"It’s a shame that the AI cover art conversation is likely going to dominate the discourse surrounding this book and hinder its overall success, because this is Paolini’s tightest, most mature, most thought-provoking, and overall best work to date. Da"

"I said in my review of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars that Paolini had found a way to make sci-fi approachable for even non-sci-fi readers and he's done it again. Only this time he takes it further. This book is immersive: the constant THUD, the hard hit"

My questions: 1: What is your inspiration?
2. If you weren't a writer what would you be?
3. A favourite author?
4. How is your new sci-fi novel going?
5. Any motivation for young author out in the world?
Hello, Paolini, can you answer some of these questions?You know I'm 11 and I have written three books and now I am starting a magazine from my company too and you know in my magazine we have each week an interview with a celebrity/ famous person. I thought, how about start with a person like you. I really hope you can consider this, thank you so much!
hello its cobie rahn and I just finished reading the series for the 11th time and I will be sending out a letter to you this Friday.
hi its cobie rahn and i have read the Inheritance Cycle 9 times already and i am continuing to read the series again.
