New Year, New Book! Can you believe we have made it this far?!? Devastating. Crucial. Exhausting. Incredible. Joined by brand new guest, Marianna, we take a look at the opening four Jason POV chapters, dive into Ithaca and the myth of Odysseus, savor the first few Percabeth crumbs of this book, and confirm that Annabeth and Jason really have always been beefin.

(ICYMI: We're back to weekly episodes, doing 4 chapters a week, with our guests sticking around for 2 episodes at a time, mark your calendars, set your alarms, smash that like and subscribe button, jk, but do follow)

Happy New Year and welcome to some reflective circle time! We revisit each of the Seven's individual growth in this book and discuss whether or not The House of Hades is Rick's greatest work. Then we listen and respond to some listener voice memos and messages, and finally start a New Year's resolutions and predictions tradition.

We'll be taking one week off and then beginning on The Blood of Olympus!

Ch. 73-80 The finale we've all been waiting for! Told through Hazel and Percy's POV, featuring Owen from Through the Mist. We witness the glorious end of the Frank/Hazel/Leo (dare we say) love triangle. We encounter our final boss battle with Pasiphae and Clytius and maybe get some help from a betorched goddess along the way. Once all is said and done, we share a beautifully bittersweet picnic, say our goodbyes for now, and sail into the sunset... towards our doom.

Follow Owen @Through_Mist on Instagram, and send him a message there if you want to request a deep dive into a particular topic on his next episode!

Ch. 65-72 ft. Caitlin AKA @PercabethFeelsFandom. When Caitlin's in the house, you know it's about to get emo. We've got the final phase of Frank's grow up glow up, and perhaps the most iconic moment in all of House of Hades! We're learning how to step up, then learning how to yield. We might cry a bit, or a lot, possibly many different times.

Ch.57-64 featuring Robert from The Dam Meme Page! It's getting real y'all. Jason is about to find out if it's a bones or no bones day with the Southern wind, and Tartarus itself is physically manifesting just to smite down Percy and Annabeth. We're wondering what kind of future Jason will have with Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter, and we're wondering WHO will be holding down the elevator button of the Doors of Death for 12 WHOLE MINUTES so the others can escape. We're thinking about our elders AND our descendants. Let's get into it.

Ch. 41-48, ft. bookseller and real life English major Alex Mann! Covering lots of territory this week from Piper's power-up (speaking life into Festus), to #DarkPercy poison-bending. Discussions surrounding the nature of charmspeak and femininity, the friendship we wish R.E.D. and Piper had, the bonding time Hazel and Piper finally get, and, as always, the power of friendship. Then, conceptualizing the Death Mist in a grotesquely bodied way, and a beautifully terrifying character arc for Mr. Percy.

Welcome to a very special interview with Lori M. Lee, the latest Rick Riordan Presents author of Pahua and the Soul Stealer! We've been ranting about how great this book is on twitter for weeks now, and we're so excited to share this conversation with you. Whether you've finished the book or haven't started, we hope you'll enjoy this episode about angry young women, slow burn friendships, fan fiction, and how we should look critically at the past.
