S8 Episode 10 - Courage (The Dream Thieves)

Take heart everyone, it's our last episode of season 8. We’re reading the final chapters of The Dream Themes through the theme of courage, and wrapping up the novel.
In our section this week, The Gray Man is forced to face his worst fear. Gansey and Ronan enlist Blue’s help in finding Kavinsky’s fourth of July party. Kavinsky dreams a dragon, draining Cabeswater and leaving Ronan with nothing left to work with. Adam solves the problem. Back in reality, Ronan finds Matthew just in time to see Kavinsky killed by his own creation. They all arive back at 300 Fox Way to find that Maura has disappeared.
In case you missed it, we’ve already read the first book in the series, The Raven Boys, and you can listen here.

S8 Episode 8 - Revenge (The Dream Thieves)

Ah yes, revenge! Fun to think about, but not great for the soul, if we’re honest. That’s our theme this week as we read chapters 48-53 of The Dream Thieves. Fair to say some of our characters are more hung up about revenge than others - lots to discuss!
In this section, Blue calls on Calla’s psychometry and then has a hard conversation with Adam. Persephone helps Adam balance his Cabeswater bargain with his trauma. Blue and Gansey share an intense moment and an almost-kiss. Ronan dreams about his father, and angers Kavinsky by not rising to his bait.

S8 Episode 7 - Arrogance (The Dream Thieves)

We're back! This week, we're reading chapters 41-47 of The Dream Thieves through the theme of arrogance. And look, there's a lot of different flavours of arrogance at play with the Gangsey so we've got lots to unpack!
In this section, Kavinsky and Ronan indulge in some destructive dreaming. In DC, Adam goes missing and the whole Gansey family searches for him. And at 300 Fox Way, the Gray Man realizes that he’s not a kidnapper and will have to sever ties with his employer—a very scary prospect indeed.

BONUS - Ghost of Festivus Past

Happy Festivus! We interrupt your regular season with this re-run of our Festivus episode because... well, it's festive! And this was delightful! We watched three festive films and discussed their feats of strengths, and aired our grievances. At this metaphorical Festivus dinner, we gather round to chat about Happiest Season, Last Christmas, and The Holiday.
