The Hidden Oracle is the first book in the Trials of Apollo series and is written by Rick Riordan. In this series debut, the god Apollo finds himself in the mortal body of a teenage boy, which is a drastic change from his usual divine and godly self, due to him angering Zeus. Now, Apollo must try to survive the mortal world without his powers until his father finally finds a reason to see Apollo as redeemed.
The Ship of the Dead is the third and final book in the Magnus Chase series and is written by Rick Riordan. In this book, Magnus Chase is in the Viking afterlife Valhalla, where he prepares for the world ending Norse event of Ragnarok. I loved the first two books in this series, so I had a lot of expectations placed on the finale, and I have to say that the book surpassed my expectations. Just like the first two books, this book masterfully manages the humorous tone with the tense feelings of saving the world.
The Hammer of Thor is the second book in the Magnus Chase series and is written by Rick Riordan. In the previous book, Magnus and his friends learn that Thor has misplaced his famous hammer, but it’s not given much thought because it’s a common habit of his. However, it becomes a big issue when it’s learned that Thor’s hammer has fallen into enemy hands. In this book, Magnus and his friends must find the hammer quickly or else the mortal worlds will be destroyed by an army of giants.

The seven demigods must be careful and plan out their actions, or else the world will be destroyed.
The House of Hades is the fourth book in the Heroes of Olympus series and is written by Rick Riordan.

In this installment of the franchise, The Prophecy of Seven begins as the seven demigods come together on their expedition to the birthplace of the gods. First, they go to Rome to resolve a mysterious quest regarding the Mark of Athena. The first two books in this series established and advanced the plot in these books, but readers could tell that they were mainly trying to develop their respective characters.
The Son of Neptune is the second book in the Heroes of Olympus series and is written by Rick Riordan. In this book, Percy Jackson is back (though hit with a severe case of amnesia) and meets a camp of Roman demigods. From here, he goes on a quest with Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang to Alaska to free Thanatos, the Greek god of death. Obviously, the biggest thing here is the return of Percy Jackson, which will excite many fans, and it’s interesting to see him in a new and unfamiliar environment.

This book follows three demigod friends (Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Leo Valdez) and how their stories intertwine with each other.

Together, they must succeed on a quest given to them by Hera.

This book is the culmination of all the sagas of the last four books and everything has led to this moment with Percy and Kronos.
