Christopher Paolini: Will Be 4 Books instead of 3

October 30th, 2007 at 6:21 pm by --KALEB NATION--

Eragon Dragon EyeChristopher Paolini, author of the Inheritance series commonly known for Eragon and Eldest, has just announced that his former trilogy of books will now have 4 novels. He is famous for being 15 when he started on his books and 19 when he was a New York Times Bestselling author, and was quite an inspiration to me for the longest time, even before I read his first book. He’s sold 16 million copies of his first two novels alone. The titles of Eragon Book 3 and Eragon Book 4 (what people are calling them for now) haven’t been put out yet, though the next book has been set for release in September of 2008, and some speculate the third book in the Inheritance series will be titled Empire. Go here for the news…

Anyone out there a fan of Eragon and Christopher Paolini? And more so, has anyone seen Christopher at a book signing before, and how big was the crowd? I looked for videos on YouTube but there aren’t many of his appearances.

Added 1/17/2008: Christopher Paolini just announced the title of book 3 will be Brisingr

    i think that book 4's name should be gilenr i think thats how you spell it.. just because its closest thing i can think of for a book name that connects to the other 3
  • daviddj
    when will the forth book be out???????
  • Kimmy
    Ok, this my opinion, but i believe that the Eragon series puts the Twilight series to shame...... plus when does his fourth book come out, i know it comes out this year but like when?
  • Jean Wilson
    Please tell us when we can expect book 4
  • iloveinheritance
    I think its possible that rorans son is a rider but there are definitely two dragons that will mate otherwise there would be no more riders afterward and i dont think it will be called eldunari because they already went into that subject
  • ramanoth
    That's certainly a possibility. I definitely think that's possible. I never considered Roran's unborn child. However. remember what Eragon's teacher said. the time of the dragons has passed apparently. They are probably never going to rise up again. And that's exactly what I said about Eldunari; Cp used Brisingr and it hardly strikes anyone as important. Eldunari would be too easy for a title.
  • dodger69
    OK, i'm 48 and have read the first three books that Mr. Paolini has put out. Yes I hated the movie. But felt that the books werre very well written for a young man who seems intellegent beyond his years. Sometimes authors don't get much of a say when someone makes one of thier books into a movie. Look at Jean Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear. Awesome book, movie sucked. I like 99% of your other readers anxiously anticipate your final sentence...
  • Tabitha
    all i can say is "I LOVE WHAT YOU JUST SAID"
    Jean M Auels books are very good. yes the movie was shabby, and so was eragons movie, the books are always better than the movies. oh also if your looking for Mrs. Auels last book it hasnt been published yet I heard from a wickipedia source that it could be comming out March 29th of 2011. but wicki is a source thats updated by people opinion so it's not very likely that that date is true, but just a tidbit of info for you in case it is. ^^
  • ramanov
    lol i love his books i really do i read all 3 about 20 times and am reading the 4th when it comes out in september 25th 2009
  • ramanov
    the last book is going to be called eldunari and roran will have adrgon hatch for him casue eragon will steal the last egg. he will open the vault of souls with his true name and eventually kill galbatorix with roran and murtagh

