205: Spring Break - The Cursed Carnival

The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories About Mythic Heroes This week on Unwise Girls, we are... back to Rick Riordan? Wait, isn't it a week early? Ah, wait, no, I see - it's Rick Riordan Presents! We decided to try out a little sampler platter of what the Riordan-led book imprint featuring various authors telling stories of the mythologies of their own culture has to offer, and we found out that it's a lot... a lot! We discuss successful genre departures, annoying dialogue, the difficulties of bringing stories from preexisting novels into the short story format, Gum Baby, and... what's this... a new exciting work by Rick Riordan? No, no, that can't be right. Come back next week for The Tower of Nero, ch. 1 to 5! Check out our Patreon!
