MVP-Alin for fighting and putting the bird skull amulet on Murtagh MIP- Thorn for overcoming his fear of closed spaces so well that it chamged his True Name. DPOY- Greave for holding his own against Murtagh and Uvek at the same time. He may not have succeeded, but he earned his award. Still a bad person and cultist I am at this moment 38th in line for Red Rising through Libby. Can we wait 5 weeks lol

I really like how Gerard Doyle voiced Uvenk as Murtagh was passing out, in the audio book. It made him sound almost like he was pleading for the one person he could relate and talk to to stay conscious

Something about mushroom forests just screams high fantasy to me. Disgusting in real life, magical in fiction. I belive that Bachel was saying half truths for the most part. I believe that Durza, Galbatorix, and Morzan stayed with the Dreamers. I don't believe they were members, but more like Murtagh and just curious about them. I believe that she encouraged Galbatorix to destroy the Riders, but I don't believe she gave him the idea to ask for another dragon to learn of their cruelty. Cult leaders always lie to make themselves seem bigger and more important than they actually are
@Isthisjustfantasypod17 күн бұрын
I agree with all of that Sharkey. Mushroom forests are pretty high fantasy and Bachel is for sure a liar. I am with you 100 percent.

Wooo! Finally caught up to the final episode. You guys did great! Thanks for making my drives to/from work a bit more bearable 😂. I grew up on this series just like you guys, so it was really interesting hearing your point of view. Some book recommendations from me would be the Harry Potter series, Percy Jackson, and Ready Player One and Two. Many Guntera blessings upon you, and may your swords stay sharp! 🖖🏼

That lake scene where he discovers the boneyard is probably one of my favorite images from the book and it's so quick with Muck Maw dragging Murtagh around

Yeah it stays with me too, and really is such a cool image I hope gets captured when they do the show if they get this far.

@Isthisjustfantasypod I just hope they keep the goat that tries to eat him. Life has a plan for Murtagh and it's to never let him be comfortable for more than 10 minutes at a time.

I like the addition of Thorn having Claustrophobia. It adds flavor to the orginal series without changing it too much, like thats probably part of the reason Thorn lounged on top of the walls of Dras Leona.
@IsthisjustfantasypodАй бұрын
That is a great thought! I bet it was exactly why Thorn sat on the walls of Dras Leona.
@Sharkey1208Ай бұрын
I think the Urgal tale and the Eragon fluff were my favorite parts of the book. The Murtaugh story is a fun one too, but I think it's enhanced if you read Murtaugh alongside it. Angela's was the weakest, but it wasn't bad and I think it flowed with the Eragon parts the best of the three. I think the Angela problem dragged it down a bit, the Angela Problem being that she always has to inspire more questions than answers
@IsthisjustfantasypodАй бұрын
The Angela problem is a great way to say it. It is one of those things that will keep happening too, because I don't think he can answer her questions without ruining what makes her a fan favorite. We shall see though.
@Sharkey1208Ай бұрын
The Dream Cave was mentioned previously I believe it was Brom, but may have been Oromis. They were telling Eragon about wild magic. Solembum mentions to Eragon meeting men who age backwards and rooms that were larger on the inside than they appeared from the outside in Inheritance I believe.

I always liked to think that Arya took the crown because she had been living for so long to defeat Galbatorix that when it was all done she was lost and needing a new purpose. And it fits with her personality of always wanting to do whats best for the Elves in her opinion

I always took Eragon's mental break down at the snail as him subconsciously relaxing for the first time since probably when he was training with Oromis in Eldest. I mean since then, I don't think he's had more than a few moments where he's not been actively doing something for the war. Plus I mean this book has just been hit after hit for him, they opened with a siege, followed by the tense siege of Dras Leona with a standoff between him/Saphira and Murtagh/Thorn, then the nightmare that was the tunnels under Dras Leona, AND watching Nasuada get kidnapped and knowing she was going to get tortured if not killed

My only argument for the Hater's against him using nature energy is that he has to open himself up to the minds of plants and animals to use it and he's described it as experiencing each of their deaths personally. Plus opening his mind like that to detect the minds of the animals around him during a fight would be dangerous and leave him open to other magician's mental attacks
@Isthisjustfantasypod4 ай бұрын
I totally get that, and honestly, that is likely the simple and straightforward answer. Experiencing the pain and danger of natural deaths is too painful, but I believe the haters would say that enduring that discomfort is preferable to the alternative-losing the war, dying, or being enslaved, along with everyone on your side because you didn't take on that pain or failed to do so when it was safe beforehand, and just stored that energy ahead of time, you know?
