Paolini's Brisingr of the Inheritance series came out recently. What are your thoughts on the series and book? For those that have read it, What was the biggest shocker, Use spoiler tags if you are going to explain it in detail. What do you think of Paolini's making it four books instead of three?

 

I have heard no such rumors. Sounds retarded though. I could maybe see one book, but to make it a trilogy would be retarded. I would much rather see Brom's or Oromis's history.

 

I got it Sree. Thought you where being serious, What with Paolini being a whore and making it four books instead of three. And just so you know Star war ripped off something, That something most Ripped off something else, ETC. -_- It's how this shit works.

 

Yeah but most of the time they don't rip off the ENTIRE story. Usually only a few points.

 

There is ass-loads of stuff not in Star wars that is in this. Poytin, Have you read the series or are you just taking stuff from what others said, Oh shi-.

 

I hated Eldest and stopped. Arya was such a mary-sue, I thought the author was in love with her. So my option isnt in the poll: Didn't get it and hate it.

 

I'm not planning on reading it, having been disgusted by the sheer gall of Paolini as he ripped off both Lucas and Tolkien literally wholesale. Really, more amazing than his plagiarism is the fact that he apparently has gotten away with it so far.

To those who have read it/are, how closely does it follow the plot of Return of the Jedi?

 

Exactly. There's a plot summary floating around the internet somewhere comparing Star Wars and Inheritance. I'll see if I can find it.

Hopefully Paolini has learned something since Eldest. I read that Obi-wan is actually Luke's father instead of Darth Vader.

 

..... You need a life Sree >_>

Without giving spoilers away I lol at like half of the stuff you said. Not going to say what stuff but what we knew in the second book is almost thrown out the window when the 'Real' Answers appear. And it wasn't one Dragon rider her recruited it was like thirteen.

Edit: Nefar its the same as the Harry potter one...... Hmmmm Harry Potter..... /me looks at all the stuff Sree listed then at Harry Potter. -_-

 

Overall I love this series even if it is copied off of others. Fuck this is much more entertaining I think then star wars.


Edit:::

How can you compare luke blowing up the death star to Eragon killing Durza. I mean they are 2 totally different things besides the fact they were important to both universes.

 

Lots of explosions, And the giant rose thing blew up, Thats the best I can think of to compare them.

 

I know not how to use a spoiler tag Jolly Rancher, I am deeply sorry for this. Seriously I am, can someone perhaps teach me how?

 

I found that summary. Much lulz at those who say the first two books aren't a straight lift.

Spoiler

A boy of foggy origins lives with his uncle in a remote place of a vast empire headed by an evil Emperor and his right hand man, who was once prominent in an ancient order of guardians with mystical powers.

Through fate or luck, depending on your point of view, this boy comes into the possession of an object vital to a rebellion against the Empire; this object was inadvertently sent to him by a princess in the rebellion, who had attempted to send said object to an old man who once belonged to the same order of guardians as the Emperor’s right-hand man.

This boy seeks the old man to learn of the ways of this ancient order, but eventually has to return to his uncle’s farm, which, the boy finds, has been destroyed by fire, and his uncle killed. The boy then sets off with the old hermit, who also gives him a sword which belonged to his father. As they travel, they train. The boy meets up with a rogue who is full of surprises, but turns out to be fiercely loyal, for all his proclaimed selfishness. The boy also begins "seeing" a beautiful woman imprisoned and in need of help.

The boy decides that he needs to rescue her, even though he doesn't know her; further, he thinks of her only as beautiful (Luke's first words are, "Who is she? She's beautiful?" Eragon can't stop thinking about her beauty). Long story short, the old hermit dies to protect the boy, the boy and the rogue help the beautiful damsel escape.

They then set off to the rebellion to give important information and return the object which the princess had sent the boy. They were followed by the Empire, and prepare for a giant battle that will either save the rebellion or annihilate them.

The boy proves his worth with heroics during the battle, but his crowning achievement is his destruction of a noun of much power that has the ability to destroy lots of things. The boy is aided in this by one of his friends, who arrives at precisely the right moment.
The boy is lauded a hero.

The boy has a hallucination of a powerful master who can teach him more of the ancient order. The boy travels to the powerful master to learn the ways of the ancient order's mystical power. While there, he grows very powerful. While he is away, the Rebellion regroups in a new area.

Just when the boy is on a roll with his training, and has grown very powerful, he has a vision of his friends in great danger. He decides he must go to help them. His master warns him not to go. The boy promises that he will return. He leaves.

He finds his friends just in time and is able to distract the enemy so that his friends will remain safe. He finds out that his father was the right-hand man of the Emperor--his father was the one who betrayed the ancient order and helped kill them.

The boy is shocked and ultimately defeated, but not killed. He finds out that someone dear to him has been taken by evil people, and promises to find this person.

Also, two seconds of searching the Support forum told me spoilers are [spoiler.][/.spoiler] without the periods.

 

Nefar you whore, Almost none of that applies past book two. So it is pointless, I admit yes Paolini is a plagiarizing cock bite in books 1-2 but he has broken that habit. And since Sree already called me a Paolini fanboy, Lets see you write a award winning book at 16.
