The End Is Near, Eragon Fans!

On November 8th, 2011, the Inheritance Cycle will come to an end. :angelsad2: The title of Book 4 is Inheritance. I hope that I will read it and it will answer many question and theories.

I thought the first book was okay. The second one lost me. I have a friend who will be psyched by this, though.

I read the first two but not the latest. I thought it was originally going to be a trilogy?

I read the first one when I was in school. I thought it was rather naff, to be honest (certainly inferior to Robert Jordan and Raymond Feist's efforts).

Also, the plot of the first book was a shameless rip-off of Star Wars. I don't know whether that was true for the second book and beyond, but it certainly put me off reading them.

Wonderful news, this is better than the release of the news that Potter would end.

Yes, it was. I remember the author trying to say it was an homage. No. It was a rip-off written by a 14-year-old. In his defense, it wasn't really his fault it got so popular, but still, just own up to it.

It also didn't help that one of the main characters turned out to be his brother in the second book (or something like that). It was almost sickeningly similar to, "Luke, I am your father." That's when I quit.

Also, Big Dante, yes, it was originally meant to be a trilogy, but as so often happens in fantasy series these days, the author wrote too many loose ends that couldn't be solved in three books (I'm looking at you, George R.R. Martin).

:lol:

Don't worry, JBI! There'll be plenty of other bits of populist tripe for you to vent your spleen at.

Yes, it was originally a trilogy. But Christopher Paolini said that the third book would have been too long, so he split the third into two. Think of this one as Brisingr Part 2. :smilewinkgrin:
