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.
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.
I would recommend reading the sword of hades anytime before the house of hades, because it gives a lot of context which you can’t get from the book itself
Lmao that’s how im ready PJO, my school library has the HoO though so I’m gonna borrow them. Trying to save for a car so can’t really spend all my cash on books…
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
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!!
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!
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'.
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 ;)
Thanks so much. I just bought the Percy Jackson and the olympians books. I’m only half way through the third book. But now I’m hooked. This helps a lot
@@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
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
00:03 I feel called out 😂 Also, i feel like the right way is published order so it's the same order as when it first came out and you would have to wait for the next one to come out, just makes the most sense to me 🤷♀️
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 😂❤❤
Prisoner of azkaban was her best writing. It's the only one that really broke my heart. But percy jackson....15 books of misery and I am here for all of it.
Dude I completely forgot about this comment! Here I am 5 months later and about to finish the house of hades ( I hadn’t read it when I commented my last comment 😅) But why am I happy every time I find one of my old comments on a video😅
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 love Pjo. I found it during covid and now I am ADDICTED! thank you so much for this! I wanted to get into the series after a bit (I only read up to the titan's curse because I am broke) Thank you again so much for this!
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!
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. 🥲
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
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
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
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. 😅
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 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.
I just got super interested in reading after finishing 3 light novels and like a billion fanfiction so I'm excited to finally read my first real "Books" and I love the movie so I can't wait to read EVERYTHING 😍
@@Unclaimeddemigod Thank you so much once again 😭 So I got my first book at a local bookstore and I tried getting the international version (Printed in English) and surprise, surprise it wasn't even the first book of the first series, I got Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods because there were only 3 books, the Battle of the Labyrinth, and one other The Trials of Apollo book... And I just finished the book today! I really liked the Athena and Dionysus chapters they were funny imo and I already ordered the books online so I'm just going to wait until they arrive ❤️
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!!!
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
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
Me reading the only first 5 books and first two books of the heroes of Olympus and Kane when I was younger and about a decade later… here I am reordering my book shelf and restarting the books and looking to buy the other books lol
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 :]
At first i was like so confused tbh ( bcus ofc everyone says a diff order ) but im gonna trust u cus ur my fav pjo youtuber, btw im gonna go with the dummy order ( i want to go with chronological but im broke and can't afford it like that 😭😭😭) and tysm for telling the entire order!!!
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. ❤
10:23 My local library gives away free books and I found 2 magnus chase books. I get home only to find out I CAN"T READ THEM because it just so happens NEITHER OF THEM WERE THE FIRST BOOK!
I went into this video thinking I was going to read it in chronological order, now my eyes hurt, my ears hurt, by brain hurts, and I'm reading the dummy version.
I just reread the original 5 which I have at home, but couldn't move on to another series I want to read so now I'm reading the other books for the first time. I picked up the first two Heroes of Olympus from the library. In the first (lost hero) Annabeth says Percy had told her about the river Lethe and how it didn't affect him - what book did I miss? And should I pick up? Also - can we get the order written down?😂
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
i have to choose read the percy jackson book series . but it is more complicated to read and i watched the " HOW TO READ RICK RIORDAN'S PERCY JACKSON BOOKS IN ORDER || Updated 2024 " from your youtube . its confusing for me ....... please make a video for me how to read percy jackson book series acoordingly chrolonigical order ......... please ...please
questions: what book does percabeth start dating? is it in the PJO series or a different series? and also if i read the first 5 books in PJO and then the chalice of the gods ONLY and not the other series will there be spoilers if i don’t read the next series? cause those 6 are the only ones i bought i’ll have to get the rest😅. idk if what i said before even makes sense im not even sure if it does or not
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.

it's a very intimidating series to get into
Mee to
Samee
Wasn't gonna read The Kane Chronicles and Greek gods and Magicians until she said PERCABETH
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!
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.
I would recommend reading the sword of hades anytime before the house of hades, because it gives a lot of context which you can’t get from the book itself
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 UA-cam.

