So, I'm still very soon into my re-read of Eragon, but I already have a few questions.

Garrow seems to have a problem with the townspeople. He refuses to buy anything from them unless he literally has no choice, and he moved far away from them into an abandoned for 50 years house. My guess is that it has something to do with Selena, possibly how the villagers treated her back in the day. Eragon says Sloan stared at him as if he was something "unclean".

Another thing that confuses me is that when Garrow tells Eragon about Sloan's wife dying, he says it happened "a year before eragon was brought there", even though in the next chapter it is explicitly said Selena arrived when she was four months pregnant, and left immediately after giving birth to and naming Eragon.

I don't really know what to make of it, but throughout all of it I was perpetually like ????

#the inheritance cycle #eragon #i think its funny that selena had a bit of a reputation in town #like she was the alagaesian equivalent of belle from beauty and the beast #and she'd be walking around carvahall while everyone was singing about how pretty and objectively bizarre she was #she probably had a few men interested in her and she didn't really care and that perhaps bothered people #or the fact that she wanted to go away from minute 1 and didn't appreciate the 'provincial life' lol #also its really sad that eragon feels that he wasn't good enough for selena and thats why she abandoned him :(#fes rereads eragon
