for Rick Riordan
|
 |
• Every project is aligned to the middle, and highlighted with its own color (colors are: riordanverse, RR presents, 39 clues, Tres Navarre, cold springs and daughter of the Deep). If you are familiar with it, and came here for one in particular, slide down fast until you see it. I made this focusing on people who is new to it and don't even know where to start.
• If you'd like to download the books, I'll leave the links to my Uncle Rick libraries here: Mega.nz and GDrive, and also in the buttons that are under the title and at the end of the page.
◦ ALL of the books that I'll mention here are included on it, my first lenguage is spanish so I share those mostly on the hispanic side of the fandom, but no worries, they're also in english, and in both pdf and epub (well, as long as they've already been published).
◦ I highly recommend to download from a computer. I've made the folder as light as possible, but it's still quite heavy for a cellphone; also, it's way more difficult to manage that many downloads in a phone (comparing to a computer).
◦ I also suggest you to save the link; I update the folder constantly, adding books as soon as I get them (I try hard to upload them the very day they're published, or the next day. It depends on how fast I can get them).
• I'm putting publication date/year next to every book title, so you can get an idea of the order they were published.
◦ (Talking about riordanverse:) many people recommend reading in that order (publication, I mean); thing is, personally, I get hella confused when going back and forth between different series (that's why I haven't been able to read Shadowhunters xD).
◦ If you are able to go from one series to another without losing track of them, go ahead. Publishing order is, actually, optimum reading order. The order I use/establish here is what best has worked for me, from my own personal experience.
◦ It might be that someone doesn't agree with my opinion, but, again, I've made this based on my own experience, based on what I think is best to organize all of it with the less possible of mixing up.
Having said that, here we go:
Riordanverse
• The Riordanverse consists on three main 'projects': Chronicles of Camp Half-Blood (greek-roman mithology), The Kane Chronicles (Egyptian mithology) and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard (norse mithology). All of these go around the same concept: The ancient gods are real, and being immortal, they were never really gone or faded. So up to this day, they've been perpetuating many of their usual habits: mainly the one about involving with mortals, if you know what I mean.
• Chronicles of Camp Halfblood consists of three main 'arcs' of 5 books each (without counting additional and complementaries), and both The Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase are trilogies. There's no mandatory order to alternate (well. kind of) so I ordered them mainly chronologically.
You can alternate safely without any spoiler; only thing that is almost forbidden is to not read Chronicles of Camp Half-blood in order (well, no one will stop you, but there are a lot of things that you either wouldn't understand or you'd get spoiled).
• I highly recommend you reading Magnus Chase once you're done with Heroes of Olympus, since there are books happening simultaneously between Magnus Chase and Trials of Apollo, and there are references to events in one to another; so, in my opinion, Magnus Chase should be read immediately before (or after) Trials of Apolo: not before Heroes of Olympus, and definitely not before Percy Jackson and the Olympians. And the same thing goes for HOO and The Kane Chronicles.
Well, I think that was enough xD. Now let's go to what you've been waiting for... *drumroll*
Riordanverse's reading order:
The Illiad and The Odyssey
• These books weren't written by Riordan, like, at all (they're classics, you've probably heard of them. Written on VIII b.C. by Homer), but according to Riordan himself, they do occur in this universe of his.
• I put them first ‘cause I think they give very good… foundations(? background(? (whatever) to understand the whole mythological mess that is coming up, but it’s optional to read them.

The Chalice of the Gods (Percy Jackson and the Olympians - part II ??? ):
I hope this isn't as confusing to u as it is to me.
So, to "celebrate" the release of the PJO show on Disney+, Mr. Riordan started Chalice of the Gods, and brought it back to PJO's Percy's first-person POV, so that's why it belongs to PJO. But, chronologically, these books will go along to Trials of Apollo, so that's why I'm putting them here (after ToA).
• 01 - The Chalice of the Gods (Sep 02, 2023)
• 02 and 03 - Sequel(s) ??? It's still unsure if there will be a sequel, but Rick said that, if there was, he wouldn't make this his usual 5-book-long series, but a trillogy at most.
Rick Riordan Presents
• These books weren’t written by Uncle Rick, but they were published by his book imprint (well, it’s not exactly his, but it has Rick’s name on it, right? ugh, you know what I mean) with the purpose of covering more of the world’s mythologies (You see, a single author can’t handle to cover up all of the world’s existing pantheons).
• Given that they don’t belong to the Riordanverse, and since these were written by many different authors, they can be read in any order (of course, respecting their own series’ order). I’m just gonna enlist them according to their announcement/publishing date.

Stand-alones
Cold Springs
• Is a stand-alone* novel of adult fiction, published in 2004.
➺ On Rick Riordan's official website, this book is stablished to belong to the Tres Navarre series, but that's a little structure mistake of the website. It is definitely a stand-alone.
• Synopsis:
◦ Chadwick’s life was balanced on the edge of a knife — his career, his marriage, his relationship with his dangerously troubled daughter. And then one autumn night, the worst possible thing happened… Nearly a decade later, Chadwick’s heart is on the mend. Working for an old military buddy, he now saves kids for a living — escorting troubled teens to a Texas wilderness school that specializes in the toughest brand of love.
◦Until he gets a call that threatens to shatter his new life...
Daughter of the Deep
≈ Is a Stand-alone novel, written by Rick Riordan. It was published on October 5th, 2021.
≈ Rick pays homage to Jules Verne in his exciting modern take on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island.
≈ It's the first Riordan novel to not focus on Mythology since his beggining on the Percy Jackson series, back in 2005.
≈ Synopsis:
~ Ana Dakkar is a freshman at Harding-Pencroft Academy, a five-year high school that graduates the best marine scientists, naval warriors, navigators, and underwater explorers in the world. Ana's parents died while on a scientific expedition two years ago, and the only family's she's got left is her older brother, Dev, also a student at HP. Ana's freshman year culminates with the class's weekend trial at sea, the details of which have been kept secret. She only hopes she has what it'll take to succeed. All her worries are blown out of the water when, on the bus ride to the ship, Ana and her schoolmates witness a terrible tragedy that will change the trajectory of their lives.
~ But wait, there's more. The professor accompanying them informs Ana that their rival school, Land Institute, and Harding-Pencroft have been fighting a cold war for a hundred and fifty years. Now that cold war has been turned up to a full broil, and the freshman are in danger of becoming fish food. In a race against deadly enemies, Ana will make amazing friends and astounding discoveries about her heritage as she puts her leadership skills to the test for the first time.
