I like the first book way more than the second one though... <_< but I can hardly remember what was in both of them. I just keep having horrible flash-backs to that thing they called a "movie."

[ForgiveTheSinner]

[venti-anemoi]

I thought the way Eragon handled the whole Arya situation was..... blargh. But I think they should still hook up. XD

Oohh, can't wait for it to come out! :]

[membrthetimewthe...]

Wow. I didn't know there was another book... O_.

I bought Eragon and im pretty sure that I skipped some parts of Eldest since they were somewhat boring. Then again I forgot what happened...

Maybe I should re-read...

[JokeInsideJoke]

^ that is always a good idea

i dont like how th translations are in the back of the book. it always seem like im flipping back there. i think it should come with a book mark with all the words on it :D

[*absinthe*]

I know! I like that they`re actually there, but to constantly turn back there (or atleast doing so feels so constant) is annoying.

Don't you think the bookmark would be kind of.....big?
Or if regularly sized, have really tiny writing on it?

Either way, I like the idea, though.

[JokeInsideJoke]

then maybe they should make a little pocket sized pamphlet i can tell you how many paper cuts i get makes me look emo

[*absinthe*]

That works, too!

[JokeInsideJoke]

thats me, always thinking

Here's an excerpt from book 3. Courtesy shurtugal.com

"Light and Shadow"
(An excerpt from Brisingr, Book 3 of the Inheritance Cycle)

Saphira kneaded the soil beneath her feet. Let us be off! Leaving their bags and supplies hanging from the branch of a juniper tree, Eragon and Roran clambered onto Saphira’s back. They wasted no time saddling her; she had worn her tack through the night. The molded leather was warm, almost hot, underneath Eragon. He clutched the neck spike in front of him—to steady himself during sudden changes in direction—while Roran hooked one thick arm around Eragon’s waist and brandished his hammer with the other.
A piece of shale cracked under Saphira’s weight as she settled into a low crouch and then, in a single giddy bound, leaped up to the rim of the gulch, where she balanced for a moment before unfolding her massive wings. The thin membranes thrummed as Saphira raised them toward the sky. Vertical, they looked like two translucent blue sails.

“Not so tight,” grunted Eragon.

“Sorry,” said Roran. He loosened his embrace.

Further speech became impossible as Saphira jumped again.

When she reached the pinnacle of her jump, she brought her wings down with a mighty whoosh, driving the three of them even higher. With each subsequent flap, they climbed closer to the flat, narrow clouds that extended east to west.

As Saphira angled toward Helgrind, Eragon glanced to his left and discovered that, because of their elevation, he could see a broad swath of Leona Lake some miles distant. A thick layer of mist, gray and ghostly in the pre-dawn glow, emanated from the water, as if witchfire burned upon the surface of the liquid. Eragon tried, but even with his hawklike vision, he could not make out the far shore, nor the southern reaches of the Spine beyond, which he regretted. He had not laid eyes upon the mountain range of his childhood since leaving Palancar Valley.

To the north stood Dras-Leona, a huge, rambling mass that appeared as a blocky silhouette against the wall of mist that edged its western flank. The one building Eragon could identify was the cathedral where the Ra’zac had attacked him; its flanged spire
loomed above the rest of the city, like a barbed spearhead. And somewhere in the landscape that rushed past below, Eragon knew, were the remnants of the campsite where the Ra’zac had mortally wounded Brom. He allowed all of his anger and grief over the events of that day—as well as Garrow’s murder and the destruction of their farm—to surge forth and give him the courage, nay, the desire, to face the Ra’zac in combat.

Eragon, said Saphira. Today we need not guard our minds and keep our thoughts secret from one another, do we?

Not unless another magician should appear.

A fan of golden light flared into existence as the top of the sun crested the horizon. In an instant, the full spectrum of colors enlivened the previously drab world: the mist glowed white, the water became a rich blue, the daubed-mud wall that encircled the center of Dras-Leona revealed its dingy yellow sides, the trees cloaked themselves in every shade of green, and the soil blushed red and orange. Helgrind, however, remained as it always was—black.

The mountain of stone rapidly grew larger as they approached. Even from the air, it was intimidating.

