- Shoutout to @JessycaJill, who won our art giveaway, and to @Hellredsky, for working with us on that!

End of the year round-up and reflection (00:10:26)
- Once again we really love that we switched over to one chapter an episode.
- We’re very proud of our episode titles, but which ones are our favorites?
- What’s the most interesting thing we learned in our pursuit of increasing our knowledge of mythology?
- Our memories are so bad, but we did think of a couple fun facts we enjoyed learning.
- And it’s not just Greek mythology that fascinated us!
- The books Karen was talking about were Skin of the Sea and Soul of the Deep by Natasha Bowen.
- It’s so hard to pick a favorite interview since everyone has been lovely, and we managed to talk about pretty much all of them.
- In particular, make sure you go back and listen to our chat with Roseanne A. Brown and Roshani Chokshi but also Daniel José Older.
- There are so many talented people in the Percy Jackson fandom, but we have to shout-out a couple of our favorite artists we’ve discovered this year.
- There’s definitely been an Annabeth Chase art renaissance, and we are so here for it.
- All of the Sun and the Star artwork has been incredible, but a special shout-out to @AlessiaTrunfio (Kristen’s choice picks: here and here).
- Obviously Sarah (@Hellredsky) is one of our favorites, and Soia also has a special place in our hearts. And how could we forget about @Velinxi.
- Were you as surprised by the length of our longest episode as we were?
- What about our shortest episode? Did we ever get under an hour?
- We got a lot of big announcements this year, but which ones stick out in our minds the most?
- It’s so hard to concentrate when there’s so much awesome Percy Jackson news in the world.
- Chalice of the Gods was a really shocking announcement, and we’re still recovering.
- Surprise, surprise, we had a lot to talk about this episode.
- Percy Jackson and the Olympians is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian (00:54:21)
- We’re here to talk about The Last Olympian chapter 17.
- We’re coming up on the end of this book pretty quickly!!
- We don’t want to talk about Silena dying OR the fact that she was the traitor, but we have to.
- This was a great twist to the book, and it would’ve been hard to guess.
- Are we upset with Silena for being the traitor?
- CLARISSE DRAKON-SLAYER, FIRST OF HER NAME.
- The Blessing of Ares is super interesting, especially because it makes Clarisse momentarily invulnerable.
- Who does Percy summon with Mrs. O’Leary?
- Okay, why was Leneus’ death so sad???
- Aryan is going to be so great as Grover. We can see it so clearly.
- That elevator ride was a beautiful full circle moment.
- Is the Empire State Building guard mortal?
- We have another Will Solace sighting!
- How do we feel about Annabeth’s confession that she no longer thinks Luke can be saved?
- Okay, hear us out: Rachel is Jacob. Percy is Bella. Mount Olympus is Renesmee.
- It would’ve been nice to see a conversation between Annabeth and Rachel after this moment.
- The moment at the hearth is what the sand dollar scene should’ve been like!
- Thank goodness Poseidon decided to listen to Percy.
- Kronos is near!
Feedback (01:38:09)
- Daphne Olive totally agrees with us that Frozen II is the best Frozen.
