Every time a fan complains about the eragon movie christopher paolini does a push up

I'm from Daniel's channel! This is super cool, the interview on his side is super cool, and I want to see more content like this!!! Thank you!

A famous author interviewing an aspiring author. I think imma buy both books now. We need more of this.

That pause at 1:33, I was half expecting him to ask "What language do your trees speak?"

Hi Chris, Eragon was what first got me into fantasy as a kid, I used to build LEGO Saphiras and Eragons and loved the books! I can’t wait for To Sleep!

My childhood hero interviewing my favourite KZfaqr. Strike that off the bucket list

I knew chris was lifting like years ago, i didn't realize he bulked to mountain size, definitely jelly of your gains.

Christopher poalini you’re a legend, u helped me to rediscover a creative side of my self and I hope I will one day write my own book. You will always be a power in a place in my heart as well as in my thoughts and if I were able to get the chance to meet you I hope I could find words to express my sincere gratitude towards you with out being oppressive in my praise or to modest because I feel you deserve it, thank you.

"Sometimes you have to learn to fly on the way down." Sage words.

Someone finally interviewed Daniel Greene so he wouldn't have to do it himself when he publishes xD And that someone is a cool published fantasy author yay

I always forget that Chris is really artistic. Didn't he draw the cover of the original eragon book? Because I swear it's still one of the most iconic fantasy covers!!!

Great interview. As a first time fantasy writer, I found this very helpful. I’m so glad I came across Paolini from Greene’s channel. He’s really generous on fantasy writing tips.

Hope we get to see Daniels book come to fruition someday! Sounds interesting

I didn't even know you had a KZfaq channel until I got recommended this after watching Daniel Greene interview you on his channel. Inheritance was the first major fantasy series I started on my own (my mom read me many of the classics before that). I'm so grateful to you for your work. I'm looking forward to your new book. Atra esterni' ono thelduin , mor' rana li'fa unin hjarta onr, un du evari'nya ono varda. :)

Thank you for telling us all about Atomic Rockets. Honestly the technology has been the hardest part for me to describe and this just saved my life for the editing process. And dammit if you didn't come off so cool that I gotta go back and finish Inheritance and get To Sleep when it comes out!

I listened to the inheritance cycle on audio on my way to and from work for 7 months. When it was done I seriously had to grieve. It was hard saying goodbye to all of my friends that were with me for so long!! Love those books. Excited to read your next book! Also love Daniel, this was a fun interview!

Absolutely loved the first part, can't wait to watch this. I look forward to all things TSIASOS related!

I watch both of these channels, and have been waiting for this segment.

I’m a huge fan of both these fine fellows (Christopher gave me my love for fantasy with Inheritance and Daniel keeps me updated on fantasy nowadays) so I loved this. Thank you both!

Dude I'm so excited for this new book. Whats coming next? More eragon and rebuilding of the riders? 🤞

I started reading Eragon as a 14 year old, being super inspired to start writing my own fantasy novel. I begun creating my world, inspired by my own country, Sweden. This year, my first novel was published and it has been going better than I thought. I will always be grateful for the Inheritance cycle, all the wonderful time it gave me, the discussions I had with friends and how it inspired me into becoming a writer. I'm looking forward to read To Sleep in a Sea of Stars.

I feel you two could be good friends.

Great interview!

Yay! I started my journey with genre with Eragon... And herę is a chanell of CP. I hope new book will be available soon in my country too. Cheers from Poland (sorry about English).

Love your videos, and I’d love it if you did these more often

Definitely enjoyed both interviews.

i love both of you so much! such a great interview! can’t wait for your newest books :)

Loved the first chat on Daniel channel bring on this one!!!

When I was a kid I got my hands on Eragon books 1-3 and I really enjoyed them but I was never able to get book 4. Finally just finished reading the entire series and it was just as good as I remembered and I honestly loved how the fight with Galbatorix concluded. I genuinely wasn't sure how they were going to win and I think it was a fitting end.

This was really cool, as a fan of both and my first discovery of your channel!

Enjoyed the discourse. Great to listen to while making dinner. Can’t wait for more content from both of you

Found this from Daniel's channel. The Inheritance series is one of my favorite. I read and grew up with the books. Super excited to hear you're releasing a new book soon. I can't wait to read your stories again.