  • marisol362
    I just got done reading ELDEST. Wow! I placed Brisingr on hold at the library two days ago and started reading it today. I ordered all three of the books together (I couldn NOT wait for my copy of Brisingr, I ordered to come.) I am 43 years old and absolutely devoured the first two books. To think that I picked up a tatered copy of Eragon that was being discarded from our school library. I had to have all three of the books to put in the library i am building for my grandchildren, (None as of yet but hopefully in a few years). I got my nineteen year old to start reading Eragon and I think my thirteen year old will start reading it soon. I hope so, I want my girls and their children to know why I love C P's stories. C P thank you for realizing that Eragon and Saphira, must be kept alive as long as possible.
  • dustinHavner
    Ive read all three books 6 or 7 times each and i can say is he is the best writer ever.Ive been looking for number 4 for 4 months.
  • ramanothShane
    uh, dude. 4 isn't out yet. Unless you mean you've been waiting for book 4 for 4 months, I don't know what to tell you.
  • ramanothShane
    Hahahaha, thats about as likely to happen as I am to finsish my books this summer.
    But thankyou.
    C,P. as far as I know doesn't look at these comments. And besides, He will already have figured out how to end the fourth book already, so comments won't have an impact.
  • sweety
    You know its very bad that most authors dont read fan blogs and stuff.They write their books the way they want
    (thats not the bad thing)and some of the books are fantastic but they would be more interesting if they write some of their fans ideas. some ppl have very very good ideas that the authors will never even imagine about... of course they cant read all the blogs but they can find some interesting...
  • ramanothShane
    That would defeat the purpose of a single author on a single book, and some people might consider using fan ideas as plagerism. You realize that most of the time the author has already decided how to end thier book or series right? They usually have a plan for thier books, although as they go along they may add or change things.
  • sweety
    I know that most of the time they know how they will end the book but they can add some things from their fans.Of course, C.P. has fantastic ideas from his own.I just say that it will be very good if he take some ideas from others...
  • ramanothShane
    Aye, it would be kind of cool if they did once in a while. Still, it might disrupt the story-line or mess up their line of thinking while they write though.
  • ramanothShane
    Ok, what I mean is in a sense, Eragon. In a certain point of view, he will die. He's a rider now, right? That would overtime wash away the nature of his human side over time. That process has been altered and sped up, with the whole half elf thing. His link to Saphira also makes him dragon-like in some ways. and the funny part is he technically a dwarf by right.
    What I'm saying is Eragon might actually not have to leave Algaesia, just Eragon the Farmer, if you know what I mean.
  • sweety
    if you put it that it makes sence,i think.Also i think that its a little little bit complicated...!!But its good, i mean why not?!!!!!!!!!!! you are very creative and thats good! So many ideas!C.P. has to think very seriously your ideas!!!GOOD!
  • scribulz
    I have read many negative comments about Christopher Paolini's books, some of which I agree with, some not. I do think his books make enjoyable reads. I also think he's not Robert Jordan. Like all writers he'll hopefully get better with age and experience. He does need to toss the Thesaurus.
  • ramanothShane
    It's ok, I'm not aobut to lose my sanity over an article you can't remember. So, Sharktooth the island? Hmm. I think another set of characters might enter the tale at this point, such as the Grey Folk, or one of the first riders (no one said they died).
  • sweety
    right, eragon (junior) can meet the 'ancient' eragon...
    OH!!!!! eragon can go out of alagaesia and meet the other riders, bring them with him and win G. all together!!!
    Then roran becomes the new king of alagaesia or vardens and many of the ppl in alagaesia become riders!
    eragon and arya can be toghether and..........ta ta!!!!!!!! THE HAPPY EVER AFTER!!!

    Any ideas??????????how it will end???
  • ramanothShane
    It was to my opinion that Eragon would leave Algaesia forever at one point. Remember Angela's prediction and Eragon's dream? Roran is very likely to become King, but perhaps not of the Varden. Nassuada chose Eragon to lead the Varden if she should die, which I'm confident she will. I'm unsure of what will become of the Dragon's and Rider's of Algaesia. Eragon and Arya might leave, maybe with the elves, to go rebuild the riders elsewhere to return later on. I don't know. What I'm curious about is who the egg will hatch for; the last one. I wonder if Arya or someone else might get it. Arya seems to be the most popular choice, but maybe not the most likely. What about Elva? She has the "shining brow" upon her forehead from Saphira. She might be the next rider. Roran probably won't.
  • sweety
    i know it in your opinion that eragon would leave.i don't think forever but the most likely is to go because in the they told a few times that no one went out of alagaesia... you are right for roran that he wont be vardens leader. about the last egg... elva can be a rider but how arya and eragon would be toghether?
    its like hero stuff, you know, the hero never dies and his/her mate become hero to, and they have the same superpowers and bla bla bla...
  • ramanothShane
    You're putting a lot of faith in the fact that Arya will actually end up loving Eragon. I'm not confident in that respect. It is not neccesary for Eragon to win Arya's affection to the plot of the story. A hero does not always get whom or what they want. More often they get what they need. Another thing is the fact that Eragon will have to teach the next Dragon and Rider. It would be convenient if Arya was made a dragon rider. But who would Eragon teach then? Just her dragon? And would not Saphira handle a majority of that training?

