`Inheritance’ series will now be 4 books
I hate this kid…nooo I don’t. I’m just jealous that he was a best selling author at the age of 19, and got a three-book deal that was since converted to a four-book deal.
Christopher Paolini’s million-selling “Inheritance” fantasy series, was originally planned to be a trilogy, but has been extended to now include four books in the series.
The first two books, Eragon
Paolini said, “I plotted out the `Inheritance’ series as a trilogy… when I was 15. At that time, I never imagined I’d write all three books, much less that they would be published,”
“When I finally delved into Book Three, it soon became obvious that the remainder of the story was far too big to fit in one volume. … In order to be true to my characters and to address all of the plot points and unanswered questions Eragon and Eldest raised, I needed to split the end of the series into two books.”

I hate this kid. Some people simply don’t know when to stop being popular. Sure it would be easier if he was a bad writer… But noooo, his books had to be good… *headdesk*

I think it’s good that he’s gotten his success. Although his first novel was mostly cliche, the second one was a little better… I only wish to obtain the success he’s had…
Someone go get me some publisher’s son/nephew and I’ll arm wrestle him to read my book! LOL…
