“Whatever else you take from this post, we should be able to agree that bullying and harassing a child online is inexcusably wrong.
In a post to his blog, Riordan notes, “The response to the casting of Leah has been overwhelmingly positive and joyous.” But to those who refuse to express such approval, “take it up with me,” he says. The Mary Sue has a strict comment policy that forbids, but is not limited to, personal insults toward anyone, hate speech, and trolling.Additionally, Aryan Simhadri (Disney’s Spin) has been cast as Grover Underwood, the half boy/half goat who will always throw himself into a fight to protect his friends.Īnnabeth is “canonically white” in the Percy Jackson novels, so in response to Jeffries’ casting, some have spewed racist screeds - occasionally directed at the actress herself. These books are fun companions to the Percy Jackson series, but are not set in the universe, and therefore, would not be counted in the chronological reading order. However, it’s grown to include Carlos Hernandez (Cuban sci-fi), Rebecca Roanhorse (Navajo), Sarwar Chadda (Mesopotamian), Grace Kim (Korean), Tehlor Kay Mejia (Latin American), and Kwame MBalia (a fuse of African American legends and African mythology). The imprint started in 2018 with Roshani Chokshi writing Hindu folklore, Jennifer Cervantes writing Mexican folklore, and Yoon Ha Lee writing Korean legend (in space!). But the books are all great, highly accessible reads with lots of fun fantasy and mythology elements. These authors all have their own unique voices, senses of humor, plots, characters, etc. That’s not to say the imprint’s titles are exactly like my stuff. If you like Percy Jackson, if you like Magnus Chase and all my other stuff, then I believe you will probably like these books too.

While Disney (the primary publisher) pays Riordan to write the introductions and promote the titles, and Riordan serves as a co-mentor/editor to the authors of these books-these are writers from other backgrounds highlighting other myths/cultures. This is where the Rick Riordan Presents imprint (under Disney) comes in. So, one question that’s often asked is whether he plans to write about myths and legends outside of Norse and Greek traditions.

However, if you want to read them as individual books, rather than series, and in chronological order (unconfirmed by the author and without including the 10+ companion novels), read them like this. In some cases, this is because the main characters of one book series are related to (or a side character) in another series (especially Percy Jackson and The Olympians.) Chronological Book Order Some of the main characters like Annabeth and Percy appear in other books. The important part is that the first three-book series ( Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, and Kane Chronicles) are read in order.