    I know I sound a bit cynical and pessimistic, but the thing is I dpn't always look for the happy ever after in a story because that's not always what happens. It may not be the ending I was looking for, but sometimes I prefer the ending the writer comes up with.
  • sweety
    ok i guess i cant do anything to change your mind about the happy ending...
    and you are right for eragon and the new rider and arya...
    and ok i want it to end happily but not like a fairytale... there must be something sad... like someone to die and stuff... i mean i dont want it to end like: the prince comes, rescues the princess and we got the happy ever after but i dont want it either to end like romeo and juliet...
    or someone to loose his/her lover.thats why i dont want arya to die. i know that there are many ppl that dont agree with my ideas but this is what i've imagined from the beggining...
  • ramanothShane
    That's ok. Still, the person who will probably die is Nassuada. Compared to everyone else in the story, she's the most likely one to die. Next to her, Elva and Trianna, then Katrina/Roran, Arya, Nar Garhzvog, Orik, and so on. I wonder if maybe Eragon might die?
    Oh! I just got an idea! What if what Angela means by "You'll leave Algaesia forever" is that a part of him leaves Algaesia forever, like his full human side when he becomes a rider/elf thing.
  • sweety
    ERAGON WONT DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!FORGET IT!

    what do you mean, 'a part of him leaves,like his full human side...'?????

    you are right for nassuada,you were from the begining.
  • sweety
    RAMANOTH i couldn't reply you because there wasn't much space to write!
    with 'guidance' i mean that i located you exactly to 'where' and 'what' i read about the vault of souls.
    it was a very helpfull article about where the vault is... sorry but i cant remember the website...
    sorrysorrysorrysorry..........
  • Sarah
    I think there will be a new rider. Think it's Elva. Who knows? Can't wait for the fourth book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; )
  • Ramanoth
    Definitely there'll be a new rider. However, your suggestion is...odd. I can't how in any logical sense Elva might be a rider. Her rider's symbol on her forhead is an well-founded clue, but I don't think she'll be the rider. Think back about the dream from Eragon; he mentions a tall man and woman standing on a boat, saling away, and a man giving a long agonized cry as two dragons fly off in the sky.

    No one can wait for the fourth book. Seriously tho, an ealier comment noted that we'd have to wait another 3 years; eragon 2002, eldest 2005, Brisingr 2008. What I'm curious about is the name. Seriously; Eldunari` would make sense, but not in the long run. It may be the source of G's power, but I doubt CP would use such a name. think of the abstract title for Brisingr; it's the name of Eragon's sword and was only brought into the story near the end.
  • Tabitha
    I love this series its as great as Terry Brooks! but i dont care about the opinions of certain people really, everyone IS indeed entitled to an opinnion, but that doesnt mean bash hatefull words onto innocent fans for the things those certain human beings lack intrest in. but anyhoot, im glad that there are so many people out there that have the same passion for reading as i do. :) and to this i say way-to-go! C.P.'s works are very imaginitive, creative, and spectacular. keep up the great work and take your time doing so.
  • Ramanoth
    Your name strikes a familiar chord in my memory. A place or Person, I can't tell.

    I would agree with you on this comment right up until the end.

    CP shouldn't rush it. But for my sanity's sake, he shouldn't dawdle.
  • Tabitha
    lol yes i agree but rome wasnt built in a day either ^^ great minds think alike but to make great works takes time. lol my mom says i'd make a good philosopher.
  • Ramanoth
    Now I think about it, there's no way CP's titling the last book Eldunari`. It might be something in the ancient language meaning "end".

    I just had a crazy idea! What if Nassuada dies, and RORAN takes over the Varden? Somebody is going to die in the 4th book, so it's gotta be Nassuada.

    I bet Eragon's going to say his true name in the ancient language or normal language and the Vault of Souls is the Vault for the Eldunari`, or some of them.
  • sweety
    OK ITS A GOOD IDEA, from the begining i started not to sympathize nassuada(and i dont kniw why!) so i think that she is the only one who HAVE/CAN die... i mean it cant be eragon or roran or arya even elva shouldnt die...

    oh and ramanoth i dont know who you are but i really like you!!!!!
  • Ramanoth
    I don't know, writers pull that kind of stuff on us often enough. Eragon could pull a Jesus on us for all we know.

    Arya can probably die too. I already have a visual of Arya getting captured, tortured, and made a slave so Eragon would have to kill her and then she's dieing and he's crying and she says she loves him then...

    I'm blathering a bit aren't I?

    Elva will make it through this; unless CP sees the loophole in her character as being to sense other people's pain, not her own, that would get her killed. Otherwise, Elva's character isn;t the one that gets removed. If she does die, she'll tell Eragon the spell or action to take Galbatorix from the Eldunari`.

