me, having read all riordan books multiple times, seeing this video: i'd better watch this
this means so much!
Right 😂
SAMMMEEE
sameee
Agreed I read all of his books in 5 months tell me about it😭
Just when I think she's done, she pulls out six more books! 😂 This is a giant rabbit hole, isn't it?
deeper than you can even imagine
Deeper than the pits of tartarus
HAHA @@skywalker-tz7be
deeper than your moms poosai
I am trying to read all of the Percy Jackson books and I might get the Magnus chase ones
Don’t talk abt the Peter Johnson and the thunder thief😂😂😂😂😂
I think you mean the thunder burglar
Ummm pretty sure it’s Peter Johnson and the electric robber 😊
And the sequel, ocean of bad guys
@@DivineReunfication and the Giant's hex after that one
@@nicecleanrespectfulpizza8826 and the fight of the maze after that
My recommended order:
Original Percy Jackson series
Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero
Buford Short Story (since he appears quite a few times in later HOO books)
The rest of Heroes of Olympus
Percy Jackson: Chalice of the Gods
Trials of Apollo series
Sun & the Star
Then continue with whatever series or one-shot you want.
that sounds good if you just stick to the big three series
I’d also add that you should read the ‘sword of hades’ short story which can be found in the ‘demigod files’ book after you read the first five Percy Jackson books, but before ‘Heroes of Olympus’ because it gives a lot of extra story to Nico.
That intro capturing my confusion so well "you dont know! You just dont know!" I really dont! Save me unclaimed demigod!
that's what I'm here for!
PDFs looking clean
Graphic design is my passion
Well u should order book that is not good to read on mobile for your eyes
I just seem to not enjoy reading physical books, I always feel so much more motivated reading on my computer and/or phone, pdfs are normally free too.
Where is it
I still remember how much i panicked when i was new to the riordanverse and was completely lost abt the reading order😭
it's a very intimidating series to get into
Mee to
After so much media surrounding the show I enjoyed how passionate you are about the books 🤘
welcome to the channel!
This is so funny I started reading PJO last month and used your first guide to start!! I'm now on The Last Olympian :D Glad to have an updated guide!
Sounds like perfect timing to me!
Nothing could help me figure out the timeline I remember my exact 3 day reading span of Percy Jackson and the Olympians I read Lightning thief in one day, Sea of Monsters and Titans Curse day 2 (I wanted to meet Nico), Battle of the Labyrinth and Last Olympian day 3 my school friends left me friday and came back on Monday to a PJO fanatic
Thanks for making an updated version!!!
Of course 🫡
I read the original five Percy Jackson books when I was little (they were my brother's) and I loved the series.
Years later I realized that the Heroes of Olympus were Percy Jackson books, and I decided to read them, also loved them. (I also read part of the Red Pyramid, but I don't think I finished the book?)
I thought the series ended there, maybe there was a little more content, but it was over... and you just shattered my world view, and now I'm very indecisive. I want to read the new books, but at the same time I'm kind of afraid it will ruin the perception of the series I have, 'cause I read it years ago and in my mind it's still perfect, a masterpiece. When I ended the fourth book of Hero's of the Olympus it left kind of weird, after TONS of hours I had finally finished it, at least I thought, 'cause it would be a year or two later until I got my hands on the final book, and after that, even if I was a little upset at the time, I accepted it was over, and it was better that way, cause then it couldn't be ruined, 'cause you know, authors tend to overextend popular things until they can't be exploted further... Now, idk, maybe I'm wrong and the new books are great, but I can't get the idea that it could ruin the series out of my head.
Maybe one day I'll return to the series and re-read the books (For like the third or fourth time, still a long time since the last time tho) and after that I'll decide, depending if the series still feels somewhat like when I last visited it.
Nonetheless, thank you for the video!
Well, I mean, I also watched the two movies, but they were shit, thank god they couldn't ruin the next book...
I also discovered that they made a show, but that I won't watch, I had some bad experiences with adaptations, that's a line I won't cross for this series. And I don't care if it's actually great, I won't risk that one of the book series that marked my childhood, getting butchered by Netflix or whoever. If the author ruins the books, that I can endure, at the end of the day they are his books, but not to see something like the adaptation of the second book... Xd, don't take me to seriously tho, If people like it I won't hate, I just will refrain of watching it, the new books are free game, tho'.
