Mysteries of Mythology - From Darkness Into Light
In this segment of ‘From Darkness Into Light,’ we will follow Percy Jackson in his journey with the Olympians. We will have a slightly different take on this series since Mikaela has read it multiple times while Candice only read the first 3 books once years ago. We will compare our perspectives as new (somewhat) and old readers. We will also look a little bit into the accuracy of Riordan’s mythology. Beware! This podcast will have spoilers.