    Feelings mutual.
  • sweety
    maybe arya dont have to die... i dont know...obviously the rest of us dont expect her to die...it wont be the best end...
  • Ramanoth
    I know she doesn't HAVE to die, but some authors pull that kinda bulloni sandwhich on us readers sometimes.
  • sweety
    ok... i think u are right
  • Ramanoth
    Remember Gandolf from Lord of the Rings? Did HE have to die? No. Instead, tolkein tricks us into a false sense of secrutiy into thinking he won the fight and then he falls down a deep dark chasm after collasping an ancient dwarf bridge.
  • sweety
    oh right...but i cant see the way she would die...i mean eragon must win galbatorix alone...of course g. can kidnap her and murder her but if this happen, they wont talk to each other (arya&eragon), maybe to another fight but arya is to strong to die from an ourgal or something like this, there must be some one who knows magic and he is very very strong... but i dont know...
  • Ramanoth
    No, I mean G might kidnap her then put spells on her using her true name or break her mind and force her to say oaths in the ancient language. Eragon might catch up at Uru baen and they might fight. Eragon will win or she can still talk freely. She'll be dieing on the floor and so on and so forth.
  • sweety
    oh yeah but G dont know aryas real name so...
  • Ramanoth
    He can break her mind and find out. don't forget Murtagh and probably the thousands of other name slaves G has; Murtagh mentioned "he's quite adept at the practice".
  • sweety
    i disagree with u again because arya is very very strong so she can keep G out of her mind until Eragon come there and then... voila... Eragon and arya and evryone else who is with them fight with G and... he is dead!!!!!!!!!! and someone of course die... except Eragon and Arya.Murtagh is free from the magic G done to him and its a happy ending! oh i forgot Eragons (and murtaghs) mother is dead?? i cant remember...
  • Ramanoth
    Don't forget that Galbatorix was preparing to break her mind. she was in Gil'lead and about to o to Uru Baen. She was worried about going there because she knew she'd be interrogated by Galbatorix himself. She might be strong, but Galbatorix's mind has been breaking minds for years, particularly those of Eldunari`, the strong minds of dragons. He was quite ready to break an elf's mind.
    Yeah, their mom is dead; her name's Selena.

    OHH!! I just figured out why Eragon's going to have to leave! (Angela's prediction) Remember the Meona tree? It will tell him to leave Algaesia. Or He'll go and find people like him, or he and Arya will leave with their dragons to rebuild the Riders, or to that island the riders first built their empire.
    I wonder if the other man in Eragon's dream from the first book was Murtagh and he'd lost his dragon and wanted to sail away with Eragon and Arya?
  • sweety
    ok! ok! ok! ok! i got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Ramanoth
    Uh...sorry. Didn't mean to sound snotty or know it all-ish...I was just saying what I figured and why, don't take it personal. I thought you were curious as to why I thought all that. I'm not saying Arya will die, just that she might. She will probably become a Rider out of everyone in the Varden.
  • sweety
    i didnt mean to make you feel sory or something... i am curious and i like your ideas but there were so....... many ideas that i freaked out!!!! and i dont think you sounded snotty or 'know it all-ish'!
    (sorry for my bad english, i am from...greece...)
  • Ramanoth
    I am glad. I noticed you responded at around exactly the opposite time of day. I thought your English was simply rushed, but it doesn't bother me.
    I'm from the western coast of the US, where poor grammar and spelling thrives. You are easy to read compared to most of my former classmates.

    Another thing besides who might die; where do you think the Vault of Souls is? I think its in Kuasta because that's where Brom's from and its mentioned a couple times. And I remember something about the Kuthian Kingdom or something.
  • sweety
    first.you have to be glad because if you are not i'll get mad with myself because i made you feell sorry:-)
    second. its very good that you understand my english and its a good practise for me!

    for the Vault of the souls, it might be in Kuasta or in sharktooth.if you see better in sharktooth its a very small spot or whatever it is.maybe its a volcano but i think that its the vault of souls...what do you think?

  • Ramanoth
    First off: I am glad because I do not wish to give offense to anyone; especially on text seeing as it doesn't just go away when you want it to.