Tysm for this video!! I was so confused after reading the og series where to start, and this helped a lot. It's been like 2 months, but I'm already starting on Trials Of Apollo- I'm addicted to this series
your videos have resparked my love for the pjo universe. i read the og series in middle school and now that the shows out i wanted to revisit it again and finally read the rest of the series. i’m about to start the last hero and your original video helped me figure out the order i want to read them in. i’m so glad you did an updated one and it’s so in depth! thank you!!
This makes me so happy!
You mean th Peter Johnson movie
What movie?
Mr D is that you there
Naurrr not the peter jonhson movie😭😭
i literally just watched your previous guide like 2 days ago and was going back to it when you posted this
perfect timing! use the pdfs I made (they're pretty)
i literally made a chart based off your old video a couple months ago and have been following that even though quite a few books have come out since then so thank you for this, this is so helpful!! and the pdf is beautifully designed and so easy to follow
"he pdf is beautifully designed and so easy to follow" you don't know how happy this makes me 🩵
finally, a way for me to re-read the series
I think it's the perfect time to do it
Seeing the books on the shelf behind you that I’ve read makes me so happy because you are one of my *favorite* book people on CZcams.
i’m watching this even tho ik the order already 🤭 i love watching ur videos, but i’ve been a silent watcher ^^
Thank you so much for watching even though you know the order 🩵
I love how much effort you put into this. From replying to comments to doing AMAZING videos. This one is really nice.
P.S.: You were my inspiration to start my own Riordanverse Channel!
Wow I am honored! Thanks so much for supporting my channel
😅😀😀
thank u so much for this ✨the no spoilers is very much appreciated bc i’ve had so much spoiled when trying to d figure out the order
You are so welcome!
Thank you this helped a lot I just finished pjo and was getting confused of what to read next this really set me straight thank your for dumbing to down for me 😂❤❤
My pleasure, so happy it helped!
OMG I NEEDED THIS ❤
Glad to be of service :)
Thanks ive been waiting formthis
Thanks for waiting 😌
Thank you for this information I have been wanting to get into this series but I had no idea where to start 😅
Brooklyn House Magician’s Manual does have some short stories, but like really short and not that important BUT it should definetely be read AFTER demigods and magicians because one of the short stories spoils the ending of the collab book ;)
I’m going to have to read it now after knowing that!
To avoid spoilers it contains a conclusion to a plot thread from Demigods and Magicians.
@@themythosarchives7520 Didn’t I just say that or does my comment contain spoilers?
I’m jsu5 starting to read the first Percy jackson book and i really like so it so far Ty for this, bc I didn’t know what order to read them in😊
Happy to help!
this is amazing i just finished the first 5 books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and wanted to know what's next to buy
Perfect timing!
THANK U SM FOR THISSS
YOU ARE SO WELCOME
Im going to subscribe to u bc of the alice Oseman books in book shelf im in love with her books and thank u so much for this video i was looking for the order to read the pjo series bc my boy bff is a huge fan and i adore the greek mythology so i decided to read the pjo series n i didn't know where to start

THXXX I just started reading and I read the graphic novels but wanted to read the og books ones and so I’m using the dummy guide
Hope its helpful!
@@Unclaimeddemigodit really is 😊
I JUST WANT TO ADMIRE HOW YOU REPLY TO EVERY COMMENT!
YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT COMMENT CREATOR
HAHAHA THANK YOU
Awesome video ‼️💯 I need to get books 2,3,4,&5 of the Percy Jackson series as well as the chalice of the gods and the Sun and the stars because Nico and Will 🩶🖤🧡💛 ‼️I do have all the other series. Although my heroes of Olympus series are pretty worn out because I love this series. Also the chalice of the gods take place before the trials of Apollo and I think during Magnus Chase. 😅
my "the lost hero" copy is falling apart
Me waiting for this
Thank you
You are so very welcome!
I just love Rick Riordans brain like how in the world someone was able to create a whole entire world like this is just crazy to me but im so dang glad cause its the best set of books i personally have ever read. I cant wait for Trials of Apollo now 🤣 i aint know what it was about until this and im so hyped 😂 ima finish Mark of Athena today i should be on Trials of Apollo by this weekend 😂 (audiobooks are my best friend
Good luck finishing Mark of Athena!
