Lauren asked Christopher Paolini:

Hi Christopher, My 7 year old had been loving your books, he's on page 610-ish of Brisingr, and is suddenly distraught. He can't believe that everyone has been lying to poor Eragon for his whole life. I've been assuring him that you'll explain it.... I hope you do! If not... could you throw him a response here about why everyone, even his very own dragon, could be so callous? Thank you!
