Robert from @TheDamMemePage joins us to break down everything we know about The Court of the Dead, the upcoming Nico Di Angelo & Will Solace sequel to The Sun and the Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro, out September 23rd, 2025!

We analyze the cover art, and the copious special editions, get into some wild speculation, and wonder just how "bonkers" this new Percy Jackson-universe installment will be.

Reminder: We’re surfing the Sea of Spoilers, so everything from the Riordanverse (Percy Jackson, The Heroes of Olympus, The Sun and the Star, The Trials of Apollo) is fair game!
