S10 Episode 7 - Violence (Blue Lily, Lily Blue)

Marginalia Pod

Pretty grim topic this week but one that comes up often enough for these characters, sadly – we're reading chapters 33-37 of Blue Lily, Lily Blue through the theme of violence.

In this section, the Greenmantles go spelunking. Piper continues to be weird and it's freaking Colin out! Gwenllian, meanwhile, is wreaking noisy havoc at 300 Fox Way, but the Gray Man asks her to sing her story, and she does. She shows Blue that they’re the same, they're mirrors. If things aren’t weird and spooky enough, there’s a scaffolding failure at Aglionby and where Adam should have been killed, he's been perfectly protected–Cabeswater again.

Heads up: Jenn D’s story today talks about corporal punishment for kids, and we talk about the ramifications of growing up in countries with normalized violence If that’s not your jam, the story starts at 3:55 minutes in, and we move on to chapter summaries at 11:25.

We’re well into our journey with The Raven Cycle - check out season 5 for The Raven Boys and season 8 for The Dream Thieves.