Could you tell me the books that I don't HAVE to read in the riordanverse? New subscriber btw. I started looking into Percy Jackson books and I had no idea that there were so many. I'm really glad I have a video for this. ❤
Thank you soooooo much. Trying to research this has been a total nightmare! I have already read all 5 of the Olympians books and have been trying to figure out what’s next. Because I’m already out of order apparently for publishing order and chronological I’ll probably just stick with dummy. Thank u!!!
Dummy order is the best order imo!
This is so helpful tysm
AHHHH This is soo helpful Thank you so much !!!!
I just started reading the percy jackson universe 4 months ago (I'm on Son of Neptune now)and I'm still very confused about the order of these books
I have a whole list here now (yes I took notes and its 6 pages ) and I totally agree with you with the book about the hunters of artemis , like I would LOVE to know more about them and their hunts
6 pages OMG! I'm so glad this was helpful :)
GIRL THANK YOU SO MUCH
YOU ARE SO VERY WELCOME
I red the first Pjo book in sixth grade I’m now in seventh I got the rest of the books (aka the frost series like a year ago and didn’t read it until til I got tutoring for my dyslexia so I can actually read better but anyways i watched the show while I finnshed up the first book it was amazing and now I’m on the 4 book and I saw this cause I saw how many series’s their where and I didn’t know where to start and now I found this!
let me know if it helps and what order you end up choosing!
the pdfs slay fr
this means so much to me
We absolutely need the diy video of how to do the pearls and maybe sword
I don't think I'm at that level but I can definitely do a beaded necklace one!
@@Unclaimeddemigod yeah with pearls i meant The necklaces:D
Thank you for this! Im currently about halfway through The Last Olympian (I havent read any of the companion books yet) and wasn't sure where to go afterwards because nobody on google seems to agree on the order.
I'm glad this helps, the reading order is way to complicated!
I was the complete opposite on Camp Jupiter Classfied, I loved it though that’s probably due to how I read it. I read the 5 main series (this was before The Sun and the Star came out) then at some point after I read Chalice of the Gods I just decided to read every side novel since a bunch were available on Libby (also so I could make a tier list/ranking video). I loved Camp Jupiter Classified for being not an encyclopedia of camp, but a very different type of story that added to the universe even if it didn’t add to the main plot. We haven’t really gotten much material set in Camp Jupiter so I appreciated it for fleshing it out. It also had more to the minor gods and it introduced the only character besides Frank who is a demigod and a legacy. I guess I’d say I loved it because of what it added to the universe.
I have similar thoughts on Son of Magic. Though its existence technically means The Sun and the Star isn’t the first author collab since The Demigod Diaries was written by Rick and Haley.
There’s technically also Kane Chronicles Survival Guide which is basically the KC equivalent of Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Ultimate guide with similarly bad art and almost as useless because it has next to no information not in the main series.
On top of that there’s also Demigods of Olympus, an interactive adventure where it’s sort of choose your own adventure about a demigod who doesn’t know who his godly parent is and he’s on a quest with a satyr and they can’t go to camp so they’ve got to figure it out as they go. I think it takes place during Heroes of Olympus which is why they can’t go to camp, but it can honestly be read totally separate from anything else in the universe. I love the story of this one, but I didn’t think it needed to be choose your own adventure.
How do I know about all these? The Riordan Wiki.
I'm glad someone enjoyed it at least!
I am thinking of reading it in somewhat the chronological order, but not exactly, like i wouldn't change between series, like after reading the last Olympian getting to the Kane Chronicles, because they are don't really influence each other, and you know reading the whole of Magnus Chase before getting into TOA, but just because I am going rearead them for like the sixth time, for some of these books, and when i was younger i read it without many of the short stories and lost some bits. But I agree with you reading this in the chronological order for the first time is just crazy.
Thank you!
You’re welcome ✌🏻
Thank you for this video
You are very welcome
Amazing thx Celia
You are welcome my friend
just read MOA and wanted to experience some of that cliffhanger angst so Im watching this video before starting HOH
LOL I actually love that for you, sometimes it's good to let it sit for a while
Im back……you’re right the chronological order is insane…..but i must persist
I find this incredibly inspiring
Good luck soldier 🫡
His books will have a special place in my heart 4ever
same here
Thanks
I can’t wait for his two new books
I haven't felt this envious period 7:38
hehe
My ideal order is something between publishing order and chronological.
