because orange would look ridiculous

no metalic orange would be cool and anyway they have mentioned all the other colours

i still think shruikan should be on the cover

that does make thing more simple

yeah, and it makes more sense, cuz if the egg doesn't hatch til the very end, what sense would there be in putting it on the cover?

whereas shruikan has been alive through the whole thing and would make a more sensible cover

unless the egg hatches on the very first page of the fourth book, and does super-growing with galby.

well it wouldn't be good for the varden if the egg hatched for galby

unless murtagh switched sides with all of his eldunaris with him all at once, then it would be even. cover=green with green dragon on cover

or it hatched quickly for the varden and a couple elves boosted its growth

Yeah...... but then it would have to understand this sudden growth and half-way train with Eragon and Saphira.

it would be an abomination, as oromis called thorn, because they wouldnt be able to understand their abilities, they will have very little part in the LAST battle IF it had enough time to grow b4 the last battle

Greenie might hatch in the beginning of the book, if Eragon can steal the egg like in the beginning of Brisingr, where Eragon, Roran, and Saphira killed the Ra'zac and freed Katrina. Maybe Eragon can be near the RoK and open the VoS, then over power Galby forcing him to retreat and get the dragon egg. Then it'll hatch for someone on the Varden's side.

¿¿¿¿did you even read brisingr????

I've read it 4 times! I should know.

the boldede sections didn't happen in brisingr, they may happen in book 4 but definately not in brisingr, thats why i thought you hadn't read it.

4 times isn't that many, my friend at school has read it 21 times, ok, he wins

i cant read a book more than once

but htis series is so amazing that that shouldnt matter, read it again, ive done that 5 times now

ya let me edit my post, i have read each at least six times eragon is at 7 eldest is 6 brisingr is 7-8

yeah i've read eragon and eldest about 8 times each and brisingr about 4 and i've listened to eragon and eldest 10s of times and brisingr quite a few times and you know what its still great every time

you ant diminish the Inheritance series greatness by rereading it, only improve it

i know and some times i feel like i'm spoting new things in them

okay, eragonruless990, in case you didn't notice the COMMAS, that is the stuff that was in Brisingr. The stuff that you put in bold might be in Book 4, yes. But I put in commas so people will know that I mean THIS was in Brisingr.

I rarely reread books. I am going to try to reread the Harry Potter series. I reread the first one cause I hadn't read it in like 6 years. And I started trying to read each of the Lemony Snicket books 5 times, but I only got most of them read about three times. I don't think I could ever reread an Inheritance book, but they were good. And I could never reread the Twilight saga. It was hard enough to get through them one time. Don't get me wrong, though. They were great books. And I'm listening to the Narnia books on CD and I've read them before.

im really confused , what are you trying to say?? i reread the post, but everything was in commas.

Pic 1 and 3 is in Swedish. I know i have them.

Yeah, they look like they go together. It looks like the same artist who did them.

although thorn looks too big, like hes bigger than saphira, which he isnt

Yeah, Murtagh on Thorn looks a lot smaller than Eragon on Saphira, which makes it look like Thorn is a lot bigger dragon. He is getting bigger a lot faster than Saphira, though due to Galbatorix's black magic.

but he is still smaller than her, even now.

and he still cant defeat her..which is always a good thing

especially now with his tail injuries. its three feet shorter.

i believe the cover will be the green dragon.

I am fairly certain the cover will be, completely blank just a white page.

No, actually I am fairly certain it will be a dragon to be more precise a green dragon for the simple fact that it's the only 'new' dragon left.

There is no doubt in my mind that it will be of the green dragon. However, I wouldn't mind seeing a portrait drawn of Shruikan.

it could be a darker green too you know

On shurtugal.com they have confirmed from CP "The cover of the fourth book will feature an emerald (green) dragon".
