Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? @ChrisI agree that authors shouldn't shove their beliefs down the reader's throat unless the motivation of the character to say things like that is well laid out before it happens, or unless the book is in a genre where that would be expected.However, global warming is sadly a fact, even if predictive models are far from perfect, and the huge majority of scientists all over the world, regardless of political or religious leanings agree that it's going to be a serious problem within the next century, even if they don't agree on many of the specifics.The earth's environment is a delicate thing, no matter how you believe it was created, and eventually certain events will throw off that balance. I don't know why that is such an unbelievable concept, given that volcanos and asteroids have done it before in recent centuries... Do you have so little faith in the power of Humanity to effect our reality? If so, and if you believe in God, isn't that kind of an insult to God's power as we were made in God's image? After all, maybe this is part of why the second coming is going to happen, because of the short sighted greed and complacency which lead to us destroying the very world that God gave to us to enjoy.And if you don't believe in global warming specifically, it's still impossible for anyone capable of observation to honestly ignore the damage that pollution does to the environment around us, nor the many first hand stories of those who lived in times before the clean air act or those who currently live in countries without any decent regulations.Even if you're family or community relies on industries that contribute heavily to it, you can still admit that it's a problem that needs to be improved. Doing otherwise would simply be sticking your head in the sand and being too afraid to admit the truth because it's easier to live with it that way.So yeah, pollution is everyone's problem and has been since the start of the industrial age, given that it's directly and indirectly lead to the deaths of millions. Even an ammature scientist with basic tools can measure it's effects over time. Therefore it's extremely relevant to the social dialogue, which means that unless the author is writing a character who's a complete robot that also doesn't care about current music, fashion, food, or moral views, it's probably going to come up at some point.

Nicks managed to combine both the "and it was all a dream and the main character just goes back to their boring everyday life", with the "and the main character literally becomes god!" endings together, then again when your talking about the power to remake universes I suppose that is possible. In general though, the final book I found a slight disappointment after the buildup, albeit I enjoyed the series, though as I read them in 18 when I was rather unwell, I probably need to read them again.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? @camlorn, right, I am aware, hence my comment concerning the presence of romantic aspects of the book. The problem with City of Bones was that the deliberation happened with all the characters. It wasn't done once, which I thought was interesting, but over, and over, and over... The books contain very little substance beyond those scenes, hence my statement concerning false advertising.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? @Chris, can't believe I forgot about philip Pulman if your talking very good Ya stuff. have you also checked out garth nicks keys to the kingdom series? Actually if your looking for Hp similar books those might also be a good plan, about a boy with asthma who has to enter other worlds to battle their guardians, taking into account most of reality along the way. Unlike pulman, the enforced atheism is both a bit too blatant, and yet not quite as in your face, as in he freely tells you there is no god, no afterlife and the semi immortals who run the universe do it more because they're beureaucratic cogs in a machine and don't really care about anything outside it, than because God and religion are actually malicious, albeit I'd love to point out to pullman that his definition of "dust", is pretty close to what a lot of people would regard as divine anyway, even if he has actual Yahweh as a bit of a git . Iron druid is still one I need to get to, albeit I'll probably finish Rachel aaron's nice dragons series before I do more urban fantasy. @Camlorn, I wouldn't have counted Gaiman as similar Rowling or Riorden, which is why I didn't mention him. That being said, I loved Neverwhere whe I was 15 myself, so, mmm, maybe:D. Stardust is a down right gorgious book, albeit a bit overly short and summary form in some of it's later sections. Then again, if you want great romance, Dianna wynn jones does that exceptionally well, mostly because she just lets it develop naturally out of her characters and crazy situations, and doesn't stop the hole plot dead because of it.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? American Gods was horrible! I wish I hadn't wasted the time on that book. Maybe it wasn't my cup of tea. I thought it would get better as it progressed, but it really didn't.Gaiman is really interesting otherwise. Check out Coraline. It's very very creepy. It's about a girl who wanders into another world and is trapped by a demon pretending to be her mother. