Book suggestions for people who love Percy Jackson

Hey there! I love reading the Percy Jackson series and I know some of the other users on the forums do too, so here are some book recommendations for people who love Percy Jackson!

  • Any of Rick Riordan’s other series - Heroes of Olympus (continues the story of Camp Half-Blood and introduces Roman Demigods), The Kane Chronicles (Siblings who are Egyptian magicians and descendants of the pharaohs - it’s pretty cool), Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard (Norse demigods - the main character is the cousin of Annabeth Chase from the Percy Jackson series) and the Trials of Apollo (As a punishment, Apollo gets placed in the body of a sixteen year old and has to earn his immortality back)

  • Any of the Rick Riordan Presents books - Books written by authors about their culture’s mythology including Mayan, Korean, and Indian

  • The Seven Wonders series by Peter Lerangis - Based on Greek mythology and the seven wonders of the ancient world

  • The Mark of the Thief series by Jennifer Nielsen - A teenage slave in ancient Rome must master the magic of the gods to save Rome and earn his freedom

  • The Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull - Two siblings discover a safe haven for mythical creatures in their uncle’s backyard

  • The Savage Fortress by Sarwat Chadda - Recommended by Rick Riordan; centers around Indian mythology

Not demigods! They are Magicians, the most powerful of the magicians (including Carter and Sadie) are the descendants of Egyptian Pharoahs.

I really liked Bartimaeus, which isn’t really based on any mythology but is incredibly interesting and has magic.
