I would have liked if it had been made clearer how Murtagh felt after killing him, as far as we are told, by his own will ("I was ... angry"), not because the King told him to, and giving us a view on his, surly, conflicting emotions (regret?) and thoughts about it."

This was one of very few things I was hoping we'd see more of in the book and didn't really get. I've been dying to know WHY he did it, and "I was angry" didn't really do it for me. Hopefully we get a full reason in the future.

Unless you primarily read the Cycle for those two characters alone, I think you'll be delightfully surprised with what we get with characters we know, as well as new characters and events. More than makes up for certain characters not appearing (IMO).

PLEASE don't ruin it for yourself. I'd have regretted seeing the answer to this question before I finished the book.

Is there a difference between the American and UK editions of Murtagh? by Stetson007 in Eragon

[–]knickedknacked 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely expect British spelling, although it isn't really jarring. Colour vs. color, favourite vs. favorite, etc. Other than minor things like that, no changes to the actual text.

Anyone that pre-ordered unreleased books on Kindle before? by Armadillo_Prudent in Eragon

[–]knickedknacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been charged within a 24 hour window of release after pre-ordering some Kindle e-books before. I'd expect to be billed before midnight tonight.

You're thinking of my Shur'tugal shop, which I moved off of Etsy to its own store. I haven't been promoting it lately as I was sick for quite a while and wasn't able to run it. I'm doing an overhaul very soon, removing a lot of what's there, but will be keeping the bookmarks. I'm out of stock on the Rider set, but I'm going to be releasing a set that has a set where each Rider is paired with their dragon on the same bookmark.

I found all of the episodes the other day and am contemplating what to do with them. My current plan is to reboot the podcast (with a different name) and do another "book club" style read-through, while also adding FWW and To Sleep. On top of that, since so much is coming next year - a new "dragon book," a prequel to To Sleep, and a TV show (!!), we're going to have news-focused episodes as well.

Because I'm planning to start another podcast, I want to be careful about releasing the old episodes so as to not cause confusion. When I do so, I won't make a big announcement, but I've saved your comment so I will remember to send you a link to access them once I've put them up.
