Ep. 27 - Eragon: The Mire of Dras-Leona + Trail of Oil
In the shadow of a spooky, scary mountain.
Lucy and Darien are creeped out in chapter 32, "The Mire of Dras-Leona," and chapter 33, "Trail of Oil."
Talking points include striving for casual queerness in stories, the implications of connecting poverty, enslavement, and religion, Saphira being weirdly judgy about Eragon enjoying an adult libation, and the hunt for the Ra'zac entering the endgame.
Sparks of Inspiration
Lucy is inspired by very clear water and very cool mountains.
Darien enjoys a swashbuckling, steampunk sky adventure in The Apollo by Grace Ward. (Psst! Go get a copy and read it for yourself: https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Apollo/Grace-Ward/9798868926143?id=9077779963236)
