Disney+ recently released the initial episode of the 'Percy Jackson' Series. As we wait for more episodes, there is no better time to read its book counterpart in order.

Initially, the 'Percy Jackson' series consisted of just five books. Rick Riordan added another series, 'The Heroes of Olympus,' comprising five books. Considering the abundance of stories in Greek mythology, Riordan created a third series called 'The Trials of Apollo,' which has five books. Another two books were also made for characters Riordan thinks need some revisiting.

Here is a guide to ensure your reading journey aligns with the storyline.
