Nasuada is so metal.
Lucy and Darien are excited to learn more about Nasuada’s heritage in Brisingr chapter seven, "Trial of Long Knives,” and chapter eight, "Winged Tidings.”
Talking points include wondering where all the gold is coming from, being very excited about a preying mantis goddess, strategies for getting vaccines to hurt less, Angela appearing so early in the book, and everyone being very upset with Eragon.
Content Warning: This episode contains reference to self-harm, not in the context of suicide but in a manner that may be distressing to some listeners. No descriptive passages from the book are read out loud. The conversation about this element of the books ends at 36:56, however the resulting injuries are mentioned a few times later in the episode.
