I read all of the Eragon books in middle school. I could be wrong here, but I believe the answer is C. Inkheart Trilogy

If there's a chance you can be wrong here, you should play it safe by 50:50 maybe.

For better or worse I’m going to commit to my answer. I’m near positive the Eragon books were a trilogy (one had a blue cover, one had a green cover, and then one had a red cover; each after the three dragons I believe). While there were elves, the other options just don’t sound right to me.

You said, for the better or the worse.

This time it was ... for the worse.

 

Eragon is a tetralogy. There are Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance. Inkheart is something completely different.

 

But one way or another the good thing about it is, there is a book you have not read yet.

 

For this game, sadly, it brings you back to 1,000 Points.

I kept thinking there was a yellow one too, so I’m just a dumbass. Huh...that is my worst performance in trivia ever. I can’t believe how poorly I did. Well, I’m going to go turn off all the lights in my house and cry in a dark corner real quick.

 

 

My disappointment aside, thanks for the awesome game of trivia as always @Quasit. I’m going to study hard in case I ever get a third chance.

For record, it was between b and c for me. I ultimately choose c becuase Inheritance seemed like an incorrect description of the series, since characters often didn’t in inherit their positions in society. However, if you consider the dragon selecting its rider as the rider “inheriting” the dragon, then I guess that makes sense.

Don't be too upset about it, looking at it, this stack turned out to be a bit challenging.

 

As long as I prepare questions and series, there will be a third, fourth, fifth chance. :d

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
