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!

Intro/outro: "Super Mariocean" by spacepony (https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01147)

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.

Come back next week for The Hidden Oracle, ch. 31 to 34!
