SEASON 12 EPISODE 6: OBSERVATION

We fancy ourselves quite good at observing, so it's a great theme for us as we read chapters 34-40 of The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater this week.

In this section, Declan and Ronan have a nice moment. Back in Cabeswater, Neeve is trying to mitigate the harm of Piper Greenmantle and the demon, and is unmade for her efforts. At the Barns, the Gangsey piece together their experiences. Adam tells Gansey about the kiss; Gansey admits that he loves Blue. Henry Cheng is kidnapped by Mr Gray, but Gansey intervenes.

We’re returning to the foundational theme of connections. This is the same theme that’s carried us through the series so far, see our seasons on The Raven Boys, The Dream Thieves and Blue Lily, Lily Blue.

This episode was recorded on 5 November 2023.
