Emily Krajci
Emily Krajci asked Christopher Paolini:

Hi Christopher! What advice would you give to an aspiring writer on world and character building? Did you create your world and story first, and then move onto characters and their individual personalities? Thanks!

Khrystyna
Khrystyna asked Christopher Paolini:

Hi Chris. I just wanted to ask you if you like to travel? I'm hoping I'll have some good luck and maybe meet you sometime, since it's unlikely that you'll visit Croatia for a book promotion :) Otherwise, you made me and my dreams go wild while I was reading Eragon. One who indites a novel as young as you were, deserves incessant praise.

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Christopher Paolini:

In Inheritance, Murtagh is under the control of Galbatorix. He says something along the lines of "I can't even put my boots on without Galbatorix's permission". So how is he visiting Nasuada?
