• Make sure you’re keeping up with the @PercySeries Instagram for some fun posts!
• Have you gotten Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Official Cookbook yet?
• Have you taken the Camp Half-Pod fatal flaw quiz yet?
• We had a great time taking it, but maybe not such a great time being read for filth by our results.
• Since we were split on some of our answers, we decided to take it a second time to see if our results changed!

• Let’s start off our Chalice of the Gods discussion with chapter 26, “I Negotiate the Terms of My Disintegration.”
• It’s time to wrestle a god! If we had a nickel every time we heard that one…
• Really, Percy has no good choice here. On the plus side, we love how introspective Percy is in this book. (Thanks, Mark!)
• We totally understand why the gods are superfans of Geras.
• There are so many amazing quotes in this chapter.
• Percy has been through this a time or two, so he knows to clarify the terms of the deal. He also has conditions! Very important conditions.
• Annabeth is the brains of this operation. And Grover is the doughnut man.
• “I love you…but you’re not Hercules.”
• Why is it SO FUNNY that Percy hates Hercules so much?
• It’s really interesting that Percy considers giving up on his quest but just can’t do it. And therein lies his fatal flaw.
• Thank goodness for plot armor!
• Grover’s offer of doughnuts almostttt changes Geras’ mind.
• Geras is pretty quick for an old guy!
• As always, we discuss our favorite lines and favorite moments.
• Now it’s time to get into chapter 27, “My Dying Words Are Super Embarrassing.”
• The fight has begun! Percy barely got away from Geras’ first move.
• We love the comments from the peanut gallery.
• Percy’s got some great initial ideas for how to defeat old age.
• Eat your fiber!
• Why didn’t Percy’s water powers work on Geras?
• Once again, we see what kind of connection Percy and Annabeth have—and we are LIVING for it!
• Geras really isn’t someone you want to mess with. The dude is STRONG.
• Why does Rick have to bring up Jason so casually!?
• There’s a reason we still read Rick Riordan books—not just for the humor but also because of the deeper meanings.
• We lament about our age a little bit, but in reality, we still feel in development and not like a real person—and that’s okay!
• Let’s not forget about our favorite lines and favorite moments.

• Solomon writes in with a suggestion for a new board game we might enjoy.
