Ep. 74 - Eldest: Landfall, Teirm, Jeod Longshanks, An Unexpected Ally, & Escape

About this episode

Darien and Lucy discuss chapters from Eldest, reconnect with characters, and share their inspirations.

A familiar face! Darien and Lucy are excited to reconnect with an old acquaintance in Eldest chapter 50, “Landfall,” chapter 51, “Teirm,” chapter 52, “Jeod Longshanks,” chapter 53, “An Unexpected Ally,” and chapter 54, “Escape.” Talking points include not repeating descriptions from previous books, it's okay for some things to be convenient for plot, a delightful exclamation, Justice for Helen, Roran getting caught up on the plot of the book series he's in, and Darien having a mini spiral about her youngest brother being Eragon's age. Sparks of Inspiration Darien watched a Helluva Boss AMV that inspired her to write a chapter of her book. She also has a geode that she hates, but at least she wrote something. Lucy is inspired by the reading recommendations of her coworkers.
