Have fun everyone! I'll start us off with a topic: What got you interested in the Inheritance series?

Wandering lucario November 14th, 2009 12:22 PM

i wish to join please i have all three books

bit.trip void November 17th, 2009 1:12 PM



Joinage plz. What got me interested was that I'd always liked dragons, and after about the first thirty odd pages I was hooked. Can't wait until the next one comes out. Any ~speculations~ on the title? :B

Haruka of Hoenn November 17th, 2009 1:58 PM

Welcome to the club, Delta Vulpix and Jesh!

And the title for the fourth book hasn't been confirmed yet, but:

Spoiler:
This website here: http://www.shurtugal.com/ is the official website of the series, and it says that the title will be something Eragon inherits.

That website is actually a pretty good one. There's an entire forum for speculations, but I'd rather not look through all of them. I'm really obsessive over spoilers, and I'm afraid that someone will *accidentally* guess the right thing.

SolarAbusoru November 17th, 2009 2:01 PM

I'd like to join please, I've read all three books and am waiting patiently for the fourth.
I visit this site: http://www.alagaesia.com/ usually

Haruka of Hoenn November 17th, 2009 2:22 PM

Welcome to the club, SolarAbusoru! And I used to visit that site too, but it's not updated that often. In the other site they actually do monthly interviews with the author, if that interests you.

Oh, and I made these buttons a while ago for those of you who want to advertise the club:

Denali November 26th, 2009 10:18 PM

I'll join up! I'm waiting desperately for the fourth one to come out....

Haruka of Hoenn November 27th, 2009 12:47 PM

Welcome to the club, Denali! I'm really anticipating the fourth book too :P But I'm taking my mind off the book for now by reading Sherlock Holmes. (I've reread the series twice already, and I need to read something else for a change) As soon as the official release date is announced, I'll put it up here.

Denali November 27th, 2009 12:54 PM

What got you interested in the Inheritance series?
Truthfully, I just saw it at the Border's bookstore and bought it.

Circuit November 27th, 2009 1:25 PM

I don't believe this! (well, actually, I knew it'd happen...) I was the owner of the same club topic a while back, but that was very successful, it got seven pages (at least) and was almost always active. Please try and let that happen again, I'd be disappointed if the same club didn't do as well.

In a lighter note, I'll join again, but would like to try and be the co-owner if possible, someone to help run it.

What got you interested in the Inheritance series?
Eragon and Eldest were a Christmas present, and I was hooked. I got Brisingr when it came out, the day it came out, and was the first one to get it in my area. I love the series and cannot wait for the fourth one to be released. Hats off to Chris!

Couldn't agree with you more, Flash! Can't wait for the fourth one to come out!
What book out of the three so far is your favorite and why?

Circuit November 28th, 2009 12:27 AM

In order of favorites, it goes: Eldest, Eragon, Brisingr. Brisingr had half a book dedicated to the coronation of the dwarf's which, don't get me wrong, was rather boring. The book was still good, but it lasted a bit too long in the dwarf's coronation.

Do you think in the fourth book Arya will fall for Eragon?
I'm not sure. She might, but probably not. Chris has made it so certain that she is wrong for Eragon.

Haruka of Hoenn November 28th, 2009 7:32 AM

Flash: That's really interesting that you've run this club before. If you have experience then sure, you can be co-owner. Welcome to the club!

What book out of the three so far is your favorite and why?
My favorite has to be Eldest, because it's a time of change and transition for Eragon. Christopher does really well in developing Eragon's character further and making him more mature than he was in the first book.

Do you think in the fourth book Arya will fall for Eragon?
Yes, but it will be very complicated. (Don't read spoiler unless you've entirely finished all three books.)
Spoiler:

Remember how, in Eldest, Eragon and Arya are sitting under the Menoa Tree, and Blagden shrieks "Wyrda"? Of course, 'wyrda' means fate so that scene definitely has some significance. Then, Arya tells Eragon about the story of the Menoa Tree, and how the elf Linnea sang herself into the tree after stabbing her mate. As a young elf, she never had any interest in love, until one younger elf spoke words of love to her. They were happy for a while, but eventually the male elf betrayed her with someone of his own age.) In this case, Arya is the older elf and Eragon is the younger half-elf/Rider/whatever :P Arya never had any interest in Eragon, then he reveals his feeling for her multiple times.
In Brisingr, Eragon is almost killed by the Menoa Tree, but says that in return for the brightsteel, he will give her anything she wanted. So, the Menoa Tree agrees and lets him go, but didn't tell him what she wanted. In the fourth book, the next dragon egg will hatch. I believe that during this time, Arya will warm up to Eragon and possibly they might develop a relationship. (In Brisingr, Christopher gives clues that Arya might actually like him. Eragon notices that she seemes embarassed when healing him, and can't finish a sentence before he battles with Murtagh)
When the next dragon rider appears, Saphira will fall in love with that male dragon. In Eldest, Saphira tells Eragon that if he falls in love with someone, her feelings would be altered as well. It can work backwards too. When Saphira falls in love with the new dreagon, Eragon might fall in love with the rider, assuming it will be a girl. Then, like Linnea, Arya might feel betrayed by Eragon and possibly do something terrible. I'm not saying she will stab him or sing herself into a tree, but this is just a connection I made while reading. I think that what the Menoa Tree wanted was Arya not to be betrayed by Eragon and suffer the same way she did. The Menoa Tree might have discovered something in his memories that let her know of his feelings for Arya.

