SEASON 10 EPISODE 8: Heartbreak

Brace yourself for big feelings cause this week, we’re reading chapters 38-42 of Blue Lily, Lily Blue through the theme of heartbreak!

In this section, Adam is facing his father’s hearing alone–until Gansey and Ronan show up to support him, unasked but not unwelcome. Adam takes Blue and Noah along to the national park to repair the ley line. Later, he meets with Persephone, but she’s not really there–she’s strayed too far–and when they find her, she’s dead.  

We’re well into our journey with The Raven Cycle - you can check out season 5 for The Raven Boys and season 8 for The Dream Thieves.
