Top Ten 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)

Unpopular opinion, but this book was awful. I felt no connection to the new characters aside from almost Leo, and the plot bored me. The only good thing it does is setting up the much better Son of Neptune

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.

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

I also very likes Magnes Chaze too. Very good characters they are good.

4 The Red Pyramid (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 (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 (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 (Kane Chronicles)

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

8 The Dark Prophecy (Trials of Apollo)

Similar to the throne of fire, this was meh for a Riordan book, good for a book in general. Loved the zoo chapters.

9 The Serpent’s Shadow (Kane Chronicles)