Diving toward the base of Helgrind, Saphira tilted so far to her left, Eragon and Roran would have fallen if they had not already strapped their legs to the saddle. Then she whipped around the apron of scree and over the altar where the priests of Helgrind observed their ceremonies. The lip of Eragon’s helm caught the wind from her passage and produced a howl that almost deafened him.

“Well?” shouted Roran. He could not see in front of them. “The slaves are gone!”

A great weight seemed to press Eragon into his seat as Saphira pulled out of her dive and spiraled up around Helgrind, searching for an entrance to the Ra’zac’s hideout.

Not even a hole big enough for a woodrat, she declared. She slowed and hung in place before a ridge that connected the third lowest of the four peaks to the prominence above. The jagged buttress magnified the boom produced by each stroke of her wings until it was as loud as a thunderclap. Eragon’s eyes watered as the air pulsed against his skin.

A web of white veins adorned the backside of the crags and pillars, where hoarfrost had collected in the cracks that furrowed the rock. Nothing else disturbed the gloom of Helgrind’s inky, windswept ramparts. No trees grew there among the slanting stones, nor shrubs, nor grass, nor moss, nor lichen, nor did eagles dare nest upon the tower’s broken ledges. True to its name, Helgrind was a place of death, and stood cloaked in the razor-sharp, sawtoothed folds of its scarps and clefts like a bony specter risen to haunt the earth.

Casting his mind outward, Eragon confirmed the presence of one of the slaves, as well as the two people whom he had discovered imprisoned within Helgrind the previous day, but to his concern, he could not locate the Ra’zac or the Lethrblaka. If they aren’t here, then where? he wondered. Searching again, he noticed something that had eluded him before: a single flower, a gentian, blooming not fifty feet in front of them where, by all rights, there ought to be solid rock. How does it get enough light to live?

Saphira answered his question by perching on a crumbling spur several feet to the right. As she did, she lost her balance for a moment and flared her wings to steady herself. Instead of brushing against the bulk of Helgrind, the tip of her right wing dipped into the rock and then back out again.

Saphira, did you see that!

I did.

Leaning forward, Saphira pushed the tip of her snout toward the sheer rock, paused an inch or two away—as if waiting for a trap to spring—then continued her advance. Scale by scale, Saphira’s head slid into Helgrind, until all that was visible of her to Eragon was a neck, torso, and wings.

It’s an illusion! exclaimed Saphira.

With a surge of her mighty thews, she abandoned the spur and flung the rest of her body after her head. It required every bit of Eragon’s self-control not to cover his face in a desperate bid to protect himself as the crag rushed toward him.

An instant later, he found himself looking at a broad, vaulted cave suffused with the warm glow of morning. Saphira’s scales refracted the light, casting thousands of shifting blue flecks across the rock. Twisting around, Eragon saw no wall behind them, only the mouth of the cave and a sweeping view of the landscape beyond.

Eragon grimaced. It had never occurred to him that Galbatorix might have hidden the Ra’zac’s lair with magic. Idiot! I have to do better, he thought. Underestimating the king was a sure way to get them all killed.

Roran swore and said, “Warn me before you do something like that again.”

Hunching forward, Eragon unbuckled his legs from the saddle as he studied their surroundings, alert for any danger.

The opening to the cave was an irregular oval, perhaps fifty feet high and sixty feet wide. From there, the chamber expanded to twice that size before ending a good bowshot away in a pile of thick stone slabs that leaned against each other in a confusion of uncertain angles. A mat of powder-gray scratches defaced the floor, evidence of the many times the Lethrblaka had taken off, landed, and walked about thereon. Like mysterious keyholes, five low tunnels pierced the sides of the cave, as did a lancet passageway large enough to accommodate Saphira. Eragon examined the tunnels carefully, but they were pitch-black and appeared vacant, a fact he confirmed with quick thrusts of his mind. Strange, disjointed murmurs echoed from within Helgrind’s innards, suggesting unknown things scurrying about in the dark, and endlessly dripping water. Adding to the chorus of whispers was the steady rise and fall of Saphira’s breathing, which was overloud in the confines of the bare chamber.

The most distinctive feature of the cavern, however, was the mixture of odors that pervaded it. The smell of cold stone dominated, but underneath it, Eragon discerned whiffs of damp and mold and something far worse: the sickly-sweet fetor of rotting meat.

