    022: The Titan’s Curse (Part 1) by Rick Riordan

    We discuss the beginning of The Titan’s Curse, in which a rescue mission goes horribly wrong, Annabeth is taken captive by the enemy, and two gods swoop in to save the day… a little too late. We might have some rants about that. Book trigger warnings: https://booktriggerwarnings.com/The_Titan%27s_Curse_by_Rick_Riordan Find us on social media!

    021: The Sea of Monsters (Part 3) by Rick Riordan

    We talked so long we had to split our episodes into three parts! Join Maggie, Rachel, and Lydia as we wrap up our discussion on The Sea of Monsters. As a bonus (?), we also go on a very long tangent about Six of Crows. NOTE: This episode does include some brief spoilers for later Percy Jackson books, The Trials of Apollo, and Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom.  Book trigger warnings: https://booktriggerwarnings.com/The_Sea_of_Monsters_by_Rick_Riordan Find us on social media!

    020: The Sea of Monsters (Part 2) by Rick Riordan

    Rachel, Maggie, and Lydia continue their discussion on second half of the Sea of Monsters! In this episode, Rachel misses her first trivia question (gasp) and we talk about Ares going to anger management classes (he should). Percy and Annabeth face plenty of fearsome foes in these chapters, and this is an episode you won’t want to miss! P.S. Happy Birthday, Percy!
