Chapter 13: Annabeth Tries to Swim Home | The Sea of Monsters

I hope you're listening with headphones this week because Percy Jackson is facing the Siren's song as he and Annabeth journey further into the Sea of Monsters. Connor and Jack are discussing how this chapter has it all. We're breaking down the emotional moments that give this chapter depth for the characters and some solid son-of-the-sea-god action before taking on two very different myths. First, Connor is addressing some of the set dressing and talking about the volcanic island forges of Hephaestus before exploring the surprisingly intricate lore of the Sirens.
