173: Basically Crucifixion

The Hidden Oracle, ch. 27 to 30 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.
