MURTAGH | Christopher Paolini FINALLY Returns to Eragon With New Book!

[@CapturedInWords]

Are you excited for Murtagh?? I'm looking forward to rereading these books before it releases!

[@channelnamepending8329]

So friggin hyped!! I've wanted to know how Murtaghs story continued for like 10 years.

[@CapturedInWords]

​@@channelnamepending8329 Same here!!! I can't wait

[@infinitecurlie]

I'm so excited lol. I pre ordered the book and also the illustrated Eragon book right after it was announced. 😆

@@CapturedInWords Even if I never read Eragon, I'm excited for this! Paolini has been doing some big things

[@josiahbreeck5750]

After reading the comments I'm glad I'm not the only one who's excited please do make some videos on them I love your stuff

[@EpicTalez]

Murtagh was my favourite character. I will be reading this for sure. I have a soft spot for edgy characters. This story was integral when I was growing up. It definitely played a huge role in my love for fantasy.

[@CapturedInWords]

Gotta love those edgy characters with a dark past! This played a big role in my love for fantasy too, and I can't wait to read Murtagh

[@matheusvmoraes]

The Inheritance Cycle was the series that got me hooked with the Fantasy genre, it holds a special place to me. I'm thrilled for Murtagh!

[@Mrdingdong542]

Same

[@kylewood2715]

A reread is definitely in order; it’ll be interesting to see how Paolini’s writing has or has not evolved after so much time

[@CapturedInWords]

I'm interested to see that as well! I'm hoping I'll still enjoy the series upon reread

[@squngy0]

I definitely noticed his writing evolving even during the main series, so I would be surprised if it hasn't.

[@One_of_the_9]

@@CapturedInWords you will I truly believe. Just goy done with mine at 23 yo, first time reading them was 14, and the reread just absolutely solidified my love for this world

[@maxroy5246]

If you’ve read to sleep in a sea of stars you know it has clearly evolved. But even the earnest charm of his teenage prose is excellent imo

[@silvermoonlight1206]

I gasped do audibly when i read the title of this video??!! OMG the Inheritance Cycle was and is the LOML - i remember i used to be so obsessed with it I reread once a year and my first profile picture on FB was a selfie of me and my copy of Eragon 😭 I’m so excited!!!!

[@CapturedInWords]

So hyped!! I can't wait to reread them and will definitely make some videos on the series!!

[@bg7290]

Lol you ate your words. The book was terrible

[@silvermoonlight1206]

@@bg7290 sorry to hear that!

[@kelly8752]

I’m excited for this. Murtagh is my favorite character and it’ll be nice to see character growth and redemption. I’ll probably re read the series since it’s been a while.

[@aka_kyras]

Considering I first read these books in my early 20's I still really enjoyed them, and over the years I have even re-read the series a few times. I am really looking forward to any and all future additions to this awesome series.

[@LestatTheDivaKing]

So looking forward to this! And again, I can't thank you enough for making me a bookworm again, after many years with Reading slump! And thank you for making videos that have helped me through a tough time in my life!✌️ Peace from Norway

[@CapturedInWords]

I'm so happy to hear my videos have helped, that means a lot!! 😁

[@mattbuxton]

Super pumped for this! My wife and I reread it back in 2020. I think it is a great "beginner fantasy" for those that are new to epic fantasy. Its easy to have nostalgia glasses for this but I still think its a great story and the worldbuilding is superb. PS, I see what you did with the books in background, nice touch.

[@rorangarrowson5]

I am so excited for this. The inheritance cycle mean so much to me

[@bg7290]

How did that one turn out lol? I really disliked a lot of it. The plot was a cool idea and executed terribly.

[@Vin_one8978]

This is incredible. Eragon was the best part of my childhood.

[@AAMolder]

So excited!!! These books really got me into audio books. I will re-read them for the 10th time before it comes out!

[@CapturedInWords]

I think I'll give the audio books a listen this time!

[@Avarn388]

I'm not going to lie; I'm pretty excited about this. I never really liked the Eragon series that much(loved them as a kid but I see they have problems) but I'm willing to give Paolini a chance in that he's grown a lot since then and hopefully he can actually provide something good and Murtagh to boot; my favorite character in the series getting his time to shine. As for the illustrated editon of Eragon, sure I'll pick it up. I love illustrated books.

[@MosarieMusic]

I actually just finished the audio books. The story is so much more than I remember. I don't think I've ever been more excited for a book

[@catarinathebookworm]

I am beyond excited for Murtagh!!! Loved this series when I was younger and am so happy we will have a standalone about this character. Will be rereading for sure!

