132: The God of Rational Centrism

The Sword of Summer, ch. 19 to 22 This week on Unwise Girls, we're a bit lower energy but no less enthusiastic for this book than we have been! This week we discuss our surprisingly optimistic hopes for what's seeming to be a pretty traditional Riordan adventure, one-to-one parallels with Lightning Thief, embracing battle royale ridiculousness, Sun Tzu's advice for Ragnarok, Magnus's critical position toward militarism, gaps in video game culture, Loki's motivations and proclivities, the grey areas of prophecy, the mystery of Gunilla, Dark Elfs in fantasy, rogue einherjar, and the funny IKEA shark. Come back next week for The Sword of Summer, ch. 23 to 28! Check out our Patreon!