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is pretty good as well, though I'm a little confused by the ending. I haven't tried Stardust as of yet. I also read The Graveyard book about 10 years ago. It wasn't too bad, but Coraline and Ocean were better.You might like Kelley Armstrong. I started with her Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising books which are about a group of kids with supernatural powers who are initially placed in a group home and diagnosed with various disorders. They eventually find out they aren't crazy and have extremely boosted powers. They go on the run and are hunted by a cabal. After that, I checked out her Women of the Otherworld series which was pretty good as well. It's aimed more at adults but gives a much deeper look at her supernatural world. Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising tie into this larger story.Here's one more, but it's definitely aimed at adults. It's the Cassandra Palmer series by Karen Chance. It's about a young woman who was raised by vampires. She's a clairvoyant and the vampire that raised her used her abilities to make a lot of money. She's also a necromancer and can talk to ghosts. She also gains the ability to time travel. It's essentially about her adventures with ghosts, vampires, mages, demons, and gods. There are lots of sex scenes in these, hence why these might not be for everyone. I started reading these at the age of 12, so I don't know what that says about me. I'd like to think it makes me a more mature person, because I handled it just fine. The series starts to drag around book 6, but I still like it.Okay, one more, and I'm serious this time. If you haven't checked out His Dark Materials, it's worth it in my view. I loved it as a little kid, primarily because of all the worlds. People hate it because it was written by an atheist and is about killing a tyrannical god, but I liked the fantasy elements. Philip Pullman also came out with The Book of Dust series, but based off what I've heard, it probably wouldn't interest me. I don't think it contains the same kind of fantasy elements.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? @35For what it's worth there is such a thing as well-done romance-motivated plots. See Stardust by Neil Gaiman, which is a very good book irregardless of anything else. The main plot is motivated by our main character going off to bring back a falling star for his love, though sadly saying anything more about it is major spoilers other than to say it does not at all go how one would expect. It's a twisted hero's journey, kind of.Also now I have no idea how Gaiman hasn't been mentioned yet, save perhaps that he's not really very much like Riordan at all, and generally aimed at a more experienced reader. Ocean at the end of the lane is very good and Good Omens is a pretty well done religious satire, though I will put forward that the well-read urban fantasy reader will find American Gods to be merely average. That said, in some ways American Gods is adult, gritty, way less optimistic Percy Jackson, so there might be something there.

Virtue signaling at its finest. If you can ignore that, it's a great series. Sadly, virtue signaling and political correctness are all too common in all forms of modern entertainment.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? The Mortal Instruments are only good throughout the first book. The rest are spent on agonizing over whom to love. I suffered through all of them (I don't quit series regardless of their status), and if you know what is good for you, you will stay away from this one. Don't get me wrong, the plot was interesting, but when you have an entire book going "Oh, I love x, but also y, but x is better because of Z, but Y attracts me because of, uh, what's after Z, ZA? I'll give it a hard pass.I am not against romance -- quite the opposite. I believe a good book is incomplete without one, but it shouldn't be the main focus of the story unless explicitly aimed to be that way. City of Bones and all the subsequent titles are false advertisements in that regard.As to what to read, hmm, I personally recommend the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. A bit more serious than Percy Jackson and HP, but worth a read do to their comedic nature and an awesome narrator to boot. Also, this is the only set of books I've found dealing with Celtic mythology in a similar fashion to Riordan. The books are also super short (around 8 hours each), making them an easy read. I would also recommend the Lorien Legacies by Pittacus Lore, though this one gets bad from book 8 onwards -- basically where they attempted to split off into a new series. The concept is centered around what are essentially superpowers and their use to save the Earth. Yes, classic, but the execution is decent, the characters are relatable to the intended audience, and despite the typical plot the story takes an interesting turn. The books are still short and have intermediate level of vocabulary and still manage to maintain a semblance of the themes Rick Riordan / JK emphasize.