The Chalice of the Gods book tour has some very special guests. The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid discussion (00:15:37)

This week, we’re discussing The Red Pyramid chapter 22. It really shouldn’t be that easy to get through airport security? The set animal kind of looks like a moose, I guess? Bast wants them to run, but Carter wants to hold his ground, and we’re so proud of him. Is this Horus making him more reckless, or is he becoming braver? How awesome was it that he could just pull his sword from thin air? Carter then gets up close and personal with Leroy. Go, chicken-man, go! Leroy gets shoved in a locker, and it’s pretty impressive. Time to go to sleep, which means it’s time for Prophecy Count #37! There’s a giant underground red pyramid in Phoenix, and this does not bode well. We’re choosing not to picture Face of Horror. Unfortunately, it doesn’t sound like Set will underestimate Carter and Sadie again. Is Face of Horror working for another baddie? Can’t believe we’re leaving off on this chapter while we go read Chalice of Gods… Predictions for The Red Pyramid and beyond! (00:39:55)

Will Carter and Sadie’s mom ever come back into the story? Will Nephthys be able to convince Set to walk away from his evil machinations? Do we think Amos is going to survive this book?