    I'm not sure where Sharktooth is, unless you mean a literal Sharktooth when you say it's in a small spot.
    I think we can rule out a volcano, as someone has to be able to access it; that being Eragon.
    I'm not honestly sure what might be found in the Vault though.
    A lot of people say Eldunari`, but it could be dragon eggs or the vault where Galbatorix keeps his last green egg. Eragon's true name, the name Galbatorix might be looking for, could be what opens the Vault where Eldunari or the last egg are found.
  • sweety
    ok i think that the most likely is eldunari because ...idk G. wont be able to open the vault and hide the egg...if it opens with eragons name...

    sharktooth is an island near Kuasta... i cant remember were i read something about this(i am veryyyy guidance, arent i?)
  • ramanothShane
    I looked up Sharktooth and yeah, it's right next to Kuasta in the book maps.
    Maybe that's the name he's looking for? The name the Ra'Zaac mentioned G. was looking for before he died. Unless the name is the name of the ancient language or something.
    What do you mean by guidance?
  • Ramanoth
    I don't know about any of you guys, but my favorites are between Brisingr and Eldest. Eldest is when the cool training and awesome fights come out, but Brisingr is when Eragon stops being a wuss.

    Anyone give a crap about ANOTHER teenage writer trying to get some eyes on his own developing story?
    His name can't be put on the internet becuase its not safe anymore, but if you contacted him on tacolad94@hotmail.com, he'd be happy with that.
  • LOTR fan
    Ok, maybe not BAD writing, but not great writing either. He should have waited and developed more characters and different themes. I think it would have made it a much better series. I thought his books were ok, but still, it is stuff that has been written about before, so it isnt very new or exciting. I hope the forth book is better, now that he has had time to evolve plots, themes, and characters.
  • Tabitha
    again as everyone has stated it is very hard to generate new ideas in a world of writing as old as it is...everything in history has been written about already angels deamons gods devils mythical animals ghosts the imagination of humans can and is immence but it only goes so far. the question that should be pondered about her is "WHAT HAS NOT BEEN THOUGHT OF?" trust me i too have tried to come up with original ideas. and come up with nada. >.< i have characters of my own yes, but the species have already been used way tooo often for them to be of significance to anyone.
  • Tabitha
    sorry i mistyped " the question that should be pondered about (her) is" i meant to type "HERE" lol srry for the mistake
  • LOTR fan
    ya, but seriously, he took so MUCH!! like, one or two things, i wouldnt care but he's too lazy to invent new names or themes! The Nazgul, guess what, The Forsworn! Orik seems like he's based of Gimli, they have an all powerful elf queen. Its like he took J.R.R. Tolkien's work and added more dragons, magic and bad writing.
  • Samuel Elder
    Yes. I do agree with this Ramanoth...
    As a eighteen-year-old writer, it doesn't take much effort to look back on my past writing. I can say that starting young can surley be rough. Both my writer friends and myself agree that it is a common tendancy for young writers to wish to duplicate media they have admired. Is it an attempt to copy or steal? No. It is simply an adoring adolecant mind. I can also attest that names are extremely hard to generate, even with computer programs.

    I feel that we are all lucky! Did Paolini mimic Tolkien? Yes. However, he did it well. At least we weren't presented with a work that was simply LotR... tweaked. The world could be reading a story about a half-ling who has to journey to a volcano to destroy a necklace that renders its wearer the ability to walk through solid objects.

    Oh.. and "sweety," fame has little to do with an authors ability to write, it has largely to do with their creativity and story telling ability. How much do the target readers like the piece? Example: Mitch Albom: revered, worshipped even. Horrible writing ability. (Of course there is always and exception, i.e. Stephen King. The sole author with the ability to ruin the hopes and dreams of every reader in the span of one page and still be renown.)
  • sweety
    ok you are right for the fame but i didnt mean it the way you do...i mean it how you said the story telling ability...that was what i meant...and i agree with you and ramanoth!oh and ramanoth... eldest was my favourite book too!!!!
  • Ramanoth
    My ABSOLUTE favorite part of Eldest is when Eragon finishes fighting Vanir, or whatever that elf kids name was, and Saphira walks up and puts her talon on his chest and says "dead". That made me laugh SO hard when the other elves backed off and the elf kid paled.
  • sweety
    actually thats MY favourite part too... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Ramanoth
    Everybody's a friggen critic.

    Don't you get it? One writer's writing is almost always influenced by another writer's writing. A writer is shaped but what he had read and heard from others. It's almost impossible for anyone to have a completely original piece.

    Naming isn't easy either. What's wrong with building off of what another person's started. I mean, when you think about it, coming up with a name that is unique to the culture of the subject is a hard task.

