Mythology-Based Fantasy
If you love magical worlds, epic adventures, and characters that feel like family, these are my top fantasy picks. These books kept me up way too late turning pages.
I read this book when I was younger and I absolutely fell in love with it! I love Percy and his character and the way Rick Riordan weaves Greek gods into modern America is amazing. It's funny, fast-paced, and emotional at times.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series
This book series picks up where Percy leaves off but introduces Roman mythology too. I loved getting multiple points of view (Leo stole my heart). Seeing how Greek and Roman versions of the same gods clash was so interesting. The Rome setting in late...
Heroes of Olympus Series
This book series is written by the same author of Percy Jackson. In this novel series, egyptian mythology gets to shine! Carter and Sadie Kane are siblings that argue, banter and ofcourse, save the world. If you liked Percy Jackson, you'll enjoy this. There's even a fun crossover later if you pay attention.
Kane Chronicles, The Paperback Box Set ...
Norse mythology! The Valhalla setting is hilarious, imagine an eternal hotel for warriors who just want to party and fight forever.
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard Paperback Boxed Set
The main character, Apollo, gets turned into a mortal teenager. He's vain, selfish, and honestly pretty insufferable at first, but that's the point. Watching him grow and learn humanity over 5 books was way more emotional and interesting than I expec...
Trials of Apollo, The 5 Book Paperback Boxed Set
I'm still reading this one but already obsessed! It's a Chinese mythology-inspired fantasy about Xingyin, the daughter of the moon goddess, on a quest to save her mother. If you love lush, atmospheric writing with slow-burn romance, this is for you.
Daughter of the Moon Goddess (Celestial Kingdom Duology #1)
LOVED this book. Chinese mythology meets modern-day gaming culture. Zack is a Muslim Chinese-American kid just trying to survive middle school when suddenly he's pulled into a battle with emperors, magic, and spirits. I learned so much about Chinese ...
Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor by Xiran Jay Zhao, Paperback
Japanese mythology adventure in the same vein as Percy Jackson. Momo is dealing with typical middle school drama, friends and feeling like she doesn't fit in when she discovers her heritage involves gods and monsters. This book was such a fuuuun read...
Momo Arashima Steals the Sword of the Wind by Misa Sugiura, Paperback
I read this book series when I was younger and I absolutely fell in love with it! I love Percy and his character and the way Rick Riordan weaves Greek gods into modern America is amazing. It's funny, fast-paced, and emotional at times.
