SEASON 8 EPISODE 5: EXCESS
Excess? In this book? Never! This week we’re all about lack of moderation as we read chapters 28-33 of The Dream Thieves through the theme of excess.
In this section, Maura and the Gray Man go on a really good date. Ronan sees Gansey and Adam off and then goes out to find some trouble. Noah lets Blue into Monmouth Manufacturing and while it’s a lovely afternoon, for Blue, it’s tempered with hard truths. Adam is caught between the instability of Cabeswater and his ephemeral future, and experiences a moment of clarity.
In case you missed it, we’ve already read the first book in the series, The Raven Boys, for season 5.
This episode was recorded on 29 October 2022.
