He must've had one, doesn't he? Everyone else had a vision. And it's like he knew something would happen because he refused to step into the tree at first.
It is strange that we never learn about it though. It's got to have significance.

Let's talk our friendly neighbourhood ghost.

Do you think he'll end up playing an even bigger part than the book suggest up until now? He died when Gansey lived - what might happen to him if Gansey dies?

Yes, this. And she says she's not gonna lie to us so that's just weird. I mean I think I really do believe her and it's gonna happen I'm just still somehow convinced he'll be back. Wishful thinking?

Oh but wouldn't it only been Gansey's favour? Wouldn't the other ones still get one? (I hope.)

Exactly! Ugh is it April yet? I'M DONE WAITING!! Also can I just take a sick leave for the rest of the week when the book comes out? ;)

IKR? I'm wondering about that too, cause Adam is convinced he changed his future/the vision and I'm just very much afraid he didn't ;___;

I think so too but can anyone be sure? Maybe the Greywaren doesn't get to have a vision because he has his dreams?
Well I really DO HOPE that it's got to have more significance!

The most popular theory is that they just switch but for me that wouldn't really work. Also would it be too easy? Definitely thinking there's more to him than we think of now.

...still scares the shit out of me. If this is going to become true I just want someone to rip my heart out and make it quick.

He's convinced he changed his future though by making the deal with Cabeswater but what does it have to do with it all?

Can we please just bathe in that glorious moment where that happened? Forever gonna be grateful for that.
Forever gonna be proud of Adam for standing up for Ronan so he didn't get expelled (because we know it would have killed him.)

Hi! :)

I also thought the reciprocal thing meant that Gansey would have to take Glendower's place :( But my hope is that one of the others' favors would bring him back? - like, either bring him back to life (if he really does die) or bring him back to this world (if he's just sort of...hibernating. Or something).

But I also think the last book is going to break all our hearts so I'm very worried! :/

Something to do with Adam!! But I don't know what. Maybe we'll find out in the next book?

That's a really interesting theory :o

Does Noah get to have a favor too? Have they ever mentioned this?

Do you think he maybe saw the same thing Adam saw? Adam somehow being responsible for Gansey's death? Would he still be so cool around Adam if that was the case?
Or just something regarding him and Adam?

I HOPE WE WILL FIND OUT ABOUT IT, I WANT TO KNOW!!

But we can't leave Gansey behind, can we? ;___;

I can't remember tbh if it's been mentioned or not but you must be right, he should get a favour too. So everyone basically can request to get Gansey back right? RIGHT???
Or maybe he doesn't cause he's technically dead?

No, I think they all saw something different. I don't know if Ronan would still be cool around Adam if he saw Adam being responsible for Gansey's death. And I don't know if he'd keep quiet about it either?

But I do think Ronan saw something about Adam and himself. And I want to know what it is!

I really hope they don't :(

That's what I'd love to know! Noah's a part of the team, he should get a favor too. And they could all ask to save Gansey. If it's even possible, though? I guess I wonder if Gansey's death is going to to tied to something else, and it's a situation where they can't save him because everything else will go wrong? :((

But I never thought about what happens to Noah if Gansey dies! Now I'm not going to be able to stop thinking about it, sob.

Ok yeah cause I don't think he'd be cool either...

BUT BUT BUT I love that theory. Now I'm really curious. I hope we will find out what it was.

*crosses everything*

It clearly won't be that easy that they just walk hin, let Blue kiss Gansey, he's dying, they ask for him to come back and BOOM there he is.

:( I think they are linked somehow, they must be. But I also believe that Gansey is linked to Glendower. And yeah he's linked to the ley line. And the ley line is linked to Cabeswater which is linked to Adam who is linked to Ronan,...

Maybe though Ronan's vision is Gansey's death as well? Blue's & Adam's both were...?

I considered that but...would Ronan keep quiet about that? I think it makes sense that Blue and Adam would but idk about Ronan not reacting to that in some way that people would notice. Ugh. I'm so confused!!

Oh yeah, I don't think it'll be easy either. It's probably going to be horrible and heartbreaking and I'm already dreading it haha.

But if they're all linked that means they can bring Gansey back, right? Or find some way to communicate with him??

Maybe it means they all end up living in Cabeswater????!!!!!!

I really hope so. Better start collecting wasps to mail to her real soon. ;)

I actually always thought there would only be one favour. Or at least I took Adam's insistence that he needed that favour as proof there only was one. But if they wake Glendower as a group, who knows... This favour business seems not very clear so far. XD

Hi! :D

I'm just wondering if that means that Glendower will die for good or will he be resurrected. And if so, what's he going to do? Go back to rule Wales? Somehow that doesn't seem likely. We need Gansey more than we need some Welsh king. ;)

Oh, it so is going to be hell! I just hope in the end there'll be something to soften the blows!

April needs to hurry the fuck up! YES! I definitely vote YES!

Yeah, there are far too many questions about these visions. I really hope he did though, anything else would be torture! ;____;

(also I just had the strongest nostalgia attack about Gisela!Bradders, lol. I love him so!)

FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LIE RONAN HAS FAR TOO MANY SECRETS!

I wonder if it's something he's seen before. There doesn't seem to be much Ronan hasn't already gone through in his nightmares. :?

Oooooh, I like this theory! After all Adam's vision is about Gansey's death, but it's about Ronan's reaction, too.
