Ep. 21 - Eragon: A Song for the Road + A Taste of Terim

Sing the song of your people! (Or write it down. That’s fine.)

Lucy and Darien sing different tunes in Eragon chapter 23, “A Song for the Road,” and chapter 24, “A Taste of Terim.”

Talking points include why songs in non-audio mediums are the worst, awesome descriptions of the sea, the song in this chapter being pretty good actually, a practical use of magic that tragically replaces archery, identifying criticism of elements that detract from the text versus criticism based on personal preference, the audiobook version coming in clutch for name pronunciation, Eragon getting the hang of improv, friendly, lore-dropping NPCs, and the tragedy of Boromir not being included in fanart of the Fellowship.
