Yay yay yay yay!  I've waited a long time for this.  In the meantime, I better read Brisingr again to refresh my memory. 

Yup, I fully plan on re-reading all of the books before it comes out! ...After I read the rest of the Hunger Games books (finished the first one in a day    )

Oh, I also recommend the audio recordings of the books! I've only listened to Eragon but the guy who does read it is really good! (On the back of the box it says that he voiced Bob the Builder before XD )


Anyone else have thoughts on who the next rider will be?

Um, make up your mind, please.  The BBCode doesn't work.  Either [ b ]four years[ /b ] or [ i ]four years[ /i ], or if you can't make up your mind, [ b ][ i ]four years[ /i ][ /b ].

My least favorite book was Eldest.  I'm not reading that again.  I liked Murtagh until the end of that book...

Me too    But it's mostly against his will (though I was very mad at him for killing Hrothgar with no orders to do so    ).

I got very mad at the end of Eldest because throughout the first book I was all like "This guy [Brom] has GOT to be his dad!"

Murtagh: Hehe nope. Morzan's his dad.

Me: 

*couple days later reading Brisingr*

Gladaer: "Brom is your father Eragon."

Me: YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! (I literally stood up from my chair and screamed this. No joke.)


There's supposed to be some chapters in Inheritance from Murtaugh/Thorn's POV. I can't wait to see what Thorn is like! (When he's not mauling Saphira...)

Wait, I forget, is Brom his mentor/teacher guy?

You really do need to re-read the books 

Brom is the guy who goes with Eragon when he leaves Carhaval, teaches and trains him on the run, and basically sacrifices himself to save Eragon from being killed by the Ra'zaac. He gives Eragon Zar'oc, makes Saphira's first saddel, and Saphira tunrs his tomb to diamond.

His mentors in Ellesmerea are Oorims and Gladaer (They died at the end of Brisingr, but Gladaer is still "alive" in his Eldunari... but he's kinda depressed because he's lost his rider and all that <-- Spoiler alerts for those who have not finished Brisingr)

Yeah, that's who I thought he was.  It's been a couple years since I read Brisingr.  I'll retread them all - except for Eldest - next time I go to the library.
Brom reminds me of Obi Wan Kenobi.

  Whoa! Yeah, now that I think about it.... Totally see that. (There's actually a good number of paralles between the Inheritance Cycle and Star Wars...)

2 WEEKS.

I'm glad I found another series (the Hunger Games) to distract me so I don't go totally crazy during the wait 

I pre-ordered my copy! $17+ just to get it delivered the day it comes out 0_o

He's still writing? Daaannggg

Whoa.

I hope the Hunger Games is a better movie than Eragon was...

Yeah    He couldn't fit everything he wanted to in Brisingr so he expanded it to a cycle as opposed to a trilogy.

I've also heard rumors of a prequel! I would love to see Brom's/Galby's/Morzan's story. 

Ooh, a prequel!  I'd be interested in hearing Brom's side of things.

I know right?    Brom was one of my favorite characters.... Imagine what he'd say to Eragon at this point 

"GLADAER, WHY DID YOU GIVE ERAGON YOUR ELDUNARI???"

Nah, I think Brom would approve... since he's much better trained now. Though I do feel bad for Gladaer... Poor guy. He lost his "partner-of-mind-and-heart" (to quote Saphira) and he seems to be pretty depressed 

I think it'd be more of a hugging moment per the revelation 3/4 the way through Brisingr 

Then probably a smack over the head. For a lot of stuff... 

Yeah.   
Then he might tell Eragon everything he needs to improve.
I do feel bad for Gladaer, though.  However, it's partially his own fault, because he knew he'd die and be stuck in his eldunari.  Personally, I prefer Brom over what's-his-name-Gladaer's rider.

Ooromis? (spelling...?) Meh, I like them both in their seperate ways. 

I don't know if I've mentioned this but...There's a theory that Brom's gonna come back from the dead. Please, no. I'd be fine with it if it had something to do with the "Vault of Souls" (which is the subtitle for the book like "The 7 Promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bitjarskular" was for Brisingr) though. 

And he went to his Eldunari because he knew that was what needed to be done to topple Galbatorix. Doesn't mean he's happy about it though....

Another Star Wars connection:
Eragon - trained by Brom, Brom dies, trained by Ooromis and Gladaer, they die.
Luke Skywalker - trained by Obi Wan, Obi Wan dies, trained by Yoda, Yoda dies.

We needed this thread.
Now I can be angry about the movie to people who understand!        
Maybe we should expand the thread for the Inheritance cycle.
I can't get it the day it comes out though. D: D: D:

The movie. was. HORRIBLE.

I read all 3 books and then watched the movie. I was not pleased.

Just a few of my problems with the movie
Angela. No, she is not thatstrange.

Ayra is not an elf (or she is and she lacks pointy ears). She's BLONDE? No elves are blond/redhead/whatever that was. You're not supposed to know about the princess thing yet.

Saphira's spontanious "growing up." Yeah no.

Too early for Brom's past to be revealed.

Raz'aac die before their time. That was like 100 pages of Brisingr!

Where is Orin?

Feathers.

It could have been such an epic movie series
