Reading the Riordanverse (1)

Disclaimer: I do not own these books.

Hello People. This is a pretty popular and diverse topic when it comes to the fandom, and I though I'd give you my piece on it. And my nxt post will be after a week as I'm going to camp.

Part 1 is how I read the Riordanverse. Next Post for how you should read it.

Part 1:(the bulleted words are the books in order of reading) Before I read PJO, I disliked Percy Jackson. It used to give me the image of Peter Parker, so I though it was teenager nonsense(sorry, Spiderman). But when I was 10, my mom got me the Last Olympian. 

• The Last Olympian

YEP. Having read absolutely none of the books, my mom went random and got me the last book. I had no intention of reading it, but I was hella bored and had nothing else to read, so I opened it and read the first few pages. As you know, in the first chappie, Percy and Rachel are sitting in a car at the beach before Beckendorf comes to take Percy on a mission. So I read it and was like, this is a romantic book, and so I dropped it then and there. But then I was sooooo bored I started again. This time I finished the whole thing and of course, my heart was sold. I got spoilers, but I'm the kind of person who will read books again and again but still feel thrilled or sad every single time, so I didn't mind.

Then I read the remaining in this order.

• The Battle of the Labyrinth
• The Titan's Curse
• The Lightning Thief
• The Sea of Monsters

When I had read PJO, I checked which books were next and read them(these were not in this exact order, but I read HoO the right way. Now, I completely disliked The Hidden Oracle. I am too bored to write the reasons, so check out my YouTube video 'Reading the Riordanverse' on this same topic. So I didn't want to continue reading the Trials of Apollo and read those companion books.

• The Lost Hero
• The Son of Neptune
• The Mark of Athena
• The House of Hades
• The Blood of Olympus
• The Hidden Oracle
• Camp Half-Blood Confidential
• Percy Jackson's Greek Gods
• Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes

And then a friend urged me to read the remaining ToA books, and I read them a year after I read the Hidden Oracle.

• The Dark Prophecy
• The Burning Maze
• The Tyrant's Tomb
• The Tower of Nero
• Demigods and Magicians
• The Red Pyramid

Now, I ordered The Serpent's Shadow along with The Red Pyramid(Book 3 wasn't available) but since I couldn't understand RP, I stopped and read it again after a long time.

• The Serpent's Shadow
• The Throne of Fire
• The Sword of Summer
• The Hammer of Thor
• The Ship of the Dead

And then earlier this year, I read:

• Nine from the Nine Worlds
• Brooklyn House: Magician's Manual
• The Sun and the Star
• The Chalice of the Gods

to be continued...
