he always finds time to rest or recover enough when the author decides to talk about Roland.
Though it is a small part, every time the "men who feel no pain" appear just frustrated me. What a lazy solution for the author to tilt battles for the empires side and it is used two or three times to defeat or pull the heroes down. Really? Just because you cannot feel pain means you can only be killed by having your head cut off or by bleeding out? And even bleeding out seems to take much longer than a normal person because they cannot feel pain? Give me a break. If 200 of these men could kill much more, why isn't the whole army like this? That would lead to a quick victory for the empire. This book is rampant with battles that some how balance out until one side reveals its "Ah ha!" moment.
My favorite part of this tale was after Eragon did something completely pointless that I had to listen to for an hour or two. He then went to another character and she told him how pointless it was. I felt like it was almost the author admitting how pointless his own parts of the story had been. There were many times that I wanted to cut my loses and abandon this story and read the cliff notes to complete the tale.

Terrible ending...
This book series to begin with was just ok. The series just got worse, in my opinion with every book that was written. The ending of this book was just awful and leaves you feeling completely unfulfilled. It just kept dragging on and when it finally gets to the end your left with a WTF moment? Like, that’s it?

Wrapped up the series nicely.
I read the first three books in hardback and reread them all before I got to this final addition. I thought that Paolini wrapped up all the loose ends nicely and pulled together elements from the previous books.
There may have been a few gaps or things overlooked but they were slight enough not to bother me. It was a journey worth experiencing.
I have the performance a 4/5 only because of my reading of the first 3 books and I didn't care for the interpretation of the dragons voices. I always imagined them having normal voices with a vast resonance, the way you might interpret a voice of a god, and not deep and rumbling as they are interpreted by the audio because they speak with their minds and not their mouths. If they did speak with their mouths it would have been perfect. That is no fault of the performer though.
I was definitely grasped and wanted to listen to the entire book once I got about one third of the way through. It does climax several hours before the ending but there were a lot of loose ends to wrap up and was worth the extra few hours.

I want my credit back
Any additional comments?
I have listened to the other books in this series with diminishing enjoyment of each successive book but because I wanted to finish the series and get some closure I finally picked up this book when it dropped from 2 credits down to 1. I shouldn't have bothered. I LOATHE THIS BOOK. I'm barely two hours in and every paragraph is agony. I'd have stopped listening after only one hour but I paid a month's credit for this blasted thing and I have to get my money's worth. I have listened to a lot of books via Audible, some great, some not so great and some were bad but never have I wanted a refund. Until Now!
Please Audible can I have my credit back and erase this book from my library? I know I've already invested 70 hours in Eragon's story but frankly I don't care. Screw closure. Eragon can rot in unresolved plot hell I just want my credit back so I can put it towards another book, ANY other book.

Ignore the nay-sayers.
This is a great book and a good ending to an epic tale. The first book is my favorite, but this one is a close second.

Lengthy and bad finish to a decent book
The Inheritance Cycle series started out strong but the farther along, the more plot device characters and coincidences happen to the point that I no longer cared what happened to most of the characters. This down side in itself is the worst thing that you can do as a writer because if people don't care for your characters they will most the time stop reading. I stuck it out though, but again was disappointed by the number of corners that the author had written himself into that made the ending painful to listen to.

Difficult to finish
The characters have not developed since the first book. The situations are contrived. The plot thin and slogging. This is a most difficult book to complete. I enjoyed the earlier books but found this to be filled with meaningless tensions and cheerless results.

Decent story, terrible performance.
I had read the first three books on paper, so I had made my own voices for all the characters. That was not a problem, except for the voice of saphira.

missing something
Was a great story, but seemed kind of lost every once in a while. Poor Eragon.
