Unwise Girls

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 20 to 25 This week on Unwise Girls, we're touching plenty of grass and breathing in the seeds of our discontent and whatever else Shakespeare said. We discuss a delicious amount of Riordan Content:tm:, including our conflicting opinions on where Lavinia is headed as a character, Reyna doing the world's most obvious pining, an itemized list of ways that Camp J

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 14 to 19 This week on Angry Girls, we get real grumpy and pissed off. We talk all about STUFF WE NOTICED that we think SUCKS!!! Like, you ever think about how a lot of these books in the same children's franchise have a lot of similarities? Or how a lot of these characters are kinda surface level?? And there's not like, blood and guts and stuff all the time??

The Tyrant's Tomb, ch. 8 to 13 This week on Unwise Girls... eh? Who are you? Sorry, but I don't remember petty things like names or faces... it's all about vibes for me. This week, the vibe is pretty frickin' positive on the book - partially because we've been reading even better books at the same time. We discuss cyclops flesh, lesbian stereotypes, shitty kids who you just gotta l

The Burning Maze, ch. 36 to 41 This week on Unwise Girls, we keep it short and sweet as we... uh... seven letters, starts with D.... you get it, right? We're stuck in a word vortex! Puzzles abound as we talk about that god who is known for music, poetry, and charioteering the sun and his goofy little adventures with Rogrev and Gem. Ah, this is all a bit difficult to get across. Did

The Burning Maze, ch. 29 to 35 This week on Unwise Girls, we discuss... huh. Well, who could have seen that one coming? We talk about pretty much one thing in this episode, y'all, and it's one of the best choices Rick has made in writing these books in a long time. For maybe the first time, Apollo has to deal with consequences as the promise of an ever-so-slightly more mature and h

The Burning Maze, ch. 22 to 28 This week on Unwise Girls, oops! Maybe we spoke too soon on finally liking the book. We discuss Jane's quirky neuroses, the weak mysteries of love and the heart, broing out, waiting for that damn Styx curse, total Leo memoryholes, Apollo's strange taste in partners across history, Black Dynamite, Rick's heavy reliance on obscure music references to su

The Burning Maze, ch. 15 to 21 This week on Unwise Girls, we're putting the past behind us as we finally decide we like one of these books!
