SEASON 12 EPISODE 1: FORESIGHT

Well, here we are! We’ve reached the final book in the Raven Cycle as we read The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater for season 12.

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.

In this section, Gansey ponders his impending death. The women of 300 Fox Way, minus Blue and plus Artemus, gather to discuss the future of Gansey et al. Ronan pulls someone important from his dream, which causes Cabeswater to catch its breath. Blue gets suspended from school. Noah admits to Blue he’s decaying, but says it’s not time for him to go yet.