Eragon introduced me to fantasy. I will forever be grateful! 💕

Eragon is my favorite saga, thank you Christopher to do it. Is magnificent

Amazing interview on writing between a establish author and a aspiring writer. I would also like to thank Paolini for opening English fiction to me, Eldest was the first book I completed in English (because the french translation did not existe yet ). I will always remember being puzzle by words like "gaze" until I incorporated them into my personal vocabulary. In many way Eldest and the rest of your series was a important stepping stone in my understanding of English. Now I read more English book then french one ! Thank again! I have pre-order your new book and have high expectation that I am certain you will meet. (I am still very bad at spelling so sorry for the likely mistake).

This was a fantastic conversation!! Thank you, Christopher and Daniel! I hopped over after watching your fascinating chat about "To Sleep..." and I can't wait to read it!! You gentlemen offer thoughts and enthusiasm that resonates with great power, and it's a pleasure to spend some time with you as a viewer! BTW, Christopher, you mentioned "Worm Ouroboros" in this and the first chat on Daniel's channel, and you REALLY hit a chord! It's a remarkable, beautifully written, dense, and artful novel that serves as a constant reminder of how stunning descriptive writing can be. I'll be coming back to BOTH your channels -- often!! All the best, from NH!

THANK YOU Christopher for talking to the greater meaning in novels. I'm about to start querying for my first novel, and I keep hearing the advice, "Focus on the story. Don't talk about the message" etc. I get that it needs to be a good story, but I would argue that all the stories I like best are the ones that make us reflect on our own lives, our place, and humanity as a whole. I know Daniel's a big fan of this as well! Is it really easier for the publishers to market "Boy discovers magic and goes BOOM!" than "An insightful analysis of manifest destiny through a magical adventure in a new world?" Regardless, thanks for the great content, and I love the radiation idea!

I grew up with the Inheritance cycle. I really enjoyed this.

To Daniel Greene’s answer about liking stories for how they can convey truths and observations about the world. “You have to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between truth and a human being is a story.” Anthony De Mello

When the actual writer/ author interviews a youtuber... This. Is. GOLD!

My new KZfaq goal is to interview you haha. You are literally the reason I got into writing.

I think you are the author who made me realise even I can write at some point in my life. I started reading english books at fairly mid-late teens as english is not my native language. Eragon is one of the first books which made me want to write a collection of ideas that I had which are mixed with a lot of Indian mythology, science fiction and other historically significant events of human history. And then I started doing my part of reading various stuff regardless of language and genre. Somewhere down the lane, with the responsibilities of growing up and other natural progressions of life and just the fact that I didnt want to read something mediocre just to fill the void of the experience and the journey you undertake with a good book, I stopped reading. Thats until I started re-reading Inheritance late last year. After the torrid year all of us had, I just wanted to read something and started reading fanfics and ended up rereading Inheritance. Frankly, when I read the 4th part the first time in 2011, I wasnt really that impressed. I loved the book, but I expected a bit more, may be a bit different. Surprisingly, in my second reading, I loved the way you took the journey, motivations and subtle things that I missed in my first reading. May be age made me realise, few things I looked over. I am 29 now and I have to say, in the last 4 months, after reading Inheritance, I read around 20 books including To Sleap in a Sea of Stars, which is 20 more than what I did in the last 5-6 years combined. So Mr. Paolini....Thank you. Thank you for Inheritance cycle. Thank you for reminding me what I wanted in the first place.

Imma have to start reading your books.

Picked up The Worm Ouroboros a few days ago from you having recommended it. I find the writing to be rather charmer, if not occasionally convoluted with what my modern eyes would see as excessive thees and thous. Otherwise, I think the language reads very noble and sophisticated and it's a unique experience for me to read that sort of prose.

Great! I have a pile of books to buy....

GGKay did work on The Silmarrilion with Christopher Tolkien, he's credited on my copy....both of these interviews were excellent. Oh, I agree about the thundering masterpiece of The Worm! E R Eddisson was a genius! It's also interesting that the characters in TWO were created in his childhood, Spitfire, Lords Goldry Bluzco and Brandoch Daha etc are in fact at Bodleian library, Eddisons original childhood drawings are housed there.

Man! There is only one thing I wanna do, and that is to write. I don't care about philosophy or how to forge something. I chose fantasy for a reason. I can do what ever I want in my world, and it still can feel real. JUST write - that is the important part. There is no right or wrong if it comes to writing. Everyone does it in his/her own unique way and it always can turn out to je great. So don't feel bad, if you don't follow Chris advise. You can write how ever you want! And this is by no means personal. I LOVE Eragon, and Christopher Paolini is one of the most inspiring persons when it comes to writing for me!

