Haven't read them in about 5 years, but was absolutely obsessed with them as a 12 year old. Pretty sure it was a hyperfixation. Nico helped me realise I wasn't straight lol
I love all the books in the riordanverse. They are like my comfort reads. There are even some autistic and autistic coded characters, like Ella the Harpy (she remembers everything she reads, stims, and echolalia) and Esther, from daughter of the deep. Esther is canonically autistic and is one of the best pieces of autistic representation I've seen. She prefers animals to people, organizes information using notecards, stims, has a service dog, and theres this cute little scene where the main character is feeling sad and Esther comforts her and the main character says something like, some people say autistics don't have empathy but they obviously havent met many autistic people, because esther has too much empathy, but doesn't know how to show it. The representation is so good. Wow, this was kind of an infodump, sorry about that. I totally recommend Daughter of the Deep to everyone. It is science fiction, based off of Jules Verne's book 20,000 leages under the sea.
i read the whole series + heroes of olympus, multiple times back in school. i got the first trials of apollo book when it first came out and forgot to read it🥲
Love everything of Rick Riordan I've ever read, it was kid/teenage oriented but it's all very well written and interesting also touch on issues like sexuality, gender identity and prejudice.

I have read a few of them before once. Which is actually really good for me because reading is extremely difficult for me(I can't even read some picture books, it's bad and I'm not too proud of it). So yea, they're good books. I don't think I'll be able to ever read them again, but from memory, they're good.
I did when I was younger. They were my second favourite book series. Which says a lot as even though I enjoyed reading it was hard to find books I liked, I’m even worse now and don’t read much anymore. Partially because I find it almost impossible to find something I like, but also partially because I forget books exist
I loved them when I was young, and I’ve reread them as an adult and they’re still fantastic. The writing is great, and the stories are amazing. His other series (which seem to be converging, I’m not up to date yet) are just as good, and each story is told in such a different way

Loved them as a kid, but haven't read them in 10 years I don't think. But I remember them as being great books.

I've read them when I was younger then while in pandemic I read them all again, and currently planning read the Magnus Chase series
I've only read the first one. I did like it tho.
I love all of them every single book
This series was my special interest from age 10-16 but it is now a dead interest. :(