Denali November 28th, 2009 8:45 AM

@Haruka of Hoenn - Couldn't agree with you more; Eragon and Arya will fall in love and yada yada, but it's the matter of when.
@Haruka of Hoenn & Flash - Yes, I totally agree with you guys; Eldest is my ultime favorite, then Eragon, and then Brisingr. I chose Eldest first because it has many viewpoints (like Eragon, Nasuada, and Roran - I think it's Roran :)) And it also delves a little into Roran and his adventures.

I made the same connection a while back, but I didn't develop it as much as you have Haruka. I sort of worked it out, then something, can't remember what, popped up and the answer ran away from me. You've done it though, and I'm impressed.

Haruka of Hoenn November 29th, 2009 1:21 PM

Here's a new topic for you guys to answer. (You can go back to an old topic any time if you want to discuss it further)

Do you think Eragon will spare Galbatorix, if at some point he has a chance to kill him and the king is literally at his mercy?
I'm not sure of the answer myself :P I'll wait a bit before answering so I can really think about this one.

Circuit November 29th, 2009 1:25 PM

Do you think Eragon will spare Galbatorix, if at some point he has a chance to kill him and the king is literally at his mercy?
Same Haruka, but my initial thoughts are that Eragon would spare him and let someone else deal with him.

Haruka of Hoenn November 29th, 2009 1:33 PM

Do you think Eragon will spare Galbatorix, if at some point he has a chance to kill him and the king is literally at his mercy?
Spoiler:
Since Eragon spared Sloan instead of killing him, maybe Eragon will do the same for the king. It would be hard to do so, because he would have to incapacitate him so he would no longer post a threat.

It's unlikely though, but I still don't think it would be easy for Eragon to just decide to kill him and get it over with. Then again:

Spoiler:
In the battle between Murtagh and Oromis, Galbatorix tried to recruit him and Glaedr on his side, but said that they would perish when they refused. So, maybe Eragon would have a sudden flashback of the moment, and would have enough hate to kill him.

Denali November 29th, 2009 2:33 PM

Do you think Eragon will spare Galbatorix, if at some point he has a chance to kill him and the king is literally at his mercy?
All very good points; but I think Eragon will kill Galbatorix because Eragon has matured and realized that the only way to really get rid of the threat, Galbatorix, will be to kill him.
Spoiler:

Also, when Galb. killed whats his face dragon master dude; oh yeah, Orgimir? Anyways, when Galb. kills him Eragon will flashback to that moment and kill him!

Circuit December 4th, 2009 1:31 PM

And don't forget:
(do not read unless you have read all three books)
Spoiler:
When Eragon is fighting Galbatorix, he may flash back also to the thought of his uncle Garrow being tortured and killed by the Ra'zac who were working for Galbatorix. Oromis' death would only anger him more.

shot571 December 4th, 2009 2:00 PM

id like to join :) wat got me first interested in eragon was the film. from that i started reading the books and thats about it

Haruka of Hoenn December 4th, 2009 2:33 PM

All right, welcome to the club shot571! I never saw the movie, actually. I might rent it when I get the chance.

Circuit December 5th, 2009 2:03 AM

The movie sucks. It is rubbish and is nothing like the books. Actually, not one bit is the same in the movie as in the book, so if you have read the book, only get the film if you want to see how rubbish and far fetched it is.

Yeah, I've heard bad reviews for it from other fans of the books. I saw the trailer for it and it looked odd... The thing I hate about watching movies about books is that my interpretation of the characters and how they look is way off. (The only movie that was spot-on for my visualizations of the book was Harry Potter.)
Anyway, I might rent it just so I can see it. Then I'll post a lengthy rant here...

Circuit December 6th, 2009 2:49 AM

The only film I've ever watched that is pretty much the moving version of the book is Holes. That film was excellent, and the things they said were the same as well. That was the only good book film for me. Harry Potter is the same, but they cut short a lot of the action. In number 5 the battle with Voldemort could have been a lot longer and better.
