I think I liked Kane or Percy Jackson best but the Heroes of Olympus books are really good too (so far)!


Dani Percy Jakcson. <:D


Emma Percy, or Hero's of olympus. Anything with Annabeth.


Laura Percy Jackson, then Heroes of Olympus, then Kane


Alyssa I seriously can't choose, I love them all, but I do think the Kane Chronicles should be longer!!! I would really enjoy that!


Sara Hmmmmmm..... Tough one uhhhhhhhh..... I think I have to say PJO and HoO are tied for the best.


Celestina I like them all for diffrent resons. Heros of olympus for suspence, Percy jackson for the awsome chapter names and the start of it all and kane chronicals because it gives you a new mothology so much unlike the ones Rick has done in the past.

Yeah, you get to learn a lot about the mythology in Kane

Nathan I like Percy Jackson better because I'm not too familiar with Egyptian myth. Also, I think the Kane chronicle is much more confusing than Percy Jackson because of the god possessing human part. In Percy Jackson, if you were the children's of the gods, then you possess their power. in Kane chronicles, there is a god possessing human and that really threw me off.

I totally agree. Rick riordan definitely should have added on at least one bk. I think I love the first PJ series just because it was the first, original series that Percy was featured in, and I think the best.


Angel Castillo Percy Jackson, of course

The first or second???


Angel Castillo First, the second are alright I guess. Kane seems too dramatic and not real, I mean the way they act its not the way a 13 and 15 yrs old act

I think he should bring the Kane siblings to camp half blood and do a series with all of them together.

Parker Heroes of Olympus

First read, first loved. Plus, Rick really improved as a writer by that second series. His scenes are better developed. Like, I just went back and read the Calypso scene in TBotL And I was like, THAT'S ALL!? HE SPENT TWO WEEKS WITH HER AND ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS THAT SHE AND HER ISLAND WERE PRETTY!? YE GODS! LEO'S SCENES HAD SO MUCH MORE DETAIL! YOU'RE KILLING ME!


Connie Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olypus equally!

Kane Chronicles...not so much, but they are still good books. Rick Riordan just sets his standards too high. XD


Jenelle I am really enjoying all three. I am also very excited that (view spoiler)

A The Percy Jackson series started it all. What I would want to see is a Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicles mash up series. Imagine Sadie and Annabeth butting heads. Or Sadie and Clarissa. Reading Percy and Carter fight in Son of Sobek was hilarious.

Robyn Either The Percy Jackson series or Heroes of Olympus. The Kane Chronicles is great, but I think because I read the Percy stuff first and Greek/Roman mythology interests me more...


message 31: by Lani (new) - rated it 3 stars

Lani Percy Jackson, but I like The Heroes of Olympus. I really didn't enjoy the Kane Chronicles.


message 32: by Tyler (new)

Tyler Bossom The Kane Chronicles were good, but they weren't the best. I like Percy Jackson and the Olympians best because it was the original and it was more of the action/adventure/mythology and nothing else. There is way too much romance in Heroes of Olympus and everybody is getting paired off. I don't mind a little bit of it, but I feel like that is the main focus of the series and not the actual war of the Giants. How many Giants have we seen in the first three books? Four. Five if Otis and Ephialtes were separate. Over how many chapters? Like two each. Just saying...

Cleopatraselene2 I like the Kane Chronicles better because they're Egyptian and I love Egyptian stuff. They are way more exciting than the "Olympus" books. They have way better characters than PJ and the olympians. I would like the Heroes of Olympus second.


Theodosia of the Fathomless Hall (All thoughts, remarks, and comments, are in my own regard and not meant to reflect what everyone else should think about it; it would be fun though).
Percy Jackson. The Kane Chronicles are close, The Heroes of Olympus are atrocious, but Percy Jackson was the first and the best. In my opinion!


⚜Renna Grace ⚜ Kane


Georgia Percy Jackson, or the Kane Chronicles(they both have Percy). Then the Kane Chronicles


message 37: by Tyler (new)

Tyler Bossom I think first is Percy Jackson, then Kane Chronicles, then Heroes. They are all close though.

P.S. You listed the Kane Chronicles twice, and it doesn't actually have Percy. Did you mean Heroes of Olympus?


Srikari percy jackson . END OF STORY


message 39: by Spa (new) - rated it 5 stars

Spa PERCY JACKSON


Cleopatraselene2 Kane Chronicles because they are more interesting and it is Egyptian. The characters in the Kane Chronicles are slot more nice than in the other series. I don't see why you all like Percy so much. He is a jerk! Compared to Carter or any character from the Kane Chronicles (except Sadie) he is too mean and full of himself!


Rachel Jackson Ooh I love Kane!!! And Heroes got progressively better. But I think I love PJo the best. They are all really close thought.


message 42: by Neha (new) - rated it 5 stars

Neha Hands down- The Heroes of Olympus series. And the reason is NOT just Percy Jackson- but because of EVERY Hero I met in this series!


Cleopatraselene2 I like Heroes of Olympus series second. Then the other one. Kane Chronicles are in my opinion the best!


message 44: by Giorgo (new) - added it

Giorgo Caripidis THere aree 2 sereis of just percy jackson and greeks but Kane Chronicles spices it up. plu i really like the way of narrating. thou i will finnish blood of olympus because i want to then there will be a final veridect


Sic Transit Gloria The Kane Chronicles are best!

Percy Jackson pales in comparison with the Kane Chronicles. Rick Riordan really matured in his writing by having two narrators (from different countries). It really shows off his skill as a writer.

Now you might be wondering why the Heroes of Olympus isn't at the top for this reason. Well, I haven't finished that series yet, so the verdict is still out.


Jaynie The Kane Chronicles. I enjoyed it much more than Percy Jackson.

Percy




Sundas Heroes of Olympus because of Leo. then kane chronicles and then Percy Jackson
