I’d always imagined returning to Alagaësia with a full-sized novel, but over the years I’ve had numerous ideas for short and mid-length stories. It was a real treat getting to dip back into the heads of characters from The Inheritance Cycle, as well as a few new ones. Writing about Eragon and Saphira after so many years was like returning home after a long journey. How does it feel to return to Alagaësia after several years? When did you know you had more related stories that you wanted to tell? Like other fans, we had been itching to return to Paolini’s world ever since the publication of Inheritance in 2011, so we were thrilled not only to learn about the new book but also to get the chance to ask Christopher some questions about his return to Eragon’s world, his career, and what other projects are on the horizon for the author. Fans of Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle got the chance to return to Alagaësia last month when the author published The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm, a collection of three short stories following Eragon and Saphira.
