Welcome to the Literary Labyrinth Podcast!!!!!Today we continue with part 5 of our journey through the Labyrinth reading, Rites of the Starling by Devney Perry. In this episode, we will be discussing chapters 42 - 53.

The truth about Calandra finally starts to crack wide open—and naturally, it brings even more questions with it. Caspia uncovers the hidden history behind the Starlings, the Voster, the mysterious “six,” and the cursed magic buried beneath Calandra. The mythology finally starts to make sense… sort of. Think ancient battles, rewritten history, magical orbits, blood oaths, and enough secrets to fill an entire palace. Meanwhile, Odessa’s world continues to unravel. Ransom’s Lyssa infection is getting worse, the palace guards are behaving increasingly strangely, Mae takes sibling rivalry to a deeply alarming level, and Odessa’s father remains spectacularly committed to answering absolutely none of her questions.

With romance, monsters, secret affairs, magical conspiracies, and plenty of “please just tell us already” energy, it is time for you to hit that play button.Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube @literarylabyrinthpodcastListen to us wherever you get your podcasts.