[@raytrix1]

I had a signed copy of Eragon when I was very young. A friend "borrowed" it once and never gave it back. I hadn't even read it yet. And I still haven't! I think this new book may be a good reason to get into the series, twenty years later. :)

[@jordensabers8988]

If you still haven't read the series of course I recommend you do. Unfortunately once you do it's a pretty good chance you will be considerably more upset about losing your signed copy. I definitely would be. My perspective from having read the series, if by chance a friend got anywhere near a signed copy of it, then didn't return it..... I would move into his home and refuse to leave until it showed back up. Lol

[@silvermoonlight1206]

Do keep us posted if you are planning to do a reread! I’f be interested to hear your thoughts on reading it as an adult

[@CapturedInWords]

For sure! I think I'll definitely make a video covering my thoughts on how well they hold up reading them as an adult

[@cheyannemiller4787]

I'm super excited for the new books! I reread the Inheritance Cycle recently as an adult and it did stand the test of time for me! I really enjoyed them and honestly retained more about the world and plot than I did as a young reader. I hope you have the same experience when you get around to rereading them before Murtagh is released!

[@DarlemGhoul42DGH]

I finally started the Inheritance cycle books this year on the last book almost done. It's such a great read, took me forever to finally get around to reading them and now theirs news of more ♡~♡

[@thesunshineseekers]

So it _is_ possible to continue a series after 20 years 👀

[@rjcv87]

Learn G.R.R Martin

[@VERGILGASM]

My favorite thing about the book is the fact it's named after the protagonist, which means we might get an entire new series of books about Murtagh.

[@matthanyfiedtano4175]

Wow. Can’t say I’m still a super fan of Eragon, but it was my first introduction to this style of fantasy at such a young age.

[@nancyvanvarick2000]

Just read the series for the first time. At 60. I love it and pre ordered the book. Finished the Fork 10 minutes ago....

[@Janthdanl]

Can’t wait, grew up reading the books and always loved Murtagh

[@Daijinthetripod]

TIL how Brisingr is pronounced lol It makes so much more sense now. I LOVE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, GO PAOLINI!!! Ty for covering this as well, Jay :)

[@timandjessica4204]

@@CapturedInWords I'll definitely be on the lookout for that.

[@michaelmcqueeferton6911]

Eragon bereft the obsession with arya is something I always wanted. It’s so simple, present the world of algaesia and the plights of its inhabitants, and make our beloved murthagh the protagonist. Age the content with your audience, add some edge, and deepen the soul of the main characters. No way paolini can fuck this up.

[@ihavethehighground4110]

Wil definitely be reading the series again to get ready for the new book! Would also love to see you do more content on the Inheritance series 👍🏼👍🏼

[@elisabethprice4697]

Please do some inheritance cycle videos!!! I have started a reread last year but I need to continue… this is really exciting news!

[@CapturedInWords]

I'm excited too! I'll definitely make some videos as I reread through them!

[@breezy3392]

Murtagh was my favourite character. I'm very curious to see what comes next for him

[@PhantomGreyfire]

Time for a reread.

[@ProtagonisTeneT]

I'm so glad this is finally out. The reason why I Didn't like book 3 and 4 as much as the first two is because we didn't get enough time with Murtagh and Thorn. If they had some chapters with them like they did with Roran, I promise you book 3 and 4 would've been even better

[@justingriffey510]

That’s crazy! I just finished rereading Brisingr, now I’m so happy I did!

[@machinedragonslair]

Looks like I'm re-reading this cycle just in time! I took an embarrassingly long break from Inheritance, came back, had no idea wtfbbq was going on and decided to re-read from the very start.

[@Vradica]

I'm glad it'll continue.. However, I admit that joy is mostly for the fact that my daughter will have more stories when she gets old enough :) I loved the books 20 years ago, however it doesn't do a lot for me now!

[@SirMidKnight]

i would absolutely enjoy inheritance cycle videos

[@MrDrummerDeluxe]

Never finished the series since he completely lost my internet during the third book. Murtagh was by far my favorite character so I'll definitely start a reread and judging by my enjoyment I either buy or ditch the new book.

[@Sheija]

Yes for inheritance videos!

[@5PctJuice]

I've been slowly rereading the books over the past month or so and I'd say the story holds up if not the writing. The writing definitely improved as the series went on, though, and Paolini's Fractalverse material is a lot more mature in its writing than the first 2 books of Inheritance.

[@turbokid8719]

I like your reviews have you read the Saxon stories? I’ll admit I watched the show on Netflix before I read the first two books but the show was really good.

[@lazarusreads3711]

I absolutely loved the inheritance cycle and will definitely be buying Murtagh, the illustrated edition of Eragon, and the Barnes and Noble special paperback edition of Eragon with the blue sprayed edges!! Reread time 😂

[@CapturedInWords]

Might as well get them all!! Haha I'm definitely going to at least get the illustrated copy and Murtagh! I can't wait to start the reread!

[@Gundam00257]

Going to start a reread now!

[@Katellabe]

I thought murtagh was book 5... I'm happily surprised there will be even more!

[@jonathandixon1305]

[@joshmartin3078]

Quick question 🙋 @capturedinwords.... Are you still writing a book?

