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!
Awesome, Thanks!
I love Rick Riordan! If you don't know, there's a new-ish series out - The Senior Year Adventures, which continues Percy's, Annabeth's, and Grover's adventures in their senior year involving recommendation letters and very annoyingly stubborn (as usual) gods and goddesses. The first two are out and they're really good! I also recommend The Sun and The Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro - it's about Nico di Angelo and Will Solace, and it's also super good. I also love Daughter of the Deep!
