The wildly popular creations of Rick Riordan have been captivating kids and adults alike for decades.
His Percy Jackson series has been given the big screen treatment multiple times, and a hotly anticipated Disney Plus series is also set to drop in mid-December. But even without all of that, the books themselves sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide, and have been translated into a number of languages, which shows just how incredible they are.
While we love the teen demigod and his antics, Riordan has also created a number of other characters. Some of them are based in the Percy Jackson world (also known as the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles), where Greek Gods exist in the modern era, whereas others exist in stories from completely different genres. He even has a standalone YA sci-fi novel, so no matter what genre of book you prefer you’ll probably find something of his that you won’t be able to stop reading.
If you love Rick Riordan’s style and want to plunge into his work, or if you’re just brushing up on Percy Jackson before the new series drops, then our list of all Rick Riordan books in order will help you out.
All Rick Riordan books in order
Aside from the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles, Riordan also wrote a number of other series. There’s The Kane Chronicles, which utilizes Ancient Egyptian mythology for its characters, his early crime series Tres Navarre, crossover anthologies, short story collections, and plenty more.
Below you’ll see these organized into different sections per series, so you can read all Rick Riordan books in order with ease. The sections are ordered by the publication date of the first novel in the series.
Not included in this list of all Rick Riordan books in order is his entry to The 39 Clues series, The Maze of Bones. This book was released in 2008 but the rest of the entries in the series are written by other notable YA and teen authors, so we feel it doesn’t belong. However, if you are looking for a clean sweep of Riordan novels, then you should be aware of its existence.