Thank you I wanted to buy all the sets I just didn’t know the order
Perfect!
Reading chronologically you should definitely always read the "Magnus Chase" books before the 'ToA" books when they overlap.
This has made me want to read the whole series there’s so many books uehshshshehshehh😭
I’m just here for Nico tbh
DO IIIIIIIIIIIT
I'm on book 8 (Mark of Athena) and I wint stop til I'm through the universe the only one I'm skeptical of is the kane chronicles
I've only seen the movies and the new series that just came out, but I really want to read the books! I'm in my 20s but better late than never 😆
Great mindset! Hope you love them 🤗
Reading the first time now... started when the series just was one week ahead.
It was a pain to figure things out but my order seems to be right because it matches yours 😅
I will say to read this way is difficult at some places but for me its great
Good luck with the rest of the series!
Rick is born to write
genuinely reconsidering reading the books that aren’t pjo 😭 i’m scared
thanks for pdf though gonna read them in chronological order
Perfect😁🥰
thanks
24:58 “Your going to suffer, but you will be happy about it.” The first thing I thought was Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban
Season 2 was announced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going LIVE today to discuss season 2: czcams.com/users/liveBLbHFu6JmLE?si=X49dKLiPBnaMZJJY
I'd say to read the son of sobek and that short story series after or during the heroes of olympus
love the Alice Oseman books in the corner
honestly same
14:07 turned to my Greek God's book and sighed 💀
after watching all the orders and understanding how it goes...I've developed my own order
Season 2 Did Get Announced
And I’m discussing it: czcams.com/users/liveBLbHFu6JmLE?si=X49dKLiPBnaMZJJY
@@Unclaimeddemigod Thank You
hoo is also mostly about roman demigods&gods
If I ever reread all the books, it'll be after i get some of the short stories. I personally prefer the order pjo, kane, hoo, pjo trilogy(when complete), magnus, toa with the short stories after the series they follow so demigod diaries after pjo and demigods and magicians after kane. So, it's kind of chronological order
I felt that “DONT LOOK AT THE COVER TO CLOSLEY” in my soul.
Hahahahaha it’s a dangerous cover to have
Wait I don’t understand 😭 is it a joke or like srsly?
@@eviedeleviebevie the cover depicts the characters in a sistuation that kinda spoils it so whenever you have new fans around you cover it up. Y family just started reading PJO so I’ve been covering my covers up a lot
@@user-tz3co6rz7o ohh! Thank you so much!
I'm thinking of getting the Comic Books for my Nephews to get into first before they read the books and after they watch the show first since they are only four and can't read and me reading comics is easier lol.
The graphic novels are great for younger readers!
I was a freshman in Highschool back in 2009 and fell in love with these books. Now at 28 years old I have reread through the Percy Jackson books and have fallen in love all over again. 🥲
You love to see it
I’m in the middle of trails of Apollo and yesterday I was at target because I was looking for the sun and the star so I would have it ready but I couldn’t find it BUT I found the chalice of the Gods and I didn’t know it existed and I didn’t realize it was a 6th book in Percy Jackson and the Olympian’s till I was in the car and looked at the table of contents and saw the amazing chapter names and I almost cried. But now I don’t know if I should finish trails of Apollo then read it or finish the burning maze take a break from trails of Apollo and read chalice of the gods
An highly underrated approach that I personally took was reading them out of order. I wanted to read the books because I heard Nico was gay. I started by watching enough videos that I basically became an expert on the first series without ever having read it. I was intimidated by the possibility of reading 8 books in order to get the content I wanted, so I read the graphic novels of books 1, 4, and 5 and actually read book 3 so I could get a sense of who this Edge Boy was.
I then read the first four books of Heroes of Olympus, took a long break, then read the Lightning Thief and Last Olympian. Then I read Blood of Olympus (after attempting to start and failing to finish it 3 times), read Trials of Apollo book 1, read the Sea of Monsters, then read read Trials of Apollo books 2-5, with a break halfway between Tower of Nero to read Battle of the Labyrinth. I’m currently on The Sun and the Star, with it taking me 4 years to make it thus far.
I honestly regret nothing. Sure there’s lots of stuff I didn’t pick up in Heroes of Olympus, particularly with Percy, Annabeth and Nico, but I can go back to that on a reread. Sure, the timeline of the series might be a little janky because of how I went about it and certain nostalgia bits in later books don’t hit the same way, but who cares?
