Paolini Strikes Again

[Tariel]

Mr. I-Can't-Wait-Until-My-Book-Comes-Out-In-September-to-tell-everybody-what-happens-in-my-novel-as-if-the-plot-wasn't-obvious-enough
has struck again. On his website, there is an announcement about something that will happen in book three. Since he already gave away the ending in an interview, I clicked on it.


Oh, and some good news [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]From his website: "Once the Inheritance cycle is finished, Christopher plans to take a long vacation...."

Thank goodness. Maybe he'll grow up a little before he writes anything else.

In Brisingr, book 3 of the Inheritance Cycle, Eragon will meet a god.

Hmm....who could it be? I have a feeling this "god" will give Eragon even more powers than he already has--as if being the best at everything wasn't good enough...

You know, I may not be published at this point, but if/when I become so, I'm not going to be publishing novel-spoilers on the internet.

Anyone else fail to see the point in this? I mean, I guess in SOME cases it could pique interest, but you can do that without spoilers...in my opinion.

 

[sunstruckdream]

Maybe he'll inherit the powers of the sexy-dance to make Arya love him at last.

(See the 3-5 Word Epic if this confuses you.)


EDIT:
...This was supposed to quote Lessien's post...

 

[Lessien]

Yeah....actually, the best way to get people excited about something is to tell them NOTHING. NOT give away the ending of a book.

 

[sunstruckdream]

...Anyone else feel like Brisingr needs some more vowels before it's pronouncable or sightly on the page?

Sorry. Just a nit.

 

[Lessien]

Let's see....

Bri-sing-r.

Bris-n-gr.

Brsngr.

It's SWEDISH!

 

[Doubtless]

Hi guys. Been away for a while, but when I saw this topic, I just knew I had to post.

Brisingr ... means fire ... what an original name for a book.

Meet a god ... in a fantasy book ... ... Paolini must be excited.

Anyone but me have the feeling Paolini doesn't know what he's doing?

I thought about reading book 3, just to actually have been able to have read something again (I haven't read a fictional book in over three months ), but then I realized:

Crime never pays.

 

[Tariel]

I thoroughly plan to read book three and book four; if only for more material

And yeah, I totally agree about posting spoilers before your book is released.

 

[Tariel]

Have any of you read the back cover plot synopsis for Brisingr? Apparently there's "one devastating death" *crosses fingers for Arya* and conflict. It's also "Rich with a thoughtful examination of Eragon's maturing psyche."

 

[sunstruckdream]

It's also "Rich with a thoughtful examination of Eragon's maturing psyche."

Ohh, man...I'll have to read it now, if only to add to my comedy repetoire.

If it's Roran's "devastating death" I will go burn some cities. Or laugh.

 

[Lessien]

"one devastating death"

Ar-ya! Ar-ya! Ar-ya!

"Rich with a thoughtful examination of Eragon's maturing psyche."

Eragon has a psyche?

 

[Tariel]

Eragon has a psyche?

Paolini thinks he does, and that's all that matters

Spoiler: in my dreams

I hope Arya dies!

 

[sunstruckdream]

The use of 'Eragon' and 'Psyche' in the same sentence disturbs me. I have a character named Psyche in one of my projects, and I adore her. I resent the connection. How dare they try to make one!

 

[Lessien]

I'm just kind of hung up on the "maturing" part because apparently, Paolini's idea of having a character mature is as follows:

Step 1: Have mentor die.
Step 2: Have character fight in battle.
Step 3: Say that aftermath of said battle doesn't affect character. Never mind that this is his first time seeing so much carnage and there are some people who can't even look at a (fake) picture of a decapitated chupacabra without having the image haunt their dreams--and these are people who've seen Passion of the Christ and Batman Begins, which are heavy on the blood and violence, respectively.
Step 4: Have character contemplate vegetarianism.
Step 5: Show character naked people. Never mind that character is 15 and seeing two naked elvish girls....well, you get the picture.

Congratulations! Your character is now mature.

Sounds remarkably like "How to make the ultimate teenage boy" to me. But as the local Paolini optimist, I'm seriously hoping for some thing good out of this, one out my sincere hopes was that his next book would show a maturity further from that of "Oh! I would like SOOO do that! Next Chapter, Eragon does!" I'm hoping maybe old Chris finally got a little more mature. If not...yeah...

On other notes, I heard that when asked about his diet (Paolini, not Eragon's) he answered "I'm not vegetarian, but I lean that way.". Wow, how "art kid" does that make him sound?!

Seriously, you LEAN that way? So you what, eat burgers on THURSDAYS? And OCCASIONALLY eating animals is better than OFTEN eating them HOW?

Yeesh boy, grow up, be a man, eat beef.

 

[Lessien]

You are SO getting repped for that.....

Seriously, there's nothing artistic about being a vegetarian. I mean, does eating only veggies make you more creative or something?

 

[Tariel]

Eating veggies doesn't make me more creative. If anything, it works the other way. I can't write without meat

 

[sunstruckdream]

I can't write without meat

I've honestly never heard that before. That was hilarious!!
