Other commenter’s theories: I based this on her strong naturalist powers and on the fact that she was a Beltane baby who supposedly looks nothing like her family.

My theory was that Jules was going to turn out to be the true Naturalist queen. I’m going to go through some of the predictions that we all had after reading the first book and see how many of them were correct, and I’ll also add in some of my predictions about what will happen in books three and four! Jules My original theory: And there was a lot of excitement! So, let’s dive right in… I just finished book two of this series, and it was just as good as I was hoping it would be!