Undoing the last few straps, Eragon swung his right leg over Saphira’s spine, so he was sitting sidesaddle, and prepared to jump off her back. Roran did the same on the opposite side.

Before he released his hold, Eragon heard, amid the many rustlings that teased his ear, a score of simultaneous clicks, as if someone had struck the rock with a collection of hammers. The sound repeated itself a half-second later.

He looked in the direction of the noise, as did Saphira.

A huge, twisted shape hurtled out of the lancet passageway. Eyes black, bulging, rimless. A beak seven feet long. Batlike wings. The torso naked, hairless, rippling with muscle. Claws like iron spikes.

Saphira lurched as she tried to evade the Lethrblaka, but to no avail. The creature crashed into her right side with what felt to Eragon like the strength and fury of an avalanche.

What exactly happened next, he knew not, for the impact sent him tumbling through space without so much as a half-formed thought in his jumbled brain. His blind flight ended as abruptly as it began when something hard and flat rammed against the back of him, and he dropped to the floor, banging his head a second time.

That last collision drove the remaining air clean out of Eragon’s lungs. Stunned, he lay curled on his side, gasping and struggling to regain a semblance of control over his unresponsive limbs.

Eragon! cried Saphira.

YESSSS! I am SO looking forward to this!

Arya & Eragon should totally hook up. I'll be sad if they don't. [/my romantic side coming out.

HAHAHA. Paolini waited soooooooo long.

Crap. I think I'll start re-reading Eldest tomorrow. I totally forgot what happens.
If Arya and Eragon don't hook up, I'm going to be really sad, too.

The fourth book better be the most f**king awesome shit ever.

WRITE FASTER

[technicolour]

SERIOUSLY, DAMMIT.

OATHS SWORN . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide.

Following the colossal battle against the Empire’s warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still there is more at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep.

First is Eragon’s oath to his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran’s beloved, Katrina, from King Galbatorix’s clutches. But Eragon owes his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his talents and strength—as are the elves and dwarves. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices— choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once-simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king?

Daaang. It sounds like some fantasy soap opera. I'm such a bitter romantic.


DUDE. It's 763 pages. MAAAANNN. I'll have it done by Sunday. Hopefully.

[*absinthe*]

763 pages of absolute f**king goodness ( i hope )

[technicolour]

IM PRAYING.

Lately I've been let down with books I've waited forever for.

DONT LET ME DOOOOWWWNNN PAOLINI!

[*absinthe*]

shit, i'm going to be sooo disappointed if the book isn't great, too. i just noticed that the countdown on barnes and noble's website is off by a whole day.

[technicolour]

Those slackers are uuber slow and updating all the ish on their website.

I'm just going to go to Target Saturday morning and buy it and spend most of the lovely day reading.

[*absinthe*]

Me too!

Paolini graduated from high school at the age of 15 through a set of accredited correspondence courses from American School of Correspondence in Lansing, Illinois. Following graduation, he started his work on what would become the novel Eragon and its sequel Eldest, both set in the kingdom of Alagaësia.

f**king genius.

[technicolour]

I have so much respect for this dude. This books are SO WELL WRITTEN.

And egads! Just a couple more days! EEEEEEEKKK!


I think it'll just be you and me participating in any discussions. lol

[*absinthe*]

I know. But i'm okay with that! I still miss Brom.

[technicolour]

BROM! Oh, man. The Gandalf of the story. MAYBE THEY CAN RESURRECT HIM?!?!?!?!

[*absinthe*]

LOL. That would be the shit! oh and his uncle too. //
WHY COULDN'T I FIND A DRAGON EGG?!?!?!

[technicolour]

DOOD! THAT WOULD BE EVEN SWEETER.

Haha, I know, right?

IM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK. I have my excuse all planned out on how I am going to get out of my house. Oh yes, it's going to be awesome.

[*absinthe*]

ugh, lucky. i have a baby shower to go to. way to ruin my plans. i can't get out of it either. i wish i knew paolini in person so he could just tell me the f**king rest.
or read them to me.

[technicolour]

LOL

For a nerd, he's kinda cute. I wish I could meet him in person.

[*absinthe*]

haha, i agree.





i knowwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
oh lord, the things I would say.

