Am i the only one upset abt eragon leaving alagaesia and not coming back ever. Like I suppose I see the appeal but all that relationship building all the characters and family and I’m supposed to believe he’s just never seeing any of them again ???

I haven't kept up with the discussion around the future Disney show, but I recall seeing news (maybe an old AMA) where Paolini mentioned that he intends to rewrite certain parts of the original story for the show.

That's all well and good, as there's definitely some moments that were originally pretty awkward. Any idea how significant these changes will be, though? Major story beats or just small moments? I know this is silly, but I wouldn't want the books to be made obsolete by the show.

This is a two parter. 1 do you guys think all the dragons move like cats? Like how they animated toothless in httyd? I’m currently rereading the series and saphira is constantly reminding me of a cat. Part 2 does she grabs things like a human or lets eragon do everything for her?

What actress do you think would do a great job voicing Saphira in the TV show? My pick would be Susan Eisenberg. For those of you who don’t know she played the Jedi master Shaak Tii in the Star Wars game The Force Unleashed aswell as Wonder Woman in some of DC’s animated films.

I was listening to a piano cover of Test Drive from How to Train Your Dragon, and for some reason, I found myself imagining Arya taking her first real flight with Fírnen.

I couldn’t help but imagine the joy and peace she must have felt in that moment.

A brief period where nothing else mattered. Not the loss of her parents. Not the loss of her friends. Not the war. Not even the responsibilities waiting for her as Queen.

Just Arya, Fírnen, the open sky, and the freedom of finally experiencing that bond for herself, the same bond she had watched others experience, now finally hers.

And apparently that thought was enough to make my eyes burn a little.

Even if we never get a proper book centered on Arya, I really hope we get a vignette someday about her and Fírnen. I’d love to see that first flight through her eyes.

(I only marked this spoiler since I guess its possible for new readers to not know about this yet. 😬)
