Inheritence Trilogy?!

Inheritence Trilogy?

i have a question...if Galbatorix is the king of Alagaesia then why does he rule something called the empire? shouldn't he be called the emperor?

Perhaps he should be called emperor, and yet he isn't. Just one of many flaws in the work of an amateur.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the books and I do read them. It's just too hard not to be critical about a lot of things about them, like the fact that pretty much none of Paolini's ideas are original.
