Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters: Chapters 1-7

11/6/2020

We break into The Sea of Monsters to discuss chapters 1-7 and get into conversations on dreams, poisoned trees, and how only in fiction do we allow absolutely terrible people to be responsible for children. We tackle the not-so-tough questions of when did you figure out that something was up with Tyson and when did Annabeth start stalking Percy? And we discuss the plural of cyclops. Stay tuned if you know what it is.

Next week we will be reading chapters 8-14 of book 2 in the series, the Sea of Monsters.

Percy and crew face off with basically everyone, and the true traitor is revealed, though we still have mixed feelings on the prophecy.

Next week we will be reading chapters 1-7 of book 2 in the series, the Sea of Monsters.

In this episode, Asia and Charles discuss chapters 9-15 of The Lightning Thief and get into lots of world building, a lot of action, and suspicious characters. We meet the war god and discuss how to cross the country with $100. Fittingly for all of Percy and crew’s drama, we finish the episode discussing each other’s greatest fears, and make our final hypotheses for how the book will end.

Welcome to the pilot episode of Throwback Paperback! Throwback Paperback is a new podcast on the Nerd Party network, where cohosts Asia Bonilla and Charles Scheland share young adult literature with each other and re-read books to see how they feel from an adult perspective.
