Mistakes were made!

Lucy and Darien bemoan character (and author) decisions to needlessly withhold information until chapter 29, "A Costly Mistake."

Talking points include Eragon's many mistakes, Brom's complete lack of preparation before taking on a teaching position, suffering through unpleasant character interactions that could have been avoided, some peak, unintentional emotional manipulation, and wanting all the moments of Eragon and Saphira caring about each other. Spoilers for The Adventure Zone podcast and graphic novel series at 8:28-15:08.
