The Crow Crew discussion

Discuss the merch Jan Van Eck here. What are your thoughts on him? Remember put warnings if you're going to put spoilers. This thread is for people currently reading the book too.

I'm not sure if this counts as a spoiler...but why would you be mean to Wylan? That in itself confuses me

The only reason he hates him (in my opinion) is because he can't read or write so he can't take up his father's occupation of becoming a merchant or something. That's how I understand it.
