Saddly, he said he ended the Inheritance Series, and is going to do other books about the Rider before the Dragon Rider Fall, and one that is only about the other characters in Alegasha.
Yes.
Christopher Paolini originally made it a trilogy but at the end of book 3 (Brisiner) he says there will be a fourth book.
Tolkein. Heavily. He credits him in his books. Among the various accusations of plagiarism Tolkein ranks quite highly on the list of authors that Paolini allegedly rips off. The fourth Star ars film is also pretty high on that list, as the plot of Eragon reads incredibly similarly to it, along with many film critics making the comparisson upon the release of the film. But, Star Wars rips off The Hidden Fortress, so the credit for that story just keeps on going back.
3 It was 3 but there was too much for him to fit in 3 books so now there will be 4. =] Yes, Christopher needs more room to write, so its not a Trilogy now.
He intends to continue writing about events in Alagaesia, but Eragon's story is more or less finished, and the Inheritance cycle complete. Many speculate that he will write about dragon riders in training to Eragon and their repopulation of the continent as the ultimate peace-keepers.
There will be a total of four books in The Inheritance Cycle. Christopher Paolini has advised that he still intends to continue writing after this, but it will be with a different storyline and most likely some new sets of characters. He hasn't ruled out bringing some old characters back.
At the moment, no. There were a total of four books in the Eragon series.
No, Eragon does not die in the 4th book. However, he leaves Alagaesia forever and never returns, as Angela the herbalist told him in the first book in Teirm.well no galbitorix dies because eragon defetes him.Then eragon leaves in a wooden box.
We don't know yet, but he is still maddly in love with her.
No one's sure, he's hasn't set a date yet but my guess is since it takes him four years to write his books - about 2012 or so.
No, there was a lot of speculation that it was because of the names of the first two books. They were both six letters and started with the letter E. By this logic, the title 'Empire' would have been very fitting. Eragon fans world wide were referring to the third book as 'Empire' in forums everywhere. However, too everyone's surprise, when the real title of the book came out, it was called 'Brisngr'. This is the word for fire in Paolini's ancient language.
BIGGER than the universe... if christopher paolini does a good job, that is
