He just found out who his dad is and is about to go on the Quest. I read the series once, but it was long ago. I also haven't read the other series that comes after this

You should get on that. Rick is great.

Just recently re-read the first series (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) a few months ago, and am now currently finishing up the sequel series (Heroes of Olympus) for the first time. I hadn't read the first series since I first read it back in middle school so the nostalgia was fucking incredible. I'm really loving the sequel series a lot too, it expands a lot from the first series and adds a lot more great stuff.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, I enjoyed these books a lot more than Harry Potter, both now on my re-read and back then. It's a better world, has better characters, and it has a more interesting overall premise. Still love HP, but this franchise beats it out for me by a long shot.

Now we just need a much better, more faithful live adaptation like Harry Potter got with their movies, the ones we got for Percy Jackson are awful. I really hope the upcoming Disney Plus series does the franchise justice.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it my first time I read it as well. Which was right after the last book in the first series came out.
