This is the best chapter of the book.

Lucy and Darien embark on a daring rescue/escape mission in Eragon chapter 41, “Fighting Shadows.”

Talking points include deconstructing Sparks of Inspiration to add tools to our creative toolbox, the delightful humor woven throughout the chapter, Murtagh being the ultimate Ride-or-Die, confirmation that the elf woman of Eragon’s dreams is indeed very beautiful, another examination of how much time has passed since the events of the prologue, and Saphira’s impeccable timing.
