Well, imagine my surprise when the last page informed me that the series was now going to be 4 books instead of a Trilogy! I was so thrown, I was hoping that this would be the end, I don't want to have to wait another 3 years to find out what happens!

yeah, it was announced last year (I think, or early this year) that it would be a saga instead of a trilogy. CP, as you've noticed is a bit long winded
(mean that w/ no disrespect, I like the series, but yeah, "Eldest" could have been seriously edited down!). rumor (really, just rumors at this point) is that the fourth book is mostly done as the original 3rd book was just cut in half. it may be called "Empire" (possibly going back to the "E" titles) and may have the black dragon (Shruiken??) on the cover, or the possibly rumoured new male hatchling from the other egg (supposedly a green dragon). I do love the artwork for this series and won't be sad to see another gorgeous dragon on a future cover
ugh, I'm gonna have to squish this book into my already packed reading schedule before I start getting spoiled!
