Julia and Victoria make a glorious return to Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series with The Sea of Monsters, in which the heroes complete Odysseus’ ten-year journey in just four days. J & V revisit the “girl power” scenes with Circe as adults, and they have Feelings.
Note: While we're discussing a YA novel, our episode is not intended for young listeners. We use some mild profanity and mention some adult topics.
