Top 10 Best Rick Riordan Books Without Percy Jackson in Them

Of course, Percy Jackson is the lovable, fan-favourite character who stars in most of Riordan's successful books, but out of the ones that don't have Percy in them, which is the greatest? Why?

The Top Ten

  1. The Hammer of Thor (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard)

    This one is, for some reason, possibly my favourite Riordan book. I love Magnus Chase, and in my opinion it is the best of that trilogy, even if it isn't the start to the series or the climactic end.

    It introduces Alex Fierro, Jack the talking sword has some time to shine, we meet Hearthstone's terrible family, we get to go bowling with Utgard-Loki, there is the most miserable failure of a wedding ever, and Otis the goat goes incognito.

    I know. This is the most underrated Riordan book. Barely anyone knows it, and I for one love it. Alex Fierro, Jack, and Magnus are my three favourite Riordan characters.

  2. The Lost Hero (The Heroes of Olympus)

    What can I say about it. It started the fantastic series that in my opinion topped Percy Jackson itself. It introduced Piper, Leo, Jason, Coach Hedge, and a whole new cast of great characters, and finally gave us a pretty classic quest, which we hadn't gotten since the first ever Percy Jackson book.

    This one is the best book including ones with Percy in them. It started off the greatest book series of all time.

  3. The Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard)

    Although this book is nothing compared to the other two, it was pretty darn good. It introduced us to the Norse side of mythology, Magnus Chase, and Valhalla. I love Valhalla. That's where I'm going when I die. Maybe dying from being too excited over Britgirl's new list will count as a heroic death. I dunno.

    I also really like Magnus Chase too. The characters are very good.

  4. The Red Pyramid (The Kane Chronicles)

    I personally don't love this series compared to the others, but this book still deserves a high spot on this list for reasons that are pretty obvious.

  5. The Tyrant's Tomb (The Trials of Apollo)

    Two words. Captain Underpants. Kind of. But Apollo finally stops being a jerk, we get back to Camp Jupiter and with it Reyna, Hazel, and Frank, and it continues to grow the ever-growing LGBTQ cast in the Rick Riordan books.

  6. The Burning Maze (The Trials of Apollo)

    Many people hate it because a very main character dies (not gonna say who though), but I love all the yacht stuff. I just like yachts. Maybe because they sound a bit like sloths. And you can be a sloth on them.

  7. The Throne of Fire (The Kane Chronicles)

    I love Walt in this one. The story was overall good. Book 1 wasn't as appealing and Book 3 just felt unsatisfying, you know.

    The second book in the Egyptian-based series. Decent, definitely good for a book in general, but meh for a Riordan book.

    I really liked the twelve houses thingy.

  8. The Dark Prophecy (The Trials of Apollo)

    Similar to The Throne of Fire, this was meh for a Riordan book and good for a book in general. I loved the zoo chapters.

  9. The Serpent's Shadow (The Kane Chronicles)
