Conor: What do you think Rollan and Meilin will do for a distraction? Abeke: They’ll probably, like, make a noise or throw a rock. That’s what I would do. *Building explodes and several car alarms go off* Abeke: ... or they could do that.

My Conbeke headcanons cause why not
Everyone can see it but them + she fell first, he fell harder trope
Abeke sleeps in Conor's t-shirts, even before they started dating
Conor acts all annoyed saying that soon, he won't have what to wear, but he actually thinks she looks really cute in those
After the Wyrm, the only times Conor wouldn't have nightmares was when Abeke slept next to him
Abeke doesn't like having her hair untied, but when she does, it's always because Conor once told her that she looked good with her hair down
Conor is the one to cook in their relationship. Abeke is terrible at it
Everyone thinks that Meilin or Rollan is the biggest Conbeke shipper, but in reallity it's Worthy
Every time Conor feels bad or insecure or smt else about what he did because of Wyrm Abeke kisses his forhead or arm, where Wyrm started the infection
Before the two started dating, on girl's nights with Meilin, Maya, Lishay and sometimes Kalani or Tasha, the rest of the girls tried to make Abeke to admit she liked Conor, and she always refused to do so, even though it was so obvious
they spent a lot of time in library, Abeke teaching Conor how to read, cause she's a bookworn herself

Some more Redcloak thoughts. I bet that at first they were kind of closed off about their former animals, and didn't like to really talk about them. But after some time, they warmed up to each other and kind of just accepted their fate, they would commonly talk to each other about their former animals and their new powers. I can also imagine them wearing things to represent their animal, like Redcloaks who summoned furry animals to wear fur dyed to match their animal's pattern, or people who were bonded to scaly animals to wear clothing sewed to look like scales.

Spirit Animals and Character Development
Has anyone ever realized how Rollan and Abeke, and Meilin and Conor all have opposite character developments?
(I've never seen this talked about, so I'll just have to talk about it.)
Rollan: His arc is all about learning to put more faith in people. He learns to trust more. After bonding with Tarik, he learns that it's okay to have people that you can trust, care about, and lean on. He learns that some people are trustworthy and that trust can be earned.
Abeke: Her arc centers around learning to trust less. At the beginning of the series, she blindly puts her trust in Shane and Zerif. Later, she learns her trust was misplaced. At the end of the first series, we see her fight Shane and yell at him about how she trusted him and he essentially lied to her the whole time. She learns that although people can seem kind, they may not actually be.
Meilin: Her arc is about how to step down and not be so controlling all the time. Give other people a chance to lead, to make decisions. She needs to step down from a leader-like position in the group and let others' opinions be heard. She needs to be less of a leader and more of a follower.
Conor: His arc centers around being more of a leader. He learns to trust himself, step up as leader, and be less of a follower. He learns that even though he messed up when he gave away the Iron Boar, he can still step up and make decisions and lead the group. He learns to be more sure of himself and less shy.
I love Reilin and Coneke as much as the next person, but platonic Rollan x Abeke and platonic Meilin x Conor is something that I don't see much of. I think it's so interesting that their character developments are mirror images of each other. They need to be a bit more like the other person was at the beginning of the book. It also creates an opportunity where the characters can learn these traits from each other, and I really enjoyed how it played out in the books. It's such an interesting dynamic.
It also shows how neither extreme is ever healthy: you shouldn't trust people too little, lest you end up like Rollan, but you shouldn't trust people too much, either, or else you'll end up like Abeke. You shouldn't be too controlling and bossy, or else you'll end up like Meilin, but you shouldn't be afraid to step up either, lest you end up like Conor.
I don't know if the writers did this intentionally, or if it was just a byproduct of the characters, but either way, I love the way this was handled.

My Possibly Controversial Spirit Animals Headcanon
It’s always Conbeke or Shabeke, but hear me out—Wobeke
Yes. Worthy and Abeke. I’m not going to say it’s canon necessarily, but I totally ship it. Not to knock the other two ships, I do think they were both great and I feel like Conbeke should be the slow burn that we all need.
BUT
Wobeke could’ve been THE COOLEST. Worthy was my Zuko, okay. I was and still am obsessed with the redemption arc of Devin Trunswick that deserves WAY more hype. And you know who was a big part of that redemption arc? Abeke.
Abeke was the first person who gave Worthy a second chance. She understood the grayness of morality and really helped him become part of the group, and he helped her get through her grief about Shane. He’s also adorable, like come on. In Wildcat’s Claw, there’s a scene where they’re walking ahead of everyone else, just talking about their sad feelings and aaaaaah. And in the Dragon’s Eye, Abeke is the one who finds Worthy. I cannot tell you how much I wanted more of them in that book, at least a good goodbye.
I like the other Abeke ships, but I feel like Worthy and Abeke could’ve been SO GOOD. The tension after Devin literally kidnapped her in Hunted (which is by my girl Maggie Stiefvater:), the tension after everything that happened in Tales of the Fallen Beasts, Abeke being the only one to hear him out, Abeke learning how there’s so much hope and kindness and loyalty behind Devin’s outer shell, Devin making her laugh and telling her things about Shane.
Afafsgsgdhdhfh yeah. Wobeke.