[technicolour]

He's cute in the boyish-looks-but-i'm-sure-hella-smart way.

ROFL I can only imagine the things that you would say.

[*absinthe*]

check out the video! his nerdiness is......hot.


http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26772915/

[technicolour]

Aw, he's cute.

ANDZOMFGIBOUGHTMYCOPY.


I am helping my friend do her wedding invitations so I can't start reading it today. Or, at least, not until later. After the football game. There will be no silence in my house while there is a football game going.


BUTAHHHHH! He's so cute.


Ugh, I spent all day helping my friend with her wedding invites. I haven't even cracked it open yet. Bleh.

[*absinthe*]

Same here. I just started to read it now, but I still have mountains of math homework to get to. I CAN NEVER JUST ENJOY A BOOK. I SWEAR

It's interesting so far.

[technicolour]

I read the first section about Eragon before it got to Nasuadadadabablahablah. ITS SO GOOD ZOMG.

I stayed up till 2:30 reading. And I had to wake up at 6 today. This book will be the death of me.

[*absinthe*]

wait, the Nasuada part? at the beginning? /lost

the synopsis at the beginning saved my life. i'm glad he put it there. i would have been completely lost without a brief re cap.

[technicolour]

LOL

He writes the books in sections. First section is about Eragon/Roran and then there is a Nasuada section about what's going on with the Varden. Soon he'll bounce back to either Arya or Eragon.

The recap was a good idea.

[*absinthe*]

do you like how he does that?

[technicolour]

NO. He always switch's POV right as something really good is going to happen. Freaking pisses me off. Sometimes I just want to skip it but then I know that i'll miss something. ARGH.




This book is going to take me forever to read because all this week i'm working. Argggghhhh.

[*absinthe*]

hahaha, i hate when books do that. f**k. i liked how it was just one pov. it worked in the first two books. well, wait. wasn't there a chapter somewhere with saphira's pov? /can't remember.

and i know! i`m not going to have too much time to read it, either. but i`ll try and sneak it in somehow.

[technicolour]

LOL me sneaking in reading time is staying up until 230 when I have to wake up at 7. It's baaddd.

The first book was completely Eragon's POV. Then, in the second one, he kept switching from Eragon, Roran, AND freaking Nasuablahddada. It was incredibly frustrating. Rawr.

[*absinthe*]

wow, holy shit. why don't i remember that? ugh. got a few pages down today. did you? i`m at the part where eragon is scrying to the elves with Sloan. i say just kill him. lol. but don't tell me if he does!!!!111!!




oh and i was like AWWWWWWWWWW at the part where Eragon told Roran that Arya rejected him. xD

[technicolour]

UGH I SAY THE SAME THING. Sometimes doing the right thing constitutes reading more pages of them trying to figure out if its the right thing and it's way annoying.

And I DID THE SAME THING! (AWWWWWW)

I'm a bit further than you, so, i'll keep my lips sealed.

[*absinthe*]

hahaha. i hate how now when i read the book, i visualize him
as Eragon. I mean, it's not bad, i guess. I'd just rather have the characters I visualize instead of real life actors.

[technicolour]

MMMMM

But he's a mighty FWWWINNNEEE visualization, IMO. I picture the guy for Roran too. But for Arya, for some reason, I picture Liv Tyler from the LoTR movies. Just because the description fits with her perfectly.

I always envision everything playing out in my head. That's one of the things that I love about these books is that he describes things in detail which allows you to paint that vivid picture in your head.

[*absinthe*]

True.


I totally get the Liv Tyler connection, too. // I was thinking about that when I was reading. Everything is so perfectly detailed! No wonder why the movie was completely..........

[technicolour]

The freaking book was a script and did a hell of a lot of the work for them. Those people just don't know how to do adaptations.

Man, if Peter Jackson had gotten his hands on this baby, all of these would be best-selling-record-makin' movies.


And a younger Liv Tyler = Arya. Fo' Sho'.

[*absinthe*]

Oh man. I could totally imagine P. Jackson working his magic. I bet that would be cool for Paolini, seeing as how he got some of his influence from Tolkien.

[technicolour]

OMFG HE IS GOING TO WRITE BOOK 4.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_4_(Inheritance_cycle)


!!!!!!!!!!!







