From what I heard it sucked the way it ended. But I think Chris did that so we could have something to look forward to in his next installations of the series.

Omg I can rant about this all Damn day. Inheritance was awsome and then the ending came an SPLAT! ruined everything, when I finished I seriously just sat the book put it on my bedside table and just sat there for about 5min thinking "seriously? This is how he ends it. No epic romance,arya is queen of the elves, murtagh an thorn leave and then so does eragon." An the fact that there was not even a kiss for eragon drove me nuts. But then to find out months later that CP plans to make a 5th stand alone book I was ok with it because when I finished inheritance like with harry potter series I felt upset like I lost a friend since I grew up reading harrypotter an then from there came the inheritance cycle I had no more adventure to look forward to. When ever I got board I would pick up the book an see what eragon an company were going to yet into next. And then for it to end so sadly killed me so to know its not over makes me less upset. And also I hear CP has plans for a bunch more books that take place in alagaesia along with another possible series but with eragon not as the main person. But knowing CP this will take 100 years, so though the ending of inheritance "makes my scales itch" I know now that arya and eragon may still have their romance that we got denied.

Okay, I kinda didn't really care at the time about Arya and Eragon but here is my rant after the fact when I realized just how much it hit me that it was over.
When I finished Brisingr, I was really hoping that the last book would be so good that it would make the fail of the movie and the other problems with the books equal out. Well, of course, I had to wait like two years for Inheritance to be released but when it was I immediately snatched it up and sat for like two days straight just reading the other three books to remind myself of what had happened. Then I opened the last book and started reading. It took me about four hours to finish the book but when I did I was pissed the f*** off at the war and how it ended.
CP had led up to the war and had taken many different twists in the book just to cut off with Galby dying like that and then Eragon saying he would leave. We didn't learn anything about Arya and her dragon. The whole Islanzadi dying and Arya taking the throne made it hard for Eragon but I still wanted to at least have some sort of realization from Arya that she loved the crazy human who had started out as a farm boy and then saved the whole land of Alagaesia. Then they made Murtagh and Thorn leave and it made me think "really...dragon riders just saved you d**** and now you have them all leave. There won't even be a SINGLE dragon in the whole damn country?!?" Needless to say, I haven't re-read any of the books for fear that I will burn them with my fury at CP.
Now I hear he is doing a Brom series and I think "YOU DIDN'T FINISH ERAGON AND NOW YOU START BROM!!!" I have many rant things to start but don't get me started on the movie because it will take me three times as many characters allowed just to get to the part where they screwed up Brom's death. Although, Fean, I do have something to say about Harry Potter.
I also grew up reading those books, as a matter of fact, they gave me many a days worth of enjoyment and drawing ideas. Anyhow, JKR needs to do another series with Harry's kids as the main idea and have like somehow have Malfoy or one of Voldemort's followers come to a head and fight a new war with the Potters again. Just saying...

Yes I also herd cp may do a brom story but is unsure cause everyone knows how it ends. Though I think it would be a cool story to read.I will admit I've re read the series once more since inheritance came out and if anything I was more depressed a second time around. But I have a tendency to re read books and series I enjoy. Like I've said I can go all day about the way it ended even galby dieing like that was horrible. We wait four books for a final clash and the final fight is eragon vs mertaugh. But also after reading some interviews cp had including a awsome 12page interview he did on randomebuzzer (I think the site was) were he answered a ton of questions fro. The fans. You can yell by his answered he hated the movie (we won't speak of that travesty of a film) and the biggest hint he gave towards book 5 witch is confirmed is that angelas back story will be a main part. Knowing there will be more stories lessens the pain a tad bit ...
And yes I agree mrs rowleing should make more books with harrys kids and them. The harrypotter books got to be my all tine faveriot series to read I use to just escape into those stories when I was a kid reading them and the movies (except the 3rd) were amazing. I think she will go back and make another book or series just give it some time... I think the best part about those stories are kids can relate to them cuz it's just like going through hoghschool (minus the magic an a super evil violence trying to kill you) but just being the new kid,dealing with bullies,a$$hole teachers,playing sports.making friends, fighting with friends,relationships gains an lost. Those books are just amazing... sorry for my babbling but some tines I can't help it