I am actually writing a book at the moment🤔 It has about 60 pages at the moment and I want to write about 400-500. I am very proud of it, but a tip from a living legend would be awesome😊 i mean if you want to give me one😅

Interesting thought you memtion radiation as a consequence of magic but christopher paolin essentially described a nuclear fallout at doru arebea

Well known author interviewing a book tuber. I love this.

I am a big fannnnn 😮😱😱😱😢😮😮

Where is book 5 of the Eragon series? Because i really Like the books and i want the fifth one

came from daniel's channel

Still not giving up in book 5 of the eragon saga ❤️

12 hour day is my normal workday too, as a wannabe writer with two kids and one on the way I need to make a schedule for my three day weekend in order to write more than an hour a week, but the schedule has to be loose enough to get around normal life with kids stuff (Why can't two year olds follow a rigorous schedule), I was home schooled though, I have a lot of experience "multitasking" (Here meaning that I have have learned to recognize moments where I can be distracted from something to do something else). Chris, You were thirteen year old me's hero because you were a famous homeschooler who had the job I wanted since I was eight. Daniel, I'm not sure you present as awkward enough to be a homeschooler, don't you know we're all shut ins with no grasp of human connection (Sarcasm, in case that wasn't clear)

In Daniels video you mentioned that you had to put down Naomi Novik's "His Majesty's Dragons" because you couldn't read about dragons while writing on Inheritance, but enjoyed another book of her. I am certain that you should give it another try as someone who clearly loves dragons, you will enjoy it thoroughly.

I’ll ask Daniel on his channel, or Discord, but I’ll ask you as he’s talking about Manifest Destiny. Have you played any of the BioShock games? Especially the first one and Infinite. Definitely deals with those concepts, and American exceptionalism, racism, classism, freedom and religion.

Please do Eragon Book 5

You ever try our Carol Berg's Rai Kirah books?

Paolini, we need a shirtless interwiew

Not one for purchasing a book written by an established KZfaqr or celebrity simply because its I respect/like them i respect the hell out of it but if the premise doesn't intrigue me I don't feel obligated to read it. However I'm a big fan of Daniels and his Novel sounds amazing I'm genuinely anticipating his book.

Okay first I love the video and like many others I already waited for it. Ehich leads me to my question: I started to write a language of magic for a book I atleast try to strech to reach the 100 pages and I kind of not knowing how to have enough different words without repeating new words and I really don't know how to intergrate the explanation. Can you please help me? I would be so happy to learn from a master. PS: Sorry if I had some writing mistakes but english is not my mother tongue. (or mother language I don't know)

In Christopher Tolkien’s 1977 forward to The Silmarillion, he concludes with the following statement: “In the difficult and doubtful task of preparing the text of the book I was very greatly assisted by Guy Kay, who worked with me in 1974-1975.”

Foil characters are tough to write -esp for the chosen one. . . how'd u do it ?

I'm open for interviews

Christopher Paolini/ the best Redditor

The consequences of magic in RJ Barker's Wounded Kingdom series are a little like radiation and might be useful for inspiration

Which book is he mentioning at 13:03? Sorry my english is not so good, so I did not get the name/author.

On the whole radiation magic thing. Its implied in A song of ice and fire that dragon fire left a castle as the equivalent of Hiroshima.

*i've probably told you that i love wheel of time* 😂

Daniel, on there being a great diety or God or god's that tells you to go do this, often it is a "must have," incident putting humans interpretations above what the diety says exactly. This is very understandable and happens more times then I know. You may already know this but it is often an individuals interpretations that lead things not what it actually was. Perspective vs. Truth. Hope this was helpful.

Didnt know you were a programmer. Feels like alot of KZfaqrs and Authors have that kind of background (which is a bit weird)

Spoilers Joe Abercrombies First Law book 3: After Bayaz breaking the first law and calling the "storm" the people are suffering from this unknown illness which leads to their hair and teeth falling out, inner bleedings and dying rapidly. I think this might be the consequence of radiation coming from the other side. It's still possible to be resolved otherwise as Im just at book 4 crrently but hey, that's my take on the magic-radioation topic.

I think some nietzche would provide some good philosophy here

Like the spellmonger series, the author just finished 10 books and he's like "well now I have the set up out of the way"

How is married life, Christopher ?

Brent Weeks Chi Drafters has radiation as a consequence with their magic

Wait, what? The guy I became a writer because of has a YT and only 18k subs? Let's fix that, shall we?

An interesting interview would be with Leda Muir! Her Mooncallers series is extremely unique and she has such an interesting way or writing.
