5 Book Series by Rick Riordan To Try

1. Percy Jackson

You know you're going to see this name here, since it's only the most famous series by Rick Riordan, and one of the most loved YA books ever. 

The protagonist is a dyslexic boy called Percy who lives a more or less normal life with his mother, when he discovers that his dad is actually a Greek God, which makes him a powerful demigod. He has to go away to training camp where he learns to fight, goes on many quests, makes lots of new friends, and meets all sorts of mythological characters. 

2. The Heroes of Olympus

This and Percy Jackson is one of the very series which I have read multiple times. It's not only the story that keeps the readers hooked but also the funny and entertaining writing style for which the author is so famous.

This book involves both the Greek demigods as well as those from the Roman camp. There is a mix of cultures and Gods as two enemy camps are forced to unite to defeat a common enemy. I love this series very much, for it has a lot of plot twists, as well as the right amount of action, jokes, mythology and fantasy.

3. The Trials of Apollo

This series is about the Greek god Apollo's adventures on Earth after he gets kicked off Mount Olympus by Zeus. He meets a girl called Meg and together they go on quests to save the Oracles and travel to all sorts of weird places like talking forests and burning mazes and creepy caves. 

The story is very interesting and Apollo is a fun character to read about.

4. Magnus Chase

Magnus Chase, the protagonist of the series is a 16-year-old demigod from the Norse universe of Asgard as well as the cousin of Greek demigod Annabeth Chase. After his mother was killed by wolves when he was 14, Magnus ended up living on the streets until he died and entered Valhalla with the help of Samirah. There he travels between worlds and has many exciting adventures.

I did not like this series as much as the others but it's probably due to the high standards the other series set, and this one isn't bad by itself, with a lot of interesting information about the Norse worlds.

5. The Kane Chronicles

The Kane Chronicles follows the story of Carter and Sadie Kane, and their discovery that they are the most powerful Egyptian magicians to be born in hundreds of years. As the Egyptian gods begin to awaken, the siblings must fight the forces of Chaos in order to maintain order and harmony as well as the creative power of the universe. 

The siblings had been separated since the death of their mother but now they must unite to embark on a dangerous journey to save their father. It involves a lot of Gods and magic and myths, and various intriguing characters.

The series are all full of excitement, mythological creatures, quests, suspense, and riddles. Rick Riordan is an amazing author, one whom I love a lot, and all his books are worth a read.
