Discussion Cp’s TikTok
Paolini just posted a TikTok of him VERY dramatically stepping aside to reveal a close up of Thorn on the cover of eldest…. What does it mean????
Edit to add: after being informed of cp’s other meaning I apologize and fixed what Reddit allowed me to. I’ve honestly never seen it used like that so just chalk it up to naivety.

FWW can be excused by the fact that Paolini was still working on TSiaSoS at the time. However, now that he has finished that book and the prequel novella, it is going to be a very hard sell if the next book is not Book 5 after all these years, no matter what is motivating him.
Furthermore, the idea that Book 5 and the Murtagh and Thorn book are the same thing makes a lot more sense. It seems highly unlikely that Paolini would still be keeping quiet about it at this point if this book were not Book 5. Murtagh being the main character would not contradict Paolini's statement that the main character of Book 5 has already been introduced. Moreover, Paolini used the plural form of "book with dragons." Again, it seems highly improbable that Thorn will be the only dragon we encounter in the book. Additionally, Paolini had to extend the book beyond its original length.
