The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid discussion (01:04:48)
- This week, we’re discussing The Red Pyramid chapter 19.
- It’s pretty cool that the entirety of the Louvre is a portal.
- Carter lost his sword, and this is such a foreign concept to us.
- If you already lost your sword, WHY WOULD YOU THROW YOUR WAND?
- Bast very helpfully throws the kids through the portal.
- We discuss the fact that the Washington Monument is the default portal in the U.S.
- Why can’t anyone read Thoth’s book? Is it because it’s too dangerous?
- For some reason Bast can’t understand why the kids prefer grilled cheese over Friskies.
- Did you know what the shape of an obelisk represented?
- Bast finally tells us more about her time being trapped in the obelisk, and honestly, it sounds horrible.
- Do we really think the monster didn’t escape?
- Sadie finally tells Carter about what Iskandar said.
- If their parents weren’t trying to release Bast, what were they trying to do!?
- We love Big Brother Carter.
