(Yes, there is already a thread on this but it's months old and thaboss would rather start anew.)

For those of you who don't know, the Inheritance Cycle is a great series of four books about dragons, magic, fighting, castles, kings, and all that good stuff.

There will be spoilers! Be warned.
This is gonna be mostly about Inheritance, the last book.

To put it in short, it was awesome. The Vault of Souls chapter was amazing, and how Eragon killed Galbatorix was pure genius. Made you understand! I really liked how, unlike some other books, after the climax, there actually was a long and satisfying (yet tearful) "falling action." It was great that Arya became the next Rider, and sad that Eragon had to leave Alagaesia. That ending part/page was particularly sad.

The only regrets I had were that Angela didn't play as big a part in Galbatorix's death than I had hoped and nothing more with Tenga happened. I think his question was the name of the Ancient Language. (Which Eragon now knows.) I think it would have been cool if Eragon had stopped by and told him.

Some questions unanswered.

What did the Menoa Tree take?
What were the seven words Brom told Eragon? ( some possibly might be Draumr kopa and/or Waise neiat.)
Who/what is Angela?
Who/what is Tenga? Gray folk descendant? (And can anyone tell me more about these Gray/grey folk?)
Did Angela steal the Belt of Beloth the Wise? (Strong indication.)

End of spoilers

So, what did you think of the series? Anything at all you want to say about it, or any information about upcoming books which may or may not be about Alagaesia.

--side note, if you had a dragon in that world, what would the name/color be?


Male-gold
Female-silver

The name would probably be Skulíoro (scaled arrow)

Darn it!! Curse you no special symbol support AG!! May you leave the internet and never return! (But only when AG3 comes out.)

Skulioro or Fethroro (feathered or possibly feather arrow)

There was supposed to be an "i" with an acute accent mark.

It's called Inheritance, and it came out November 8, 2011, four days ago. Thaboss strongly suggests reading it.

Why did you refer to yourself in the third person?

Is it me, or did this thread get moved?

Anyways, I don't speak the ancient language, but I would want a green dragon, male, whose name would be something that starts with a T that could mean "schorched grass/plants"


Thaboss is part of a club started my MrPockets.

It got moved.

eldrvaryai (burned) laufsblad (leaf)

Eldrvarailaufsblad. That seems like a long name.

So it's over
This time I know it's gone
Saltwater
Tasted it too long

I only know I'm wrong
Now I know it's gone

Up in flames, up in flames, up in flames
We have slowly gone

So it's over
This time you're flying on
This time I know no song
Can stop its lonely burn
Can stop it slowly going

Up in flames, up in flames, up in flames
We have slowly gone
We have slowly gone

Can't we pour some water on?


Thaboss loves reading, but an all-nighter? Seems excessive. But AWESOME. Zakyman will love it.

ok i just read inheritance in about 3 days and idk if i missed it or what but i still don't know what Brom's last 7 words were. If anyone does I'd love to know.
As for what the menoa tree took i think its his ability to have kids since Linnea (the girl in the tree) has something against men

The book never says exactly what they were. There are theories, like advanced words in the ancient language, ect...

That no kid theory seems like the most likely. It just sucks that CP wouldn't flat out say what it was...

... And thanks for spoilers in the OP. :P


Had to... Otherwise people who hadn't read it yet (which there are a LOT) would've gotten angry at thaboss. And he wouldn't have wanted to have their murders on his conscience.

Thaboss apologizes... It was rude.

CP said that he wanted to bring the series back to the "Inherit/Inheritance" concept. Even though the series is called "Inheritance Cycle" he said he heard it being called "Eragon series" too many times and wanted to bring it back to what it was actually called. Thaboss thinks he read that in some sort of interview from [url]http://shurtugal.com[/url]
