SEASON 12 EPISODE 9: DISILLUSIONMENT

Things are going awry and one might say, the Gangsey are at risk of becoming feeling a bit disillussioned... That's the theme for chapters 55-61 of The Raven King this week.

In this section, Gansey walks the tunnel to Glendower until his phone battery runs out... but the Gangsey find him. They find Glendower—but there is no waking this sleeping king. As they head back to Cabeswater in search of a solution to their demon problem, Adam is possessed and tries to kill Ronan. Back in Henrietta, the political fundraiser has come and gone, but the sale for the demon is just about to start. It does not end well for Piper Greenmantle.

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.
