The Raz'ac are basically mosquitoes, right?

Darien and Lucy discuss just one chapter with Eldest chapter 41, "The Nature of Evil.”

Talking points include this jerk Vanir, Saphira having Eragon’s back, interrogating what is acceptable in war, never justifying one's own actions based off what someone else might do, magic lessons, evidence that the Twins were definitely traitors, and a very upsetting round of 20 Questions about the Raz'ac.
