Travis’s comments from the Inheritance Cycle group.

I know what you guys mean. George RR Martin recently announced "A Dance With Dragons" is being published this summer. A book I have been waiting several years for, so I decided to give Paolini a shot and there it was on the front page. Sad part I thought it was April Fools at first, then realized it was posted on 3/23/11. I couldn't believe a week went by without finding out. Maybe they save the press tell the actual publication.

Maybe it's lost in the threads, but how is no one talking about the announcement of the last book? It's called "Inheritance" and will be out in November!

There were some good parts but ultimately this book let me down. I mean the re-match between Eragon and Murtagh was so weak. And the build up to the death was dumb, I saw it coming a mile away. I liked Eragon, really liked Eldest but Brisingr didn't do it for me to much. I gotta say I like Roran much more than I like Eragon. Eragon has one little fight then disappears the rest of the book (happended in Eldest too) and Roran is left to fight with no dragon and still kicks but. Seriously his chapters are what made Eldest great, and they helped Brisingr. But did it really need 700 pages for the events that happened? The two perks of the book for me were the Ra Zac chapters and Roran's chapters but Eragon was an idiot in this book. I hate the way the Dragon's think. They're these super magical and wise beings but they can't call humans humans and elfs elfs they have to call them by the shape of their ears? What? And there's only one book left and we still haven't met the freaking villian! He's gonna meet the guy and kick his but in one swoop, so I guess book 4 should be good but book 3 was just to fatten Paolini's wallet.
