Ravin’ Girls Ep.16: Dewey Decimal Ogres
Episode Summary:
Is it finally here? Is this actually real?! Is it happening, or are we just DREAMING? Welcome to Season 2 Episode 16, where we cover the Prologue-Chap.3 of The Dream Thieves!
We are indeed BACK with our first episode covering the second book of The Raven Cycle, The Dream Thieves! Join us as we introduce our favorite hit man, talk about the fairytale-esque stories of the Lynch family, Nievita reveals that she has discovered the birthdate of Niall Lynch, Shannon reveals that she shares one of Ronan’s favorite things, and we both reveal that we are huge nerds by making Monty Python references. (Just kidding on that last one--you already knew we were huge nerds.) And we want you to tell us… what should trigger our Season 2 Drinking Game?
DEEP DIVE: Tropes & Motifs of Fairytales and Celtic Mythology (from approx. the 19:49 minute mark to 36:59, depending on player)