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? Personally, I read the original 5 percey jackson books. I enjoyed them as far as they went in terms of modernising Griek myths (I loved crusties bed emporium), but after book 1, character development seemed to basically default to "hero is awesome at everything!", with all confrontations ending with the cavalry turning up and saving the day, little by way of actual seriousness, and a bit too much blatant borrowing from Harry Potter in terms of plot structure and in some cases characters (annabeth is blatantly Hermione). It was fun , but didn't really have the payoff and development promised in the first book, plus it had way to much of the deus ex and not enough character to hang that on, which is why I didn't go on to any of Riorden's other series.I'm actually reading rhythm of war at the moment, am about halfway through. It's good, but not imho up to the quality of the first three, particularly in terms of tension and payoff, and in terms of Sanderson getting a little too wrapped up in world and not enough characters. Use of a few too many modernisms in the narration such as describing someone as a "teen" also are a thing I'm less fond of, though it's still a pretty good book, just not imho up to the exceptional quality of stormlight 1-3. Actually in general, I enjoy Sanderson, but don't regard him as the greatest writer who ever lived the way some people do, even in the fantasy genre, give me Hobb, williams or Rothfus over Sanderson, for all I still do enjoy Sanderson's books and have read most everything he's written.I wouldn't put someone off reading Sanderson's stuff because of age inappropriate content, heck, I read so outside my own age group as a child and teenager it wasn't funny, more simply because if your looking for something faster paced and comparatively easy to read like Rowling or Riorden, some of Sanderson's longer series might take a bit too much getting into.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? Yes, the chronology of the main line of books is Percy Jackson, Heros of Olympus, Trials of Apollo. Magnus Chase technically takes place in parallel with Trials of Apollo I believe, and Kane Chronicles fits in there somewhere, probably after the main Percy Jackson series in terms of timeline but it doesn't matter.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? All of Rick Riordan's young adult series' are connected in some way, but apart from the main Percy Jackson line, the connections are usually small. Basically the universe they are set in has different pantheons of gods taking dominion over different parts of America or the world. So Magnus Chase has some connection to percy Jackson (think about the last name) but it's not needed to read one series to read the other. But it might make you more interested to read Magnus Chase.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? The Percy Jackson books are connected to 2 other series The Heroes of Olympus, and The Trials of Apollo so you're not done yet. There's also Magnus Chase and as someone else mentioned the Kane Chronicles. I also suggest The Inkheart trilogy by Cornelia Funke, The Bartimaeus Sequence by Jonathan Stroud, and Septimus Heap by Angie Sage. Also Ready Player 1 and Ready Player 2 by Ernest Cline. If you want something darker check out The Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown it's not complete yet but there are 5 books so far. Also Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? @20yeah. I think she tried to demonstrate growing up and tried to shift the books to a higher target age or something and then just totally failed hard. She should have stuck to what she was good at, rather than turning wizardry into a job with cool perks and dragging out the series. If you're debating continuing it, I wouldn't. Stop at Wizards at War, in my opinion. That would have made a very good end to the series and ties up most of the plot lines as well.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? You might like Skulduggery Pleasant. I personally think it blows Harry Potter and Percy Jackson out of the water!

I recommend checking out the first 3 books just to see how you like it. It combines humor, mystery, and fantasy very nicely, and the books get better as you progress. The first 9 books are awesome! The newer books are okay as long as you ignore the political correctness bullshit Derek Landy shoehorns.The Young Wizards series by Diane Duane isn't bad either. I've gone through the first 9 books and am trying to decide if I want to read 10.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? Well, reading books beyond one's age can be benefitial. I remember reading the garden of paradise by anderson at 7, though it most definately isn't an adult faerie tale, it was at least age 11-12 reading. It is true though Stormlight is totally different from mistborn. It is rather higher level reading than his other books I think.But if you are looking for young adult fiction, Brandon Mull is a good pick. His series are good.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? I would suggest Alcatraz and the evil librarians.

