Rick Riordan
You have to have heard of him. This author’s books are everywhere, entrancing readers at every turn. From Percy Jackson and the Olympians to the Kane Chronicles, each and every series is full of adventure and excitement.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is about and teenage boy who is the son of a greek god. His battles lead him through ancient mythology, full of monsters, gods, mortals, and immortals. Once you start these books, you can’t stop.
The Heroes of Olympus is an unfinished sequel series about Percy Jackson and the other children of the greek gods, coming together with the children of the roman gods. With a fresh new cast of characters, along with some of the old ones, these books have suprises and adventures at every turn.
The Kane Chronicles combines egyptian history and mythology to create an exciting, tasteful story. From magicians to gods, Riordan enthrals his fans once again.
Riordan fashions his characters in a way that the reader can relate to them. They are longer books, but the text is fairly easy to read. I find these books to be some of my favorites, though they do tend to follow the same plot line. Overall I would give Rick Riordan’s books a 4 star rating.
