This week, we’re stepping into one of Percy’s most dangerous quests yet: The Battle of the Labyrinth!

Join us as we follow the gang through a maze of shifting walls, deadly traps, and surprising allies. Annabeth is leading our quest with the help of Percy, Grover, Tyson and even, dare I say, Rachel Elizabeth Dare!

Bari and Emily unpack the craziest twists and turns in this book with a special guest, Marge! Marge joins Reads and Rants to rant about her all time favorite book, and we had so much fun!

We’re breaking down:

🌟 Percy and Annabeth’s first kiss!

🌟 Grover’s bittersweet meeting with Pan (cue the tears)

🌟 Finding Daedalus’s workshop in the Labyrinth

🌟What’s next for Camp Half Blood

We end this episode with a round of “This or That: Labyrinth Edition” and tackling some fun listener questions—like which monster we’d least want to face (hint: it’s not the Sphinx).

Questions of the Week:

If you were assigned a quest, which three characters from this book would you take with you, and why?
If Daedalus could design something for you, what would it be, and why?
Which god or goddess would you want to accept help from?

Let us know @ReadsAndRantsPod—we’re dying to hear your answers!
