114: Coming Out of the Dark

The House of Hades, ch. 75 to 78 Through the darkness of the House of Hades and Tartarus far below we finally emerge, and we're faced with the light at the end of the tunnel! As we finally shut this book for good, we talk about the lack of resolution for Nico's story and his troubled relationship with Percy, friendship hyperfixation, gem railguns, Clytius serving a Worf role against the crew, triple deities, the difficulties of working with a misogynistic mythology, Hecate's surprisingly minimal appearances, an abundance of swords, reunion brohugs, the sad fate of Scipio the pegasus, the nuclear option, parallel quests, and the wisdom of janitors. We also serve up a round of predictions for The Blood of Olympus (as well as a few bonus ones for Magnus Chase)! Come back next week for The Blood of Olympus, ch. 1 to 4! Check out our Patreon!