Well u should order book that is not good to read on mobile for your eyes

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
Im back……you’re right the chronological order is insane…..but i must persist
I find this incredibly inspiring
Good luck soldier 🫡
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 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 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.
the pdfs slay fr
this means so much to me
Season 2 was announced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going LIVE today to discuss season 2: ua-cam.com/users/liveBLbHFu6JmLE?si=X49dKLiPBnaMZJJY
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 just got super interested in reading after finishing 3 light novels and like a billion fanfiction so I'm excited to finally read my first real "Books" and I love the movie so I can't wait to read EVERYTHING 😍
Thank you so much for this, it saved me a lot of time and confusion 😭❤️
I CANNOT CONTAIN THE EXCITEMENT!!!!
haha I'm so glad!
@@Unclaimeddemigod Thank you so much once again 😭
So I got my first book at a local bookstore and I tried getting the international version (Printed in English) and surprise, surprise it wasn't even the first book of the first series, I got Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods because there were only 3 books, the Battle of the Labyrinth, and one other The Trials of Apollo book... And I just finished the book today! I really liked the Athena and Dionysus chapters they were funny imo and I already ordered the books online so I'm just going to wait until they arrive ❤️
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!
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!
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
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
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 🤗
I haven't felt this envious period 7:38
hehe
Me reading the only first 5 books and first two books of the heroes of Olympus and Kane when I was younger and about a decade later… here I am reordering my book shelf and restarting the books and looking to buy the other books lol
7:24 😭 GO SIT IN A CORNER AND THINK OF WHAT YOU DID(I was talking to the book/Rick)
Thanks ive been waiting formthis
Thanks for waiting 😌
Rick is born to write
OMG I NEEDED THIS ❤
Glad to be of service :)
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 :)
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

Honestly the dummy order is the most fun one so go for it!
*unboxing*
“Look it’s like waves and a ship but it’s actually the tail of a fish-“
Me: I THOUGHT IT WAS A F*CKING FLOWER!
Thank you!!!!! Now I FINNALY know how to read it 😂❤
The Demigod University by Galen Starfall is a good read release couple of days ago.
Me, who has read the series multiple times: i better watch this vid to make sure i haven’t been reading it the wrong way for years LMAO
hahahaha just in case
@@Unclaimeddemigod exactly lol
This helped so much thank you
I'm so glad!
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. ❤
Season 2 Did Get Announced

@@Unclaimeddemigod Thank You
I just finished reading the 5th book and was wondering if there are more...shocker.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! THIS HELPED A LOT!!
I AM SO FREAKING GLAD
Lol! Thanks for responding! I watched so many videos by you. You ARE AWESOME! Keep up the good work!!
10:23 My local library gives away free books and I found 2 magnus chase books. I get home only to find out I CAN"T READ THEM because it just so happens NEITHER OF THEM WERE THE FIRST BOOK!
hahahahaha that always happens!
love the Alice Oseman books in the corner
honestly same
GIRL THANK YOU SO MUCH
YOU ARE SO VERY WELCOME
IT’S SEPTEMBERRRR ❤
I went into this video thinking I was going to read it in chronological order, now my eyes hurt, my ears hurt, by brain hurts, and I'm reading the dummy version.
“hmmmm sounds like she’s rapping the video up let me check…30 MORE MINUTES!??!!?”
What movies😉😉
exactly
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)
I just reread the original 5 which I have at home, but couldn't move on to another series I want to read so now I'm reading the other books for the first time. I picked up the first two Heroes of Olympus from the library. In the first (lost hero) Annabeth says Percy had told her about the river Lethe and how it didn't affect him - what book did I miss? And should I pick up?
Also - can we get the order written down?😂
THANK U SM FOR THISSS
YOU ARE SO WELCOME
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
i have to choose read the percy jackson book series . but it is more complicated to read and i watched the " HOW TO READ RICK RIORDAN'S PERCY JACKSON BOOKS IN ORDER || Updated 2024 " from your youtube . its confusing for me .......
please make a video for me how to read percy jackson book series acoordingly chrolonigical order ......... please ...please
Unclaimed demigod: To create hype around Percy Jackson again-
Me: nah, Uncle Rick just wants more people to fall in the death trap again
fair
questions: what book does percabeth start dating? is it in the PJO series or a different series? and also if i read the first 5 books in PJO and then the chalice of the gods ONLY and not the other series will there be spoilers if i don’t read the next series? cause those 6 are the only ones i bought i’ll have to get the rest😅. idk if what i said before even makes sense im not even sure if it does or not
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!
Me waiting for this
Thank you
You are so very welcome!
".....And again, you don't HAVE to read this" gurl i'm reading them all u cannot stop me
Rick needs to make a guide fr ❤
