Can Christopher Paolini Remember His Own Books?

[@jaspervormschlag]

I loved how he said "I hope I wrote this, it's nice" and it was his

[@msreedaran89]

I also rushed through reading Inheritance and that was the toughest one to remember. Really looking forward to rereading it some day but first, Murtagh! Thank you Christopher Paolini for crafting an amazing world and characters.

My problem was that I re-read the first three books before Inheritance came out, in preparation. Then I read a portion of Inheritance, set it down because I didn't want it to be over, and didn't pick it up again for YEARS. To this day, I've probably read Eragon, Eldest, and Brisngr a half dozen times each, but Inheritance only once. It's so fuzzy in my mind. I remember basically nothing except they keyest of key plot points (e.g., hello Firnen). Just over halfway through Murtagh, and I'm getting "I don't want to finish!" anxiety again, but I am NOT PUTTING IT DOWN. 🤣

I read the Inheritance Cycle as a very small child, probably a couple times from the ages of 7-12 but now, at age 20, I sat down a month ago and decided to re-listen to them because of the release of Murtagh and it has been a wonderful experience, highly recommend. I finished Brisingr yesterday.

[@EthanSchaefer-ys7bc]

I started reading the series when I was 11 and finished four in one year and then the next year I found out about the fork the witch and the worm then I recently reread all of them in anticipation for Murtaugh. So it is still fresh enough in my mind.

[@dragonboyy15]

Impressive how many of the ones not from him he got right!

[@yehlichi5727]

I remember the inheritance cycle word by word at this point

[@Ayah.Papaya]

Same!

[@awsomerykster1097]

I can imagine thorn and saphira *hating* dragons love tacos

[@notengospacebar]

To be fair, i barely remember what i had for breakfast the day previous 😂

[@The_dragonqueen]

Absolutely loved this.

[@Ayah.Papaya]

Ok but does anyone else LOVE when Murtaugh saw the gilded lily in Murtaugh, and he was so confused? I felt so smart- hehehe I know how the gilded lilies came to be. ( also I like how Arya is correct in saying that it could reproduce)

[@mildlydazed9608]

or the flying grass boat early in the book and it makes him happy someone so whimsical is in the world

[@Ayah.Papaya]

@@mildlydazed9608 yes! I loved that part so much!

[@mildlydazed9608]

@@Ayah.Papaya It makes the world feel so much bigger than one book or even a setting for a series the characters get to live in the world it's so good!

[@Ayah.Papaya]

@@mildlydazed9608 yeah! I feel like it really connects the eragon and murtaugh, which is one reason why the books are so good. You can tell that the characters DON'T know everything, yet the reader knows more than most. You can see that the characters that exist go on with their lives, even if we don't see them, and I adore that.

[@RishaanKumar-jn7qx]

3:10 that one was so easy that is like for some reason saphira’s most memorable quote, she said it when she almost breathed fire on eragon and said oops

[@Thebookandbeveragereview]

So much respect.

[@PAWfessionalTennis]

2:23 Omg! I literally just read the last few chapters of the hobbit some 20 minutes ago and now randomly watched this video see this quote again haha I immediately thought 'wait, didn't I literally just read that phrase in Spanish?'

[@nagdeolife]

I just finished To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, and wondering if there will be a sequel. He definitely left an opening for one.

[@CharlieBaker4470]

I’ve read the Inheritance Cycle 7 times in a row, and even I need to reread Inheritance!

[@snakeman48]

I listened to Murtagh twice. I always picked up on the clues dropped early in the story that have meaning later on the second listen. (Audible)

[@rileybush7129]

Dude what the heck happened during Inheritance?? Lol

[@arya0553]

Brisingr was originally supposed to be the last book. Eragon was supposef to be a trilogy, but while writing Brisingr Paolini decided that he wanted to explore the characters more and split the series in four. That meant, that he had to explore some new plotlines to make Inheritance longer. That‘s why the last one‘s tone is a Little different from the other books. And that‘s why he doesn’t remember everything so well🤣

[@peternaus3934]

People are so critical of Paolini without just cause. Bro is a hero. Paolini >

[@whitewolf1897]

I want book Galbatorix and book Oromis and book Brom and continue Eragon.

[@lazer8488]

Hello! Please tell me, will Murtagh ever be published in Russia? There are a lot of Christopher Paolini fans in our country who love his works! I would really like Russian fans to be able to read a wonderful book from the world of Eragon, which all the fans of the world have been waiting for for 12 years! (Sorry for my bad English)

[@jameswg13]

At the moment very unlikely for many reasons

[@elliotkamper]

Russia gets only malice and spite while the war rages.

[@nagdeolife]

Your English is prefect.

[@eduardofreitas8336]

man, if its not acessible, just pirate it. I have two sets of Inheritance, will for sure buy all the new books, and I forgive you for your sins. There, no guilt now.

[@whitewolf1897]

Erogon next book Engagement??

Not to sound rude. But get writing boy. We need more. No sleep. No fun just writing

[@cristinawood9001]
