Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

The epic fantasy begun in Eragon sees its conclusion in this final volume of the cycle.  All loose ends get tied up.  Saphira and Eragon must confront the evil Galbatorix, but where and when?  Despite heartbreaking odds, they must continue fighting, for if they cannot defeat him, then all hope is lost.  As the army Eragon has helped create marches to confront Galbatorix, he and his dragon move forward with their plan of attack.  Will they succeed?  What will be the cost? Most importan of all, perhaps, what does the future hold for the dragons and their riders?  A very long read leads to a most satisfying end of this saga.
