Written in the Margins

We're back for season 2, and we're starting off the summer with the Heroes of Olympus series (not at all corresponding with the recent casting announcements for the new Percy Jackson series ;)). In one of our shorter and more low-energy episodes we discuss our weird hatred of Jason and Piper, the risk Riordan takes with not putting Percy in the first book, and how excited we are to read the rest of the series.

We finally conclude season 1!!! We conclude our second ever series with City of Heavenly Fire. In this episode we talk about the book's outrageous length, unnecessary introduction of new characters, and the entire book just being an ad for the Dark Artifices (I promise that we actually liked this book).

How do I explain this episode? Allison was sick and took too much cold medicine. Hence, 90% of it is random pop culture references, and the other 10% is incoherent, explaining the second Mortal Instruments book, City of Ashes. You can hear the exact moment this episode goes downhill when Allison asks how much cough medicine she should take, ignores Jordan's warning that she's taking too much, then proceeds to drink way too much.