They better hook up. I swear, if they don't hook up eventually, in book 3 or 4 I will be disappointed. RAWR.

[*absinthe*]

how far are you?

[technicolour]

Page 641. If you haven't gotten to the part about Brom..err..YOULL LOVE IT.

:D

[*absinthe*]

He better f**king get resurrected. BUT DON'T TELL ME.

shit. im so excited now. *reads faster

[technicolour]

I AM *pinches fingers* THIS CLOSE TO BEING DONE, DAMMIT.


What page are you on?

[Tomates]

wait...there are 3 books? I only thought there was just 1

[technicolour]

NOOOOO!

Eragon = 1
Eldest = 2
Brisingr = 3
4th is yet to be named. :( Or written, for that matter.

[*absinthe*]

I AM *pinches fingers* THIS CLOSE TO BEING DONE, DAMMIT.
What page are you on?

400...something. gah! are you happy with it so far?



Tomates-girlllllllll, where on earth have you been!

[technicolour]

Finiiiiissssshhhhheeeeeeedddddddd!


SO GOOD. OMG finiisssshhh so we can discusss!

[*absinthe*]

shit! ok!

..dude, is it me or are Roran's parts kind of...dull? I mean, sometimes they're ok, but other times i'm just like

[technicolour]

I skipped the last one. Just flat out skipped it. Didn't care. Wanted to know what was going to happen to Eragon. LOL

[*absinthe*]

I laughed out loud literally. haha.


ok, so i`m ALMOST done.

and

BROM IS HIS FATHER!!
although it was kind of predictable, but still. i love it.

oh and if i were Oromis and Glaedr I don't know if I would have given Eragon Glaedr's heart of hearts. I was surprised. I didn't think he wouuld give it to him.

oh and after those 324565342 chapters spent on forging Brisingr Eragon better kick some Galbatorix ass.

[technicolour]

YEAAAHH, I know it was a smidge predictable but at least it isn't Galbatorix! Seriously.

And I agree with the heart of hearts thing. Apparently there is a lot of trust going on there, man. As long as Eragon uses it only for knowledge and not power, then, *shrug*

AND YOURE DAMN RIGHT. GALBATORIX BETTER GET PWNED.


AND....ARYA AND ERAGON BETTER MAKE TONS OF ELF/HUMAN HYBRID-esque BABIES IN THE NEXT BOOK!


It was easier just to write everything in spoiler tags. :D

[*absinthe*]

LOL. ok, so i just finished it.

1.dude, although it was obvious, why'd oromis and glaedr have to die?

2.when arya and eragon were hugging after killing the shade, i was like JUST HAVE SEX RIGHT THERE!

3.i was wondering does galbatorix have brom's dargon's heart of hearts?


but seriously, paolini needs to spice up arya and eragon's relationship.


um, i think paolini should keep writing about the series until he dies. or atleast a 5th book to end it. not a fourth.

[technicolour]

1. IKNOWRIGHT?! I was super sad. :(
2. YESSSS! WHY DIDNT THEY?!
3. Probably. But...do we know exactly how Brom's dragon died? I don't think it was mentioned in the books...or was it and i'm just dumb?



And yes. Paolini should write until his hands detach themselves from his body. Then he can just speak and have someone else do the actual writing. I love this series SO MUCH, ZOMFG.

Now we'll have to wait another year for book 4. MAN. Make another movie in there or something people.

[*absinthe*]

mmmm, i think you`re right about brom's dragon. i`m not sure either.

Also, for those who understood the reference to a "lonely god" when Eragon and Arya are sitting around the campfire, my only excuse is that the Doctor can travel everywhere, even alternate realities.
Hey, I'm a fan too!

I don't understand this reference that Paolini mentions.





//


So I was in my history class today and my teacher blabs on about Austria-Hungary and whatever. And then she mentioned this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hand


and i was like, wait, wtf. i didn't know paolini based that on real life. /slow
you should have seen me in class. i wanted to interrupt my teacher and talk about eragon's mom.

[technicolour]

Yeaaaah, I don't think we know how Brom's dragon died.

And it's from Doctor Who! I'm a Sci-Fi junkie. I vaguely got it.


