We are joined by friend of the pod Kat to discuss chapters 39-the end of CALL DOWN THE HAWK - the first book in Maggie Stiefvater's DREAMER trilogy. THIS IS THE END, Y'ALL. Our huge TRC/DREAMER binge is over (for now), and there is no better way to say goodbye than by crying over the Lynch brothers. Again. We also talk visionaries, Bryde's dubious motivations, character arcs, and, of course, continue to speculate wildly about what could possibly be coming in MISTER IMPOSSIBLE. Stick around until the end to hear what we'll be covering next, as well as an announcement about some format changes!

And make sure to check out our Instagram, where we are hosting our first giveaway this week! Enter for a chance to win a hardback copy of THE RAVEN BOYS, as well as some other goodies!

It's starting, it's starting...with book one of Maggie Stiefvater's incredible THE RAVEN CYCLE! In this extra long, extra spoilery episode we talk magic, forests, and ALL the foreshadowing goodness that can be found in THE RAVEN BOYS. SPOILER WARNING! We decided there was no way to discuss these books without talking about all the foreshadowing and far-reaching implications, so in these episodes we will be talking about the entire series - including the OPAL novella, short stories, and CALL DOWN THE HAWK (the first book in the Dreamer Triology). If you have not read those and you don't want to be spoiled, we'll be here waiting for you when you finish!
