Description

• On January 10, The Sword of Hades will be re-released with a The Sun and the Star sneak peek. Are you going to pre-order it?
• One of the biggest books to come out this year will be The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro, which will release on May 2.
• Here’s everything we know about The Sun and the Star so far.
• We speculate what we might get when we read Chalice of the Gods, which comes out on September 26.
• And let’s not forget the Rick Riordan Presents imprint! What books can we look forward to in 2023?
• First up on the list is Winston Chu vs. the Whimsies by Stacey Lee, who will be releasing her first book under RRP.
• We loved Ballad & Dagger, so it should come as no surprise that Last Canto of the Dead by Daniel José Older is at the top of our lists for 2023.
• Next up, we have The Last Fallen Realm by Graci Kim, which will wrap up the Gifted Clans series.
• Roshani Chokshi is writing another book for RRP, this time about Filipino mythology!
• Obviously we can’t wait for the second book in the Serwa Boateng series by Roseanne A. Brown. And maybe it won’t be the last!
• We really need to read City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda…if only so we can read Fury of the Dragon Goddess.
• This fall, we can also expect Pahua and the Dragon’s Secret by Lori M. Lee to hit store shelves.
• 
  Moko Magic by Tracey Baptiste also promises to be great, and we wonder if there will be any similarities to Ballad & Dagger.
• And even though we haven’t covered the books yet on the podcast, we’re excited for the next book in the Shadow Bruja series by J.C. Cervantes.
• Many of the Rick Riordan Presents authors have OTHER books coming out outside of the imprint. Which ones are we most looking forward to?
• First up, Roshani Chokshi gives us a Valentine’s Day treat with The Last Tale of the Flower Bride.
• And then there’s Tehlor Kay Mejia’s Lucha of the Night Forest, out on March 21.
• And then there’s Into the Light by Mark Oshiro, which has mushrooms on the cover, so you know it’s going to be cool.
• What announcements for Percy Jackson and the Olympians do we think we’ll get in 2023?
• They have to tell us who Zeus and Poseidon are eventually, right??
• Could we get a trailer by the end of the year?
• Will Percy Jackson attend SDCC? Will they be at D23 again?
• What if they did monster reveals!?
• Make sure you check out Aryan’s show on Paramount+, Adventures in Wonder Park.
• When could we expect a season 2 greenlight?
• As far as the Red Pyramid film coming to Netflix, we can probably expect the script to be finished.
• But we know it’s not coming out in 2023, so we need to be patient!
• What about a director? Or any casting announcements?
• What’s Prophecy Radio hoping to accomplish next year?
• We want to bring as many exclusives to you as we possibly can!
• But we’re super excited to start The Kane Chronicles.

• We’re talking about The Last Olympian chapter 18.
• How can Clarisse survive being turned into a block of ice?
• Chiron standing in between Kronos and Mount Olympus is pretty badass.
• Annabeth gave it a good old college try, but it just wasn’t enough.
• How could you not LOVE AND RESPECT Nico di Angelo until the ends of the Earth after this scene??
• Seeing Demeter and Persephone in action was pretty cool.
• And speaking of badasses—Paul and Sally can totally handle their own!
• Why does Ethan Nakamura have such a place of honor amongst Kronos’ army?
• We need more fanart from the Battle of Manhattan!

• A positive guy says he’s really looking forward to Serwa Boateng’s Guide to Witchcraft and Mayhem and Fury of the Dragon Goddess.
• Meanwhile, Phoebe’s got her heart set on The Sun and the Star.
