I mean, Twilight had to come up at some point.
Books that shaped us, come on.
When she's reading Wuthering Heights.
Oh, she's where I got the judgment from.
Oh my goodness.
I was like, I'm not reading the right, I'm joking.
It's not really her, but I'm like, it was that kind of thing.
It's like, I should be reading classics.
Yeah, that was a really good –
And that's so relatable again.
Like that's the thing, like seeing yourself as a teenage girl reflected in the books that you read, which is not something that's going to come up in Eragon.
Like the only women are kind of like mythical elves.
I think there's maybe one other human female character.
But yeah, it's not really the point of the story.
I think I didn't come across a scene like that until
I want to say it was like Empire of Storms or something.
I think Elide, it happened to her on the boat.
But yeah, it's very rare to see like as a woman, I think yourself reflected in stories from like this era in fantasy.
I think for me, it was more the kind of romance, the paranormal romance era.
So it wasn't until like Tessa from Clockwork Angel, Book of Prints, like I loved because I was like, you know, she was more of a bookish character.
