Yesterday at EragonForums.com, Kenneth Paolini broke the great news to us – Eldest is finished! This is what Kenneth had to say:
9:30 a.m. today, Christopher completed and sent off Eldest to his editior at Knopf. Now the fun begins–the editing process.
The book is 222,474 words, before editing. Eragon is 159,000 and change.