    But I see what you mean, Chris was obviously heavily influenced by the Lord of the Rings.
    I'm trying to remember where I read something about Merlin or some sort talking about true names. It was like this wizard academy or some sort.
  • sweety
    ...its like he took j.r.r. tolkiens work and added more dragons,magic... ok but not BAD WRITING!!!!!!!!!!!
    if he was writing bad he wouldnt have been so........famous!!!!!!
  • LOTR fan
    wow, have none of u noticed how much he steals from lord of the rings?? The elves in forests, dwarves in mountains called Beors, that are cammed Beornings in lord of the rings, the evil, undying overlord who has a source of power, eldunari instead of the ring. And names to. The Gray heath, Isenstar, instead of Isengard. He makes me so angry!!
  • Tabitha
    ok what about such movies as "Thumb Wars", "Spaceballs" those were ripoffs of STAR WARS!!!! and lots of peeps loved those movies!!!!! and not only that but he changed a lot of things in his books at least if not more than 20% i beleive that makes it OK because as long as you change something 20% or more it can be claimed as "your own work". thats copyright law. ( my husband is a cover band artist he's researched this). so yes he might have gotten his idea from LOTR but that doesnt mean he stole it. because he diddnt he made it his own peice by changing it to what he wanted the story to be.
  • sweety
    so what???? its perfect!!!!!!
    and he wrote it when he was 15...oh plz!
  • sweety
    whats the name of 4 book????????????????????????????????
    i cant wait for it...................
  • Ramanoth
    I know me too!
  • Bell
    OMG, i love his books. I cant believe hes like only 19. I came across his book by accident. I was walking in the library looking for something cool just by the cover(no one give me the lecture dont judge a book by its cover) And than i saw it. I havent been able to but it down for a year. I cant wait till the 4th. I heard it was coming around next year or this year. I dont care if it said trilogy, and i dont want a huge book with all the books in it. GO C.P
  • Who Knows
    His books are amazing i loved the end of Eldest!

    Teh BEST

    i THINK that the 4th book will be called Eldunari And he will find Eldunari in the vault of soules i think that Arya will be a rider and that Roran will be king of alagasia and i think that Elva will betray the Varden and me a big threat she might even get a dragon and use it against the Varden and help galbatorix and when Arya gets a dragon i think that Saphira and Aryas Dragon will... "mate" and angela who knows about here... but in the 4th book Angela deffenately has a bigg role to take

    I thought it would be called Eldunari` as well, but now I'm not sure. I'm mean, look at the name of the second book. Eldest; no one in the book was name Eldest although it was related to some of the topics; Oromis and Glaedr.

    I'm defnitely thinking Arya will be a rider, and if not, Roran will. Elva might kill Nassuada.

    Elva may not join Galbatorix of her own will, or may not join at all. Remember Angela? She mentioned her ward that protected her from Elva.

    Angela can't be that big a deal can he? I know CP will delve more into her history, but anything too terribly big? She likes to BE there, not actually affect the outcome...I think.

    yes but what if elva tries to kill eragon?????? that would be really bad too. yah he promised to help her return to normal but still that girl is very wishy washy to me..... who know what she will do in the next book. she might become the next galbatorix so to speak....O.o(shudders).....

    i hant read 3rd book yet but i loved it so far is awsome!
    cant wait for 4 book
  • mena
    U totally rock! excited to read your 4th book!
  • Olivia
    I think he said it was going to be green back before he spit up the 3rd into a 3rd and a 4th, so when he split them he had to find a different color.

    (Know it's old news, but I don't care.)

    I try to keep up on things that happen with CP, even if I don't like his writing very much (teen author thing, I'm sure KAN knows.)
  • Melinda
    YO. Waz up Homey Dees? Ithink his books r awsome! I have read the firsgt book 4 times, the second book 3 times and the third book only twice. then i heard from my cousin (markie) that the forth is coming out! Boy did I get excited! I think that C.P. is totally awsome! C.P. u totally rock!

    WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot!!! - What a sell-out! If it was marketed as a trilogy, then write a trilogy. Don't get me wrong - the story if good, even if the writing itself is juvenile.

    Clearly, he wants more money. Don't tell me the last story had to be written in two books. Many authors have written lengthly books. Look at James A. Michener and Jean Auel - their books are hundreds of pages! Paolini could have completed his story in one book - he is looking for more book sales.

    Does anyone have this guy's email address? alagaesia.com conveniently omits a "Contact Us" link that most websites have. The guy must be tired of the hate email for being ignorant of what TRILOGY means. Barsted.

    I read his first book by accident, I picked it up at a yard sale for .50. I read it, and fell in love with it. Then I read the second. For xmas I got the movie and the 3rd book. As I was getting close to the end I realized it couldn't possibly be ending. I am bummed. Does anyone know when the release date is set?
