<header><h1>Percy Jackson Reading Order</h1></header>
<main>
<section class="text">
<p>If you're reading Percy Jackson books for the first time, this is the reading order I suggest. It's mostly publishing order, but also basically chronological order. <em>The Senior Year Adventures</em> books are the only ones that were published out of chronological order, besides short story collections. This is also a great reading order for a re-read!</p>

</ol>
<p><span class="emoji">&#128218;</span> Yes, if you're reading Percy Jackson books for the first time, I suggest reading <em>Chalice of the Gods</em> and <em>Wrath of the Triple Goddess</em> after <em>Heroes of Olympus</em>, before reading <em>Trials of Apollo</em>. <em>The Senior Year Adventure</em> books go chronologically between <em>Heroes of Olympus</em> and <em>Trials of Apollo</em>. This is contrary to my usual advice of reading books in publishing order. The reason for the exception is that they're not really prequels to <em>Trials of Apollo</em>. <em>The Senior Year Adventures</em> directly continue Percy's story, whereas <em>Trials of Apollo</em> is more of a spin off. </p>
<h3 id="magnus-chase-and-the-gods-of-asgard-series">Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard Series</h3>
<p>Magnus Chase is a separate series, but Annabeth and Percy cross over and make a couple of cameo appearances. I suggest reading these any time after The Senior Year Adventures. The third Magnus Chase book, <em>The Ship of the Dead</em>, was published after <em>The Dark Prophecy</em>, the second book in the Trials of Apollo series.</p>
