I find this really cool and inspiring. I love the conceptual blend of science and magic, the cool aesthetics and the bright-noble air of the space travel. I agree 100% that they are such a missed opportunity for so much more than they were.

I haven't read Eragon in quite some time, but it's nice to see such a wonderful concept extracted from it and spun out a bit. It's made my day brighter, and I wanted to thank you for that!
