Ep. 48 - Eldest: A Twin Disaster

What a way to start this book…Darien and Lucy unpack the unexpected trauma that is Eldest chapter 1, “A Twin Disaster.” Talking points include Paolini's recontextualization of previous events in order to prioritize new themes, being told about and not shown some pretty important plot points, compelling evidence for Eragon having no sense of smell, a totally spoiler-free observation of the chapter title, and the ways this heavy chapter sets the tone for the rest of the book.Sparks of Inspiration Lucy combats seasonal depression with the mobile game DragonVale!