[@donmujtaba]

How did I just found out about it 😭 , I have already finished the series twice , was first introduced only 2-3 years ago

[@DennisHeikki]

i re-read them in 2021. Loved em cus i was introduced to them before i was 10. really enjoyed them during the re-read too, but they aren't on the same level as wheel of time, witcher or first law (for me). can't say i loved the romance or the way things ended. they are definitely worth a read though, cus i love the magic system, the relationship Eragon has with Saphira, and the journey and progression. excited for the sequels. will likely be taking a look after i'm finished diving more into first law, discworld and the cosmere (lol the list of wanna-reads is so long)

[@lukemacdermid2246]

So is this before we see Murtagh in The Fork, The Witch, and the Worm?

[@jomelledominguez8465]

I am so excited

[@azurastar3223]

Guess I actually need to read book 4. I desperately tried to read it, but couldn't get invested in it like I had with the others. I will definitely get the illustration book and book 5 though.

The sword is Pronounced Brisingr- BRISS~ing~gur or did anyone miss how he said it😂

[@chriskirby7785]

I’m currently re-reading the series right now and I just love. I’m extremely excited for the future of Alegasia. The release date is close to my birthday too!

[@louisity]

I asked in Goodreads if this is book 5 or if this will be part of another series. I guess this is more of a companion standalone or something? Thanks for the info, Jay! 👊😄

[@CapturedInWords]

Yes so Murtagh is a standalone novel that is not part of the main 'Cycle', but it still connects to the main series in that it answers some needed questions and lays the foundation for the upcoming 5th book that Paolini is working on 😄

[@florianalofs4553]

Wait, does that mean there will be more Books or Eragon coming After murtagh?

[@gabriellewcam]

Inheritance cycle discord read along?? I also haven’t read them since middle school

[@angelhurtado55]

any chance his prose has improved by any metric? also, who in their right mind is excited for ANYTHING made by Disney in this day and age?

[@luisbarbosa8773]

i cant wait for this to come out. i preordered borth the illustrated and the new novel minutes after they were announced. To be honest i even felt tears in my eyes lol 😂

[@Jmfox1999]

I’m hoping this expands into a new big bad or something that could push for more books

[@drewlebaron]

Super excited about the new books! However, Someone on reddit said the inheritance cycle is just Star Wars with Dragons, and I can't get past that... 😆

[@CapturedInWords]

Ahaha yeah I've heard that as well and it's pretty accurate 😂

[@SeanBainbridge-ky1mw]

So how many dragon riders are there in the whole story?

[@Rybay]

20 years between Trilogies? At this rate, Rothfuss should just be about done with Doors of Stones by the time Paolini completes his third trilogy

[@jhinckle90]

So it can’t be a cycle anymore or it can be the first in a new set

[@masonfethkenher1969]

Heck ya

[@mightyhercul_yt8976]

I never got around to fully reading the series but liked the movie and remember it coming out as a kid. So I just recently got into audio books past year or so and literally just finished the series in October of last year and I have re listened to them 2 more times since then and fell in love with the series as a whole and relate it to a very happy and pivotal point in my life. These books helped me get through a point in my life where I was very down and depressed. So this news has excited me beyond belief and has given me something to look forward too this year. PS. I didn’t even know this was confirmed until I finally bought my first paper back copy of the last book, Inheritance just this past weekend.

[@Lancastrianer]

I really loved the books when i grew up. But when i read book 4 i kinda lost all interest in them. I barely finished it. I had read 1-3 just before 4 and it felt out of line. Like it wasnt written by Paolini or too rushed. But it might be that there was another translator than the first books. Nonetheless i might try rereading them again and hopefully i wont lose interest again in book 4. I really need a good book series again after doors of stone will probably not be published in my life time.

[@CapturedInWords]

I'm interested to see what I'll think about them holding up or not, I'll make sure to make a video with my thoughts!

[@caewing85]

I only read the first two books in the series. 😬😳

There should be movies or series made on the inheritance cycle , it is a series as close to the Harry Potter series as possible . The eragon movie that was made was so poorly made , hope they do it justice

[@crueljoke3099]

He was the duechiest character in the series. Why would he get his own book?

[@tylergillmani5567]

Honestly, I had to shelf this book 30% in. It reads as a fetch quest. I think Paolini ran out of money and slopped out a book.

[@keystonelyte]

I hate that Murtagh is pronounced this way according to Paolini; it's an existing Celtic name pronounced Mer-tuh.

[@Connor-jl9gq]

Novermber 7th is going to be very bad for my wallet

[@dmick9168]

I used to love the Inheritance books, but they have not aged well, and I did not care for the last book or ending.

[@CapturedInWords]

I'm interested to see what I think, as I'm a little worried about how I'll like them now after so long. I'm sure they likely don't hold up as well, but for the target audience I think they're probably still a good intro to fantasy
