Kevin day the foxhole court series#

I am talking about the name Maggie gave to the dead prince ‘ Owen Glendower’įor those who do not know welsh history, he was based off a very real prince ‘Owain Glyndŵr’ What am I talking about in particular you may ask? but Maggie Stiefvater is an author who WROTE this series, so she should have done the research, not a random account on the internet telling you what’s up. I can bet many of you didnt even know Wales (Cymru) was a country before reading it, and I cant blame you there’s no reason you should have. but that’s the fun of a book right?įor many fans of this book, you may know nothing about welsh history or the context behind it. and its a good book, though its historical accuracy is almost not there at all. it explores ancient magic (heavily linked to some historic Celtic practices and belief systems) and looks into the mysterious ‘death’ of the last native prince of Wales (Cymru). The raven cycle is heavily embedded in welsh culture and folklore as many of you already know. however there are some things that need discussing. people cant get enough it and rightfully so with a compelling plot, lovable and relatable characters, and a deep dive into both history and the unknown.

The raven cycle is a very popular piece of media, the book series taking off extremely well in America in the mid 2010s till up until now.
