![]() ![]() ![]() There are some places, and some characters, and I think they all enrich the experience of reading (or rereading) these magical books. After much looking around, asking friends, and frantic Etsy searches, I’ve got a group of candles that I can confidently say are near-perfect snapshots of The Raven Boys experience. ![]() I had a favourite site for Raven Cycle candles, but unfortunately they closed down. Something about the world of Henrietta and Cabeswater and The Barns is so connected to the idea of scent for me: these places seem tangible, and immersive, and above all, magical. My absolute ultimate candle is one inspired by Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle – and now, I suppose, Call Down the Hawk and the other upcoming books in The Dreamer Trilogy as well. Candles just set the right mood, and are always burning when the writing muse strikes. They’re perfect for reading to, but also amazing to write to. They get me into the world of the book like nothing else, enveloping me in the scent of a scene or a place or a character. I think candles might be my favourite form of book-related fan product. ![]()
