I love Rick Riordan but I’d already read all the Percy Jackson books—and then I discovered Magnus Chase. It is honestly funnier than his other series’. It moves along a little slower which is nice because Percy Jackson is super fast paced. Magnus Chase is also really funny while still being clever and action-packed. I am reading the second book now, but make sure to read them in order. There is only three.

If you love books by Rick Riordan, he has a series called The Kane Chronicles, which has a few stand-alones connected to it, as well as a crossover with Percy Jackson and Anabeth that come after the series, and is called Demigods and Magicians.
There is also a standalone novel called Daughter of the Deep, which is my personal favorite of his books. :)
Yes definitely read Daughter of the Deep! After I had finished it I had really wished it was a series, the plot twists in that book were just perfection. The Kane Chronicles is my favorite though, I love Egyptian mythology.
(I have also read all of the Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Magnus Chase, Trials of Apollo, and Kane Chronicles series, and then the Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicles crossover trilogy and The Sun and the Star, and then of course any of the extra books for any of the series. I have yet to read Wrath of the Triple Goddess but I will soon.)
Personally I love when there’s a long series (like Keeper of the Lost Cities or The Maze Runner, which at first glance only seemed like a trilogy but turns out it has 2 prequels, an extra book (it’s only 60 pages I think), a book from the POV of a side character, and then a duology set 70-something years in the future.) But it’s a lot to keep track of if you plan on reading almost all of the series by Rick (there are crossovers in all except DotD) I had to look up the order several times but I think I’ve memorized it now (as I seem to mention constantly, haha.) I was never at a loss of books!
