This week on Unwise Girls, we close out The Hidden Oracle by talking about uncapitalized-on moments of angst, actually thematically relevant climaxes, MMO poison aura, an unexpectedly horny crossover, the surprising return of an old theory of Jane's, Rick's pachinko fixation, good people, carefully eliding relationship cleanup, the happy return of Hunkmuffin and company, and how we rate this overall in the grand scheme of Riordan's work.

Come back next week for The Dark Prophecy, ch. 1 to 5!

This week on Unwise Girls, we talk about how great it can feel to quit a job - oh, and also about the book, of course. We discuss increasingly halfhearted poetry, god-tier deflection, Zeus's most apt rhyme, the different ways trauma can manifest itself, Woody Guthrie as a perfect vector for Rick's politics, the power of limericks, and a quick and dirty stop in the prophecy prediction corner.

Come back next week for The Hidden Oracle, ch. 35 to 39!

This week on Unwise Girls, we're finally having a proper introduction to our big villain for the series (or at least the next few books) - and he's actually really fucked up!! We talk about how Rick more and less successfully sets up Monsieur Beast, U.S. endgoals, the clear view across Apollo's arc, the legitimacy of the gods, self-serving sorrow, and how abuse can warp a child's worldview.

This week on Unwise Girls: After exploring the mystery of the Great Riordan Website Wipe, we continue on through the Hidden Oracle and talk about ambiguously originated ants, extensive plagiarism, hippie punching, re-litigating the heart of the west, an update on Joan of Arc, calling into question the legitimacy of the gods, twilight lives, and the ungodly trio of willpower, drive, and urgency

This week on Unwise Girls we talk about the animal world turning against Jane, slowing the pace down, missed opportunities for some great black comedy, the death of The Sun King, superhero origin stories and our fan-casting, retcons that work more or less smoothly, some real uncomfortable implications about Rachel Elizabeth Dare's relationship with Apollo, traitor theories, and House Harpies.

This week on Unwise Girls we talk about a genuine day in the life at Camp Half-Blood, the promise of five straight bangers, murder mystery stylings, how angry we are about Rick writing out our favorite character, swerving deep into the River Styx very suddenly, birth dads, the religion of science, 4000 year old failboys, and how you can play with mythical notoriety.

After a little bit of show-and-tell, this week of Unwise Girls kicks off with us finally getting into groove with The Hidden Oracle. We talk about coping with your teenage dad, ally-coding, the isolation you experience when you're alone with people you don't share a language with and also they cut your arms off, the where-they-are-now for the Heroes of Olympus, more problematizing of the Greek/Roman binary, Chiron being a sad guy, and prophecizing The End of History.

This time, welcome back to Camp Half-Blood for real! We're here with Apollo, Meg, and all our favorite friends. Now, let's gather around the campfire, drink our bug juice, and take this week on Unwise Girls to discuss the potential for redemption in the works of Rick Riordan, timeline slip-ups, Apollo suffering so that Magnus may thrive, the dwindling population of Camp Half-Blood, connections to Caligula, and transcending the Greek/Roman binary.
