Ravin’ Girls Ep.9: Arbores Loqui Crappy Latine
Episode Summary:
Welcome to Episode 9, where we cover Chapters 25-26 of The Raven Boys!
A lot of language discussion in this one, which is terrible because neither of us speak Latin! (Please forgive Nievita’s terrible pronunciation.) The gang heads back to the mysterious wood, where they discover that Future-Ronan has left them a message on a rock: The Trees Speak (Really Crappy) Latin. Time travel! Mysterious entities! Puking ghosts! Real talk! And stick around to experience to the Ultimate MVC Rumble, the Brodown Hoedown Showdown!!