And wait, did Paolini base Selena off of that? And dude. I totally would have interrupted class. *nods*

[*absinthe*]

Oh. I still don't get it.

I'm pretty sure he did. It's not necessarily exact, but I'm almost positive that was where he got the idea.

I've been thinking. I wonder what color this last book is going to be.

[technicolour]

GREEEEENNNN! THEY SHOULD MAKE IT GREEEEN!

Emerald Green!

Because when I think Green I think Elf. =/

[*absinthe*]

i totally forgot about green. i was like "would he want it purple?"

then i thought white.

well, i pretty much thought of every color except green.



i think that since saphira is the last female dragon [or so they've said] that it would be awesome if her and glaedr had dragon babies. or something.

well, that would be kind of weird. like as far as age difference. but then, it would be kind of like eragon and arya.

SO YES. IT SHOULD HAPPEN.

[technicolour]

THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD MANY AND MANY BABIES. MANY. For the sake of their race! I mean come on! That is the MOST VALID reason to reproduce I have EVER HEARD.

And huh about the green and purple?

[*absinthe*]

haha. i was saying that green was just the color i completely forgot to think of.

that's basically it. lol.

i kind of want to re-read eragon. i can't wait so long for the next book.

[technicolour]

Purple would be good color. Purple is the color of royalty. Maybe he'll go ROYAL IN THE NEXT BOOK! :D:D:D:D:D:D

Royal with elf babies, that is.

Dude. I wanna reread the whole series again. I have the paperbacks of the first two so I can stash them in my purse and read whenever I can.

[*absinthe*]

i think it's going to be green though. the cover for the third book was supposed to feature a green dragon, but it changed. who knows.

Unresolved Plot Elements In 'Brisingr'
Below is a brief list of some plot details that were announced to be in Book 3 Of the Inheritance Trilogy, (now Inheritance Cycle) but as it was split into two books, appear to not have been included in Brisingr. Paolini has mentioned the following information in various interviews:

In the third (now fourth) book, the Varden's attitude towards Nasuada's position as leader of the Varden might change.
In the third (now fourth) book it will be revealed if Saphira ever finds a mate.
More of Ajihad's background (other than the nomadic tribes) may be revealed.
Eragon has yet to find the Rock of Kuthian or the Vault of Souls and speak his name, as instructed by the werecat Solembum.
Eragon may leave Alagaesia forever from Angela's prediction.
The werecats will be expanded upon.
The words of power Brom told Eragon before he died and what they meant will be revealed.

HAHA. Saphira. She better find a mate!

It doesn't talk about Eragon and Arya though.


Why would Eragon leave? HE MUST STAY.
You know, if Eragon doesn't die in book four or something, I'm going to be more depressed seeing as how paolini is able to continue to write about him if he's alive, but won't.

[technicolour]

OMG WHY WOULD HE LEAVE? There isn't a good enough reason for him to leave!

Saphira will find a mate. Fo' sho'. As will Eragon, dammit.

And yes! He can totally further the storyline. Once Galbatorix is pwned, then he can pick a worthy ruler, and in time maybe someone will try and throw things off scale again. Or they find the One Ring to rule them all. Oh wait, already happened.

[*absinthe*]

haha, lord of the rings!

i didn't know paolini has a sister named Angela too. how weird. lol


look!



SAPHIRA'S HUSBAND?!?!?!

no, i dont know. but that's definitely a new dragon! yay.

[technicolour]

OMG YESSSSS! I like that booook cover!

Wait. Isn't that the same dragon picture from 'Eragon'?




YEAH! JUST FLIPPED!

Gah. Probably this time next year we will be seeing book 4. Hopefully. *crosses fingers*

[*absinthe*]

haha, tricksters!

you really think it's going to take him a year to write it?

[technicolour]

Give or take. To write. Edit. Re-edit. Final edit. Then printing. And just. GAH.

[*absinthe*]

I think it's going to take longer.

So which book is your fave so far?

[technicolour]

This one. By far. I was on the edge of my bed staying up reading this book DYING to know what was going to happen.

Maaaaannn.


Come on Paolini. WRITER FASTER.

[*absinthe*]

haha really? i think Eragon is my fave.

wouldn't it be awesome if he decided that the fourth book wasn't gonna cut it?