It's a young adult book probably aimed at mature 14-year-olds approximately, but I read it at 23 and still enjoyed it.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? I dont know how old op is, but I think stormlight would be appropriate if he was like above 13-14. There isn't inappropriate content like too many sex scenes or such. The series does start slow due to worldbuilding, but it gets very epic beyond a certain point. Especially in the latar half of book1, and the other books, it has many epic scenes, as well as battles. But the happiest scenes I think are scenes where a main character discovers something about themselves or the world, or reaches acceptance of some aspect of themselves.I did read mistborn, though first era so far, it seemed alot more shallow in character development and more mediocre compared to stormlight, though that probably was because it was written before the stormlight books.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? I gave up on Stormlight. It's good, in the technical sense, but you'll spend forever waiting on the payoff and I'm pretty sure OP is probably young enough that they're not ready for it. Nothing wrong with being young or anything like that, but stormlight is very grimdark in the "this is an on-screen slave branding" way, and there's very little happiness to be found in it. For someone who is at Percy Jackson and harry Potter, it's probably a bit like killing a puppy for like 30 words a book.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? At some point I think you should read the stormlight archive, though it is more intense than Harry Potter.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? if your going straight from Harry potter and percy jackson, I'd probably not recommend diving straight in to something like Sanderson's mistborn series, much less stormlight, since they're possibly heavier than your looking for. Skyward is a good bet though, being fast pased and scifi, about a rather hilarious girl living in a society on an alien planet constantly under attack from invaders who finds a special starship ai as her companion. You might also like Reckoners, sort of silly fast pased stuff about evil versions of super heroes who take over the world. if you like that sort of thing from Sanderson, then maybe go on to his other stuff and see how you find it.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? you're looking for Trials of Apollo, whatever the one in the middle is, or some of his other stuff. Go to Goodreads and find whatever authors you like and you can get a full list of their series. Fair warning though: he does basically exactly the same thing over and over and over and over and...You may like Young Wizards. The first book is good. The second book is great. It's sort of harry Potter and Percy Jackson in a blender plus what if wizards were programmers and also aliens exist. The first book is our two plucky heroes and a sentient white hole travel to an alternate universe New York in which cars are sentient, among other things. The second book is much darker, but even mentioning the plot is a pretty major spoiler. It is as crazy and awesome as it sounds, though somewhere around book 6 the quality goes down.Mortal Engines is about giant cities on wheels that eat each other. It is also as awesome as it sounds, but with the caveat that once you're well read it's kind of meh. But judging by where you are/what you're asking for, it may be perfect at this stage.upping the reading level/age target some, pick basically anything from brandon Sanderson that looks interesting and isn't Stormlight Archive. A lot of people like Stormlight Archive, but just one book of it is bigger than most trilogies, there's 4 of them all about the same size, and there's going to be 10. Mistborne is probably what he's most famous for, but he's also got some sci-fi and stuff.Dragonback by Timothy Zahn is sci-fi in which our hero has a dragon-thing warrior-poet companion that turns into a tattoo and they go on crazy adventures.To throw random things at the wall which are good but aren't necessarily in line with the theme: Narnia and Lord of the Rings are very influential classics. The Last Unicorn is good if you're looking for something that's poetic and melancholy and sort of beautiful, and not at all what you'd think it is from the title. Discworld, which is sold as comedy but kind of isn't (they're stand-alone, thief of time is about history monks who are responsible for making sure time happens, so that's maybe a good place to start).I could probably throw other things out, but this topic seems to be aiming in a sort-of YA direction and most of what I like isn't being as I'm almost 30 and have been reading a *lot* for 10 years. but if you want more serious/complex stuff, I can probably come back with things.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? if your a harry potter fan and like books about young people and magic, Dianna wynn jones is certainly an author to try. Extremely funny, dark in places, with a wonderfully offhand writing style, and genre that spans world hopping fantasy, to steampunk, to modern fairy tales, often taking into account some wonderfully weird ideas along the way. For something Ya her Crestomancy series are worth a look, starting with either Charmed life (going in publication order), or lives of Christopher chant (going in chronlogical order), about an enchanter whose job it is to keep peace around related worlds, including his own, which is sort of like an edwardian version of Britain with steam trains and magic, and occasionally touching on our world. For something a little older there is her castles series, famously beginning with howl's moving castle (yes, the basis for the Miazaki anime, though the books are very different), a bit mor Ya romance and less of the magic, but worth reading none the less. My lady and I also just finished her book deep secret, one of only two adult books she wrote, since she tended to believe that books about magic couldn't be aimed at an adult audience (sadly she predated Harry potter), that, along with a sudden wild magic are both also really good, though rather more scatty than most of her output. If you wanted something a little darker, I can recommend Susanne collins hunger games. yes, these are dystopia rather than magic, but deal with many of the same themes, and work in a much harsher way, albeit be prepared for some shocks and violence and bloody evil monsters.

Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson?
Re: What to read after reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson? You could try the spellsinger series. The first 6 books, which are the main series, are pretty funny. 7 and 8 aren't as good but that's just me. Graphic Audio did a good adaptation of them, as well.