My point is this: To any new person who wants to get into the series, do what’s right for you. If you’re interested because of Nico or Piper or something in Heroes of Olympus, read that first. I am of the belief that so long as you get the general background information, you can read Heroes of Olympus and then the Trials of Apollo or then go back to the first five books. I don’t diminish the originals’ power, but I think a lot of fans who grew up with the books don’t really have a grasp on what’s necessary to read and what can be skipped. I believe this is the case because SO MANY videos I find on this topic take the “Well you can do it by the timeline… and that’s it” rather than taking a “What do you want out of your reading experience?” approach.
To any soul who took the time to read this, thank you for hearing me out :]
If you don't care about spoilers you can truly read it any way you want :)
Celia gotta do a video abt Heartstopper 5 I see it on ur shelf
I bought the copy when I was in New Zealand 😊
Ima be a collector
Rick Riordan does not rest😂
I can’t believe he has a family and writes 30 books at the same time
I can’t believe he has a family and writes 30 books at the same time
Bruh just started to do a readathon kind of based on your old video.
Perfect timing then!
I took notes and I would read chronological
4:24 Not to be a know it all but I had to bc I love Nico and Reyna. Hero's of Olympus has actually 9 POVs, in "Blood of Olympus" we get the POV of Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano daughter of Bellona and Nico di Angelo son of Hades. This narrates a lot of Reyna's backstory and gives Nico more trauma (Bryce Lawrence). This also narrates their part of the quest which is, returning the Athena Parthenos to stop the war between Camp Half-Blood home of the Greek demigods + Jason Grace and Camp Jupiter Home of the Roman Demigods + Nico di Angelo
Also- 7:30 I
Whats your favourite out of all the 30 books? If that's to hard to narrow down you can just say your favourite one from all 3 series.
I'd say Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian (The PJO books are by far my favorite, but Mark of Athena and House of Hades also stand out)
Which is the best to go by?? the publishing order, or the chronological order??
PUBLISHING ORDER! Chronological order is a headache waiting to happen
Ive just got through the first ten books but now i miggh have to re read the series in the chronological order with the addition of the demigod files and diaries
Bufffff that was not the intended outcome of this video 😂
Ill probably regret it but I've committed now 😭
i probably didnt read the books in chronological order because all i did was read the series in the order i found out about them pjo, hoo, mc, toa, kc, tsats and cotg or at least that was the order i read them. i have read the nine worlds book and demigod files because they were at my school library but that was waay after i had reread the other books a million times.. anyways I'm curious what the chronological order is.
Any order is fine as long as you read the big three in order, but there’s little spoilers and references here and there
In my opinion, you should read like this
1- Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
2- Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters
3- Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse
4- Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth
5- The Demigod Files
6- Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian
7- Percy Jackson's Greek Gods
8- Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes
9- Camp Half- Blood Confidential
10- Demigods and Monsters
11- Camp Half blood : The Ultimate Guide
12-Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo
13- The Lost Hero
14- The Son of Neptune
15- The Demigod Diaries
16- The Mark of Athena
17- The House of Hades
18- The Blood of Olympus
19- The Hidden Oracle
20- The Dark Prophecy
21- The Burning Maze
22- The Tyrant's Tomb
23- The Tower of Nero
24- Camp Jupiter Classified
25- The Red Pyramid
26- The Throne of Fire
27- The Serpent's Shadow
28- Kane Chronicles Survival Guide
29- Demigods and Magicians
30- Brooklyn House Magician's Manual
31- The Sword of Summer

I never got to Percy Jackson and the chalice of god I started The Lost Hero as soon as I finished the Last Olympian should I read it or not?

get ready to fall down a deeeeeeeeep rabbit hole
I wish I’d read the sword of hades short story before heroes of Olympus. (*Spoilers for heroes of Olympus and Sword of Hades*). I felt like a lot of the impact from the house of hades novel was lost because I didn’t have the backstory on bob; a character who came from a collection of short stories a lot of people said not to bother reading 😕.
I- im on the 3rd pjo book i thought i was just getting into 2 5 book long series what have I done btw what was that vacuum sound at 41:34
I think I’m just gonna collect all the books, read them, and come back here
good, let me know how you like them
For me, any book or movie series should be seen/read in publishing order and reread or rewatched in chronological order.
