I haven't seen a topic on this, so I thought I might bring it to attention. Paolini said that the cover of book 3 was to be green with a green dragon on it facing right. But now that he has decided to make it into four books, what color will it be, or will the cover of the 3rd book be changed? Personally, I think that if the mystery death at the end of book 3 is Oromis and Glaedr (fogive me if I spelled that wrong), I think that the 3rd book's cover will become a golden-yellow color with a picture of Glaedr on it, the one that the illustrator has already drawn. And then, the 4th book would be green with the green dragon on it. Or they might leave the 3rd book green and change the fourth one to black depicting Shruikan on it. But I really have no idea.

well choices 3 abd 4 our out because we know book 3 will be green, but i think book 4 will be black, with a picture of shruikan.

Maybe, but why would Shruiken be improtant all of a sudden? I mean, he's hardly been mentioned throughout the story (or maybe I just missed it)

the forth book should be black for Galbatorix's dragon and he may be important all of a sudden cause Eragon has to fight him

I like the idea of the 3rd book being green and the 4th book being black. Originally, I thought that the 3rd book gold, 4th book green theory would be right, but now I think the 3rd green, 4th black. It just seems to make so much more sense.


The following is an edit:

It was released today that the name of the 3rd book would be Brisingr and that it pictures the Glaedr drawing and is black.

I always thought that it should be Empire and then Ending. In fact, I do not like the name Brisingr! He should have stuck with the starts with E with six letters theme. Maybe the actual book will make up for its pathetic name!