Ideas
I’ve been reading through some of the older SA posts and I’ve found some stuff about the bond tokens, and I just wanna put my penny on the topic. I didn’t like the ending of the series, it felt rushed, too many things were left just like that. Too many questions! So, I just wanna make this post and talk about my personal opinion on the last books. 
The bond token idea was very interesting, I would have loved to see these tokens hinted at throughout the series, but I guess they were made later to create more conflict. The tokens which were made by the Four Fallen weren’t great. I swear, I thought that Abeke’s bow did something so cool and then I reread the book and was like ‘oh, ok I guess…’ . I think that the bond tokens should give the user a supernatural ability, along with something to represent the bond which created said token.
First of all, the tokens and then some other points over the story:
Conor’s crook was an interesting choice, it kinda shows that he is still a shepherd even after everything that has happened and I truly love it! I don’t love what it does though. Giving him more keen senses is something that his bond with Briggan does just fine. It is enhanced, but it’s too enhanced for even a wolf, I mean being able to smell that one of the guard’s teeth hurt? (I think that happened), find me a wolf that can do that and ima dedicate my life to that guy. It’s not terrible per say, but it’s not great either. 
I would have liked the talisman to connect him to nature or other wolves. Example, he could communicate with them, similar to how Briggan did in Fire and Ice. Maybe even giving him some command over them. And maybe, the talisman could give him clearer visions, I know he has them now, but to gain a slight improvement would be nice. 
Abeke’s talisman was the most disappointing to me. For some reason I don’t even know, I remembered the bow having the ability to conjure arrows out of thin air. So like, you do the motion of putting an arrow on the string and boom! an arrow! But no, it just gives extra jump height. Very disappointing. This ability is the same one that Arax’s talisman had, why would her bond with Uraza produce something so similar? I think that giving her the unlimited arrow bow would have made a lot more sense, considering Uraza is a hunter, and if my memory isn’t tricking me again, Abeke accepted that her spirit animal is one. The bow could also give her better agility, or maybe the instincts of a leopard, much like the amber leopard did.
Meilin’s talisman is a somewhat failed great idea. Giving her the ability to heal was a great choice, in my opinion, but I also think that the hair pin is something that you could easily loose. Say you fell off a ship and in the churning water, you gonna find the pin? No, of course not. But it’s fine, the pin her father gave her, alright. The amount of healing that the pin gives isn’t enough to save a life (if I’m not mistaken), and the calming aura that it gives was turned away by Song as if it didn’t even exist. 
I think giving her actually strong healing could improve the token, along with the ability to somewhat cloud the minds of others, if you wanna call it that. Similar to what Mulop was doing to help the Redcloaks in The Burning Tide. But not only that, the clouding could have other emotions mixed in, so that the user could inflict a certain emotion upon someone for a short period of time. Using it would be very energy draining though. 
Rolan’s talisman is actually really good. It really represents him and his bond with Essix, and gives a supernatural power. I can say it would be cool to give him enhanced sight too, just like a bird’s, but it’s honestly great both ways.
Now some other points:
Because the tokens are so strong, I’m considering it would be cool if there being a small conflict where some people said “Ok, we saw what happened with the talismans of the Great Beasts, why should we let a group of children have all this power?” Ultimately the tokens stay with the Four Fallen and their partners, cause it’s a part of them, and they risked their lives to create them. 
If the tokens have a piece of the soul, I can imagine that the Great Beasts would carry their tokens around after their parters died, maybe even talking to their spirits. That would be so wholesome. 
Also, if the tokens can’t be broken (as far as I know), then the Wildcat’s claw and the other bond token that was lost could be found again, which could lead to another conflict, and that would be cool, I think. Where a group, or groups of people are trying to collect all 8 of the current tokens and meet the Four Fallen and the other legends.

THERE’S A THIRD SA SERIES??? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE ORIGINALS AND THE WYRM ARC????
Hi!
The funny thing is, it's not actually a "third series", it's more a continuation of the second series. But I've always thought of it as a completely separate series, because it has a completely different arc.
So there are eighteen books total:
First series:
Wild Born
Hunted
Blood Ties
Fire and Ice
Against the Tide
Rise and Fall
The Evertree
Second series:
Immortal Guardians
Broken Ground
The Return
The Burning Tide
Series break (or start of third series):
Heart of the Land
The Wildcat's Claw
Stormspeaker
The Dragon's Eye
Special Editions:
Tales of the Great Beasts
Tales of the Fallen Beasts
The Book of Shane (sometimes you'll see it split up into Venom, Vendetta, Vengeance, and Venture, because it was originally four e-books that got made into one physical copy later)
Hope this helped! If you haven't read it, I highly recommend reading the third arc, because it does go into some stuff that you may consider to be the "culmination" of the main four's character arcs. There are some out there that do think that the way it was executed was a little bit weird, but I think it was definitely worth the read.
