Paolini Palace(that sounds so cheesy) - the Never-Ending Inheritance Cycle *spoilers 4 u who havn't finished all*

[Hannah, Don't TOUCH my Title Klymy.]

Talk about the inheritance cycle...

[Emily]

I never finished the third one... I almost finished it. I had maybe 4 chapters left and kind of didn't care if I finished it or not. But I did really like the first book.

[Siareen]

never ending... so true
the fourth book is finally coming out though!

[Naomi]

when is it coming out? do you know the date? i only like the first and the second. the third was dumb and im only reading the fourth when it comes out to know how it ends.

[Ingrid]

I tried the first one, but I couldn't finish it. I just couldn't get through it.

[Siareen]

i used to like it, but i started rereading them, and there are so many things that just dont make sense.
like how eragon learns how to sword fight and beats a few masters and learns a whole new language in a matter of months...
also, its so obvious to see where he gets all his ideas from.

though i guess i shouldnt really say anything. i probably cant do much better. he was pretty young for a published author after all

[Hannah, Don't TOUCH my Title Klymy.]

I couldn't finish one the first try.

Then a couple years later I attempted again and got through it. So I've read all three. but it's been awhile so I've lost bits and pieces in my head.... @(^_^)@

Seriously it's like a redone-with-some-diferences combo of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I mean...yeah there are some unique things...but I could give you lists of how they are EXACTLY the same. and I will produce them if you so desire

[Rebekah Faith]

I've read all three and really just want Inheritance to come out so I can finish the series.

[Naomi]

i know how you feel rae, i want the 4th to come out just so i can read it and be done.

[Rebekah Faith]

I mean its not really all that good, but at least Paolini's characters have SOME depth to them.

[Naomi]

yeah, i guess they do. i like arya, even though shes too perfect. i like katrina better though.

[Rebekah Faith]

I'm not familiar with the side characters at the moment. Was she a girl in Eragon's village?

[Katerina, Mother Gothel's Cake]

Yup, the one his cousin likes

[Rebekah Faith]

Thats right. I remember her now.

[Siareen]

ya. i like Katrina too :)

i would put in 'Wheel of Time' to the list too.
he definately based it off that as well

[Rebekah Faith]

I've never read/heard about that one, Sia. What's it about?

[Siareen]

its a really really long series written by Robert Jordan. very classic, heavy epic fantasy.
lord of the rings sorta genre...
the author died before writing the last book, but now someone else is doing it instead of him.

it reminds me of Eragon because the main characters come from a small town that is split off from the rest of the world by a huge forest [or is it river?], like Carvahall is [sp?]
there are a few other things too but i cant remember them. heres a link:

Okay Okay I think you may enjoy this:

Bunch of articles and a video.

[Irene]

I agree with you all about it being similar to other books with a few unique ideas. I have another series to add to your 'based off if' list, Suzanne Collins' first series that nobody really knows about: Underland Chronicles. Eragon is very much like her main character and the abilities are similar.

[Katerina, Mother Gothel's Cake]

Oh! You've read the Underland Chronicles? I actually really, really liked them. When I was that age, of course.

[Irene]

Yes, when they were age appropriate (they would probably bore me now). I liked them and that's why I marked the hunger game 'to read' even before the craze hit, most of her writting is good, but isn't the main character (Gregory maybe?) Alot like Eragon in his skills (actually the other way around since she was first).

[Katerina, Mother Gothel's Cake]

Gregor. Kinda I guess. Gregor's only major skill is the one where he goes into a blood rage, or something. That is kinda like Eragon's skills I guess

[Hannah, Don't TOUCH my Title Klymy.]

Okay so has anyone read Inheritance besides me?

--

I still haven't read Gregor

[Irene]

Nope, sorry. I don't want to fork up 30$ for something I'll never read again and I haven't gotten my hands on the libary copy yet.


I was reffering to that and some of the major events (how they influence) , they both pick up skills really fast and what is it that Eragon does during battles where it's like the blood rage?

[Hannah, Don't TOUCH my Title Klymy.]

hehe. that's why I borrowed my friends copy. no worries its was iffy.
something like that

[Rebekah Faith]

My brother's read it already, but I'm gonna wait until MY hold comes in on it since I have so many other books to read right now.

[Naomi]

i have it but still havent had time to read it. my brother and dad read it already and i know what happens in the end anyway, so i'm not in any rush. i also want to re-read the first three before i read it and i really dont have time to do that now...

[Hannah, Don't TOUCH my Title Klymy.]

I have way to many. To tell the truth when I borrowed Inheritance I read like 3 other books at the same time because it's SO BIG

[Irene]

Okay, so I actually just finished Inhertiance and I have to say well done Paolini. His writing matured and his characters/events diversified and became his own unique story.
