Christopher Paolini's Reviews > Murtagh

I’m SO excited for this!!

This is the equivalent of giving like to your own comments...but you introduced me to dragons and I owe you a lot, will gladly read it.

I wonder if the ¨Big Fish¨ is one of the magic animals on vorgurad and if so is murtagh living or going to the dragon city of old

The amount of exited I am is ridiculous.

i’m starting a countdown to november 7th now

I can't wait to read this!

CAN’T WAIT!!! Rereading the original series just for this!

SCREAMING 🎉🔥👏

My childhood is coming alive before my eyes again. I’m so excited for November- the best birthday gift ever. Between this and Bookshops and Bonedust, I am absolutly thrilled to bits

Finally from a favorite author.

this is my superbowl

I am so excited.

So excited! I can’t wait!!!

Did my mans really five star his own book?

I went to your book signing at the Phoenix zoo when I was a kid and blurted out something like 'please don't kill Murtagh' and I was so embarrassed afterward. Thanks for keeping him alive all these years

I can hear the fan girls screaming. (Ofc I'm screaming too)

I love to see authors reading their own books. As an author myself, I read the final copy of my book at least four times before publishing it. (And that doesn't count reading through all the earlier drafts.)

Will content be similar age-appropriate level as Inheritance Cycle? Just reread them at same time as my 12 year old and hoping Murtagh will be similar content so he can read it too.

A biased review…but I will forgive you ;) just started reading, and I am thrilled to return to an old favorite world! :)

Thanks Christopher, I just finished this and still reeling through all the feelings. An amazing addition to the world of Alagaesia. All the best for the next entries.

I love that you just reviewed your own book 🤣 Murtagh was SO good. It took me right back to Alagaesia. I have to reread The Inheritance Cycle every few years, so I’ll probably obviously have to add Murtagh in with those😆

I cannot wait to read Murtagh! He's my favourite character! I am just re-reading the previous books first! I'm about halfway through Brisingr! 🔥

Full honest disclosure;
I heard about this release, andcwas excited but put it on the back burner due to other priorities. Now that I see it is a continuation of The Inheritance Cycle (not a fan of cycles) and not a standalone story, I am less enthused. I always saw "Inheritance as the story of Eragon. Now that that story has reached a conclusion(?), telling the story of other characters doesn't seem to have any inherent connection other than being in the same setting. It's the same reason I couldn't read anything after "Dune:Messiah", there seemed to be no point or purpose in telling the story after Paul was not in it, since he was established as the lynchpin character in both the plot development and the interplay of characters.
I'll read "Murtagh" with hope, but not with as much enthusiasm.
"May the wind rise to meet you,
May the sun be at your back,
And may you catch your prey napping."

Big fish is legit. Can confirm.

This is definitely at the top of my tbr list!!! :)

Such a fantastic story. Everything I wanted it to be after the inheritance cycle!!! Come sign books and do a tour in South Carolina please!!!!

Definitely liked it, just parts of it reminded me of the smaller book you did that had Murtagh in it. But you really outdid Murtagh. Glad that he got a story too!

Christopher, I hope you can make it to the Ft. Lauderdale area someday. We spoke for the first time when I was 16 (Oy. 20 years ago) on Rebecca Kochender Home School phone chat and you gave me writing advice. I’ve also got letters that you wrote back to me from 2003/2004 and I’m a proud owner of a signed first edition of the Self-Published edition of Eragon. I also just put in some orders from Conley’s books that I am looking forward to adding to my collection. Thank you so much for all these wonderful years! I added you on Goodreads and I did have a question for you if that’s okay?

Dear Christopher,

I don’t use social media but I would like to tell you and your fans how amazing Conley’s Books and Music are and what a wonderful service you have going with them.

Firstly, thank you so much for signing my two books, I love them! Second, Conley’s packaged them beautifully for me and shipped them so fast. I was incredibly surprised to have them arrive as fast as they did.

Congratulations on your new release. Thanks so much for signing and thank you to Conley’s Books and Music for their incredible customer service and making me very happy.

Best wishes to you all,

Jared

Christopher, I just finished reading Murtagh and I am just in awe of the entire thing! Murtagh and Thorn are the best and I cannot wait for their next adventure! I just posted my full review if you want to check it out!

Thoroughly enjoying this read as much as those that came before. Another masterpiece! Thank you, Christopher, for the time you spend in sharing with us your brilliant creativity.
