I can't seem to find any information about when the fourth (and presumably final) book in the series is set to be released. Does anyone have any information on when Christopher Paolini is planning on releasing it? Not sure why he wrote a book in between books 3 and 4 (the Inheritance Almanac), but maybe it's just to keep up interest after the less than stellar Eragon movie caused a lot of people to lose interest in the series. What do you think?

No news. I doubt it's even finished. If it was finished and just going through the editing machine, then we would have a suggested release date. We have nothing.
It's only been two years since the last book was published. That's really not that long of a wait. Some writers are much slower than others. There was a nine year gap between two of the books in one of my favorite series. Believe me, waiting two years is nothing! Just be patient.

See Drasnian's comment--I guess the 4th one is coming soon! It is true, some authors are slower than others, but when you are writing (at least in part) for an audience mad of pre-teens and teens, it probably behooves you to be on the quicker side. Hope you enjoy it!

He seemed on the slow side to me, and I doubt he cared how fast his audience was growing up. I'm probably not going to read it for another three years or so, I'm actually not that fond of the series.

Oh, and the series I was talking about was also a YA/Children's series... The Unicorn Chronicles by Bruce Coville.

Excellent! I can't wait! 
And yes, since I posted this I have learned that the Almanac was written by someone else.
