Season 5 Reading Themes

Themes
Written By Jen Vermeulen

We’re returning to Maggie Stiefvater for season 5 as we read The Raven Boys. Yes, we will be reading all of The Raven Cycle, but not consecutively.

As per usual, we have a foundational theme that carries through the the whole text, with secondary themes each week. We’ll carry the foundational theme through all four novels, so we can go really in depth with it across the whole narrative arc.

Here’s how the themes break down if you’d like to read along with us–our copies are the 2012 hardback editions. We absolutely adore these characters and would love nothing more than to hear from you! Let us know your thoughts at hello@marginaliapod.com. We’re also on Instagram as @marginaliapod.
