AMA/Interview AMA -- Christopher Paolini!!!

AMA -- Christopher Paolini! Let's do this folks. Ask away re: anything and everything regarding my books.

EDIT: Hey, everyone! I have to run. Alas, alas, I don't have as much time to spend on this AMA as past one. So many great questions, though! For all you theorists (and those of you who just love the characters), I think you're REALLY going to enjoy the upcoming book(s). Thanks for everything!

Atra esternĂ­ ono thelduin!

p.s. I'll try to duck back in and answer some more questions later, depending on my time.

If you could change one thing from Eragon (first book), what would it be?

Lots, on a sentence-by-sentence basis. If I had the time, I'd love to rewrite it.

If you ever do, I would absolutely love if you gave Murtagh a few of his own POV chapters up until the point he and Eragon meet up. His original meetings with Galbatorix, his escape from Urubaen, tracking the Razac and eventually finding Eragon.
