For anyone who read the Inheritence series...

Or just read it for Murtagh like I did, Paolini is going to be writing a fifth book....eventually. And it will feature Murtagh and Thorn, among other things.

And I will be reading it. I have no self control when it comes to things with dragons in them. I will consume it all. Although, I have to say that I actually enjoyed the 4th book. Paolini's writing really improved at that point, though it was still really cliched and unoriginal. So maybe the 5th will be even better?

As long as it has lots of Murtagh/Thorn/Nasuada, I'll be fine with it being cliche and hacky. I was surprised he didn't have Arya end up with Eragon at the end, so that was a twist of sorts. Though Galby's death was pretty lackluster

See I was kind of meh on Murtagh, though I would love to see his POV with Thorn. I think the only characters I really loved were Nasuada and Saphira. Mostly I was in it for the dragons.

I at least felt that Arya and Eragon not ending up better was a sign of an improved author who understood that it wouldn't work (at least for now).

I think he said he wanted to do a book entirely from a dragon's perspective at some point. That might be interesting if he can pull it off. Book five should have something to do with Saphira's eggs, too. (I think people kept asking him about what color her eggs would be)

A fifth book? I thought that series was supposed to be a trilogy...

No, it was supposed to be but Paolini refuses to have an editor, so it got split into four books. (Brisingr and Inheritance) There's a fifth book he's going to write that's post-Inheritance, but he's working on a Scifi thing atm.

Gotcha. Filing it under: 'Squeeze a few more dollars outta the fans.'

I honestly don't think it was about money, Paolini just does not know how to cut things, so whatever he wants goes in. I mean, take the beginning of Brisingr with the group of people in leather/chains, missing limbs, teeth, and so on. That bit went on for way too long and was gruesome. Oh god, and the dwarf politics. There was chapter after chapter of just dwarf politics.

Let's never mention dwarf politics again. I ended up skipping most of that and ended up putting down the book.

Paolini doesn't know how to write, but he's def squeezing his fans at this point. There wasn't that much of a story to begin with.

Well, there was a story. It was just told better when it was known as Star Wars.
