SEASON 8 EPISODE 3: COMPROMISE
This week, we're reading chapters 13-20 of The Dream Thieves through the theme of compromise. There's a lot going on as the Gangsey discover Cabeswater has disappeared. Declan has to save the day, which doesn’t go over well with Ronan. And Ronan, for his sins, brings back a pair of night terrors from his dreams, which he and Gansey have to kill. The Gangsey head out to the Barns to bury the nightmare’s body and there they discover a world of Niall Lynch’s sleeping dreams… including Ronan’s mother.
In case you missed it, we’ve already read the first book in the series, The Raven Boys, for season 5.
