The Percy Jackson Thread

[The Mask]

Anyone else read Magnus Chase yet? I don't see much point in making another thread so I'll put it here. It's pretty good. Same...but different...but still the same. It's far more lore-heavy than the earlier books and as someone who studied HEAPS of Norse mythology, that's a good thing. The characters are generally more well-rounded and relatable as well. I really enjoyed it! 

[Hickory]

I haven't gotten to the that series, still in Heros of Olympus right now. I've heard of it though. Sounds cool, and I'll definitely read it.

So it is out. I should take lots of money with me into town on Wednesday and see if I can find it or The Copper Gauntlet (a part of a different series).

Is that Fenrir on the cover?

[The Skarzs]

I'm only on Sea of Monsters.

[Jetthebinturong]

If you intend to read all of them you've got a long way to go.

[Cornflower MM]

Hey, Jet, you still doing the cabins? (I really need to look over them again.)

You have a lot of reading to do. Better hurry.

Hey, Jet, you still doing the cabins? (I really need to look over them again.)

I'll get back to them at some point. No one commented on the Nemesis or Hecate cabins so I just kinda stopped.

[Cornflower MM]

Sorry about that - I SWEAR I will look over them tomorrow, after dance. (I'd do it now but DA freaks out my computer and makes it do weird unresponsive things. . . Sorry.)

So apparently I'm Athena, but I did give myself easy points on that one. And after that, Hades. Both surprising and "how in the world?" results.

[The Mask]

Yeah, it's Fenrir. They keep calling him Fenris though. So annoying.

[Hickory]

@Corn: Son of Neptune. When does that series end, and what series should I read after that?

[The Mask]

Three more books after that. Mark of Athena, House of Hades and Blood of Olympus. After that, I suggest The Kane Chronicles or Magnus Chase. I suggest the Kane Chronicles mainly cos they're finished and there are some nice crossovers with Percy and Annabeth. Depends what you prefer, Norse or Egyptian mythology.

That's some thins I forgot to mention about Magnus Chase. Annabeth plays an important part, as she is Magnus' cousin. Jason is sorta there? Camp Half-Blood is briefly mentioned too.

[Hickory]

Covered on that part.

[Jetthebinturong]

I GOT THE SWORD OF SUMMER! Now I'm torn because I really want to finish the Inheritance Cycle but I've got two and a half massive books to go and Magnus Chase is probably really fast-paced. I've got The Copper Gauntlet too.

[CaptainRocktree]

Anyone read the Kane Chronicles? I've never read Percy Jackson, But I've read the Kane Chronicles. Supposedly they are pretty similar?
