Even though the first series is kind of flawed until The Titan’s Curse it still holds up really well. Heroes of Olympus was just as great as I remembered it and now I’m getting to read Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard and the Trials of Apollo for the first time, both of which are fantastic series. I’m halfway through The Tyrant’s Tomb for Trials of Apollo and I love how each book has featured different returning main characters from PJO and HOO in each book alongside the two recurring main characters, Apollo and Meg McCaffrey who might be my favorite characters of all the books. Also, Rick Riordan has started to write a second pentatology for the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series that I’m really stoked to start after I finish Trials of Apollo.

rereading all the Rick Riordan books and im at the heroes of Olympus and truly the way this man can have 7 distinct narrative voices for teenagers that dont feel dumb and tropey is so good- not even to mention all the fun of modern mythology vibes. Who let me have fun?

1) Warrior Cats
I know this probably reveals a lot of things about me but these cats are part of my soul at this point. They were the first books that really got me into reading (even though objectively they are not that good), but I just loved the cats killing each other! It helped that I related so heavily to many of the characters.
2) Percy Jackson
Read the whole series, loved it! I was (still am) hugely into mythology so it was kind of the perfect storm. Nico was my favorite and the character I related to the most, and it was nice to have representation when I was younger.

Fates & Furies - Lauren Groff, liked this a lot
The Fourth Wing series - fantasy has made it possible for me to get back to reading in the way that I used to when I was a kid. Just absolutely mainlining books. And it kinda makes me feel like a kid, too! But this series is FOR SURE not for children lol 👀
The Southern Reach trilogy - now a quartet! Next on my TBR is the new installment, Absolution. Really hoping for some answers but sheeesh this series is mysterious and gorgeous. Super weird science fiction.
Birnam Wood - I attempted to start this and didn’t like the first couple chapters. Has anyone read and can you tell me if it’s worth it?
Song of Achilles and Circe - stunning, gorgeous, obsessed, loved. I think I preferred Circe but SoA really had me sobbing lol.
The Shadow of What Was Lost - book 1 in a trilogy by James Islington. Picked it up because I loved The Will of the Many and the second isn’t out yet. I’d say not even close to as good as TWOTM but still an entertaining read. Will likely pick up the second from the library soon.