I just recently finished the last book of the Eragon series and was taken aback by the ending after spending about two hours trying to finish up the last twenty or so chapters. The romance between Ayra and Eragon seemed too abrupt to end just there when she just says,'Farewell, Eragon Shadeslayer.' I started thinking things like: oh, he'll probably send some kind of message saying "I love you" at the last moment. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Nothing happened, and what followed was replaced with exasperation and a bunch of face palming.
I'm not a big fan of the movie Eragon. It doesn't go along with the book as much as I'd want it to, though it would be quite hard to completely replicate all of Algaesia single handed. It would be like trying make another Jurassic Park (which they are) with all those mechanical dinosaurs loping around the stage and standing at the actual height, unless altered by animation and computer networking.
Anyway, I think I just went off topic. I didn't expect that Galbatorix would be so easily befuddled in the battle, and I wanted something more to occur. I don't know, maybe Oromis wasn't really dead and he comes out of nowhere and requires the strength needed to defeat them, or Brom appears back to life because he wasn't completely dead when he was buried. Lord Barst or Roran could have appeared and fought on each of their different sides.
Has anyone noticed how some of the information was refrained from being told? Like the Word that is the actual name of the Ancient language, or the actual name of Eragon, Ayra, and Saphira? I'd scroll back through the paragraph expecting to actually know the name, but likewise, I never see it. There was other parts that I noticed, yet I can't bring myself to remembering them.
Near the end, (off topic again) was anyone else irritated at how Saphira just willingly took on Fírnen as her mate after just meeting him? Again, and again, again I waited for Eragon to make a move with Ayra. It sort of worked with the glyph he made, but it still bothered me then didn't so much as hold hands.
I was also wondering about the past of the herbalist Angela. It never went too far into her back story, unless he plans to do a similar thing with her as he is doing with Brom currently. Though I consider the first series unfinished, too many questions are unanswered and their unnerving me as I try to seek of a solution to them.

Chris has addressed the Angela problem in one of his next books. We know for sure he is working on a prequel from before the fall to the fall, then a sequel about 50+ years later(I think 50+ years...)

A sequel about 50+ years from now. Hmm, I'm going to hate waiting for that. Haha. He covered much of Brom's life in the Eragon series, with his travels and his dragon's death, but I won't mind a whole book just for his life. The father of Eragon, after all, should have a say in the matter.

I'm all for the hate of the ending, just one small thing, it opened up a possibility for sequel series, which he said he would do eventually.

I'm just going to break the trend and say I quite liked the ending. Aside from Galby's death, Arya suddenly become Queen and a Dragon Rider all in one go, and how as Anira said Saphira took Firnen as her mate as soon as they met, despite him still being a very young dragon. I thought it made sense - I myself had been wondering how Alagaesia was supposed to cope with all those dragons, and how the new Riders would avoid constant assassination attempts. I was hoping that Arya and Eragon wouldn't get together from when we first met her, since I didn't want the series to start taking a 'let's just throw in an elf lady as a romantic interest' turn, and it would have seen very out of character for Arya. Murtagh's leaving made sense too, because he clearly needed time to sort himself out. I really want to see what happens in a few years, when there are Riders in training and Murtagh's returned. I did think it was unnecessary to say Eragon would never return, though.

I honestly have to partly go with Quetzal. I personally hated Arya being Queen AND a Rider; it goes against nature. Never has there been a ruler and a Rider...'except for the Head Dragon Riders. And also, Eragon didn't have to never return. He coulda always trained another Rider and made him the Head Dragon Rider when he wasn't there and go back, here and there. And Arya and Eragon's romance? -Pukes in his toilet before coming back- The Firnen and Saphira mating? That would be interesting. But honestly? He did rather well with the ending..but not perfect. Just made me want more info e.e" He could like make a sequel where he explains Galby's history and the Forsworn and the Forsworn's dragons' names before they were banished and what the Forsworn had been refused to hate the Riders. Also, I'd suspect Eragon and Saphira should wait for the Dwarf and Urgal Riders before departing. How is a new Rider and a young hatchling get out of Alagaesia alive? So much info he didn't put. But all in all, the series was E-P-I-C

The Dwarf and Urgal riders thing bothered me. Eragon has all these eggs meant for new riders, and yet he took all bar two with him? I thought he'd have concealed all the rider's eggs for Arya, and at least waited for one or two new riders. I can just imagine him sitting alone on some mountain for a few years regretting that choice. I guess he has to build the rider's city, but still. More riders could have helped with that! As for a sequel, I'd really like just some account of what the future was like when it settled down, even just a sort of encyclopedia or history book or something. So many questions.

Again, I'm with Quetzal. Also, how are the hatchlings and their Riders supposed to get there? And as Quetzal stated, Eragon has all but two eggs? How the heck does he expect them to hatch? Hatch for some air? Some molecules?

Well...As he said in the book, When a rider hatches they will go to Arya and be trained for a year or so untill they are ready to make the voyage to where Eragon is, most likely in the company of several other riders. Then when those riders get there, Eragon will send the riders he may have already trained back with a couple more of the eggs he has so it can hatch. Then Eragon will train the new riders, Then send them back to algaesia when they are fully trained,
Its a continuous cycle really

:| But he said, as soon as they hatch they be sent to Eragon. So that means that they're gonna walk over water to get there? Ending. Was. Terrible.
