If you like Rick Riordan, check out the Kane Chronicles. Its so freakin underrated.

iamrikkithefreaky yessss!! Anubis is bae! Haha. I love that series.

[@anannyasriram5052]

YES! The Kane Chronicles is so underrated!

[@satwikas.2502]

Yes! I loved Percy Jackson, and I didn’t know if I would like it, but I loved it!

[@manifestyalife]

Totally agree

[@thomascochran7907]

Personally I read the books then read the graphic novels. I liked the graphic novels better The book seem a little slow. I think it works better as a comic.

Did anybody else immediately think of Percy Jackson / Heroes of Olympus?

My favorite book that features mythology is The Song of Achilles. It's a retelling of the myth of Achilles with Patroclus as the narrator. Heroes of Olympus is fantastic in my opinion, so I hope you enjoy it!

[@alyk.5525]

I love books that revolve around mythology, especially by rick riordan!

[@AClockworkReader]

Aly Art me tooooo 💙

[@alyk.5525]

A Clockwork Reader you should totally read the Kane Chronicles series by him, which is about Egyptian mythology!!

[@entpanimatics8070]

In my opinion he isn’t that good of a writer. The concepts are great but the actual characters and writing themselves are extremely armature.

[@asmijain2695]

@@entpanimatics8070 I believe you mean immature, which is probably because he originally came up with it for his little adhd/dyslexic son and his books are generally targeted at children/preteens.

[@ariwilliams4835]

You should read The Song of Achilles, which is a retelling of Homer's Iliad! I personally love both

[@Phelie315]

I was going to rec this, too :) Like you said, a retelling of the Illiad, but it focuses on the lovestory between Achilles and Patroclos! I didn't love it 100%, there was some weird stuff going on with some of the female characters, but other than that, a gay love story in a mythology setting, hell yeah!

[@victoriawinata5994]

[@TheNaMa6]

Honestly, I like Heroes of Olympus more than PJO!! It’s so great and the merging of Greek and Roman history is fascinating. Also my fave mythology book is The Dark Wife! It’s a retelling if the Hades/Persephone myth but Hades is a woman and the main antagonist is Zeus.

[@captainhyrule98]

I'm obsessed with mythology and love Rick Riordan's writing, so I was very happy to see a video like this, thank you! I would also highly recommend starting Heroes of Olympus. I haven't finished the series yet but its really great.

[@chryssie22]

You have to read Mythos by Vivian Fortis. Its the best mythology book ever ! And because its written by a greek writer its far more accurate than Ric Riordan's books. Its about a girl , Daphne Demetriade who will fall in love with her university teacher Phoebus Kristian , who apperently is Appolo. She will get into this world of Gods where Titans will try to kill her, the Gods will challenge her, she will get pregnat ( no its not a Twilight-like pregnancy its better I promise) etc. And I mean you really have to read these books( its a trilogy) because its VERY well written , its PERFECT for mythology and YA books fans and the characters are really complex and amazing. Phoebus its GORGEOUS and Daphne its really dynamic and fearless. There are a lot more I could say but I dont want to spoil anything for you so I think you would like it for sure !

[@BomBomBomiOlkkayo]

Yesssss~ Thank u so much!! I love mythology (especially greek)❤ Thanks to you i found many books ive never heard before that contain mythology 😊😘

[@BomBomBomiOlkkayo]

I would recommend the star crossed series by Josephine Angelini Its about the greek mythology

[@bahardailami1606]

OH MY GOD. I’d been watching your videos for SUCH A LONG TIME, and yet I didn’t know you were Persian. so am I🥺😭😍I don’t know why but this actually made me so very happy for some reasons.

[@shuvojyotirakshit5808]

I have an recommendation on this section : books of Amish Tripathi . He is an indian writer and his mythological fiction are great

[@chandureddy674]

Yeah, the Shiva Trilogy was AMAZING!!!!!!!! The second one was my favorite.

[@masteroogway8916]

magnus chase is by far rick riordan's best series and is wildly underrated. it has ridiculously amazing representation and amazing plot.

[@Writing_freak]

Kane chronicles too!

[@nelliandbooks]

I'm currently rereading Percy Jackson 💙

[@dipannitajannat2202]

A Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller broke my heart. It's a retelling of the Illiad, but from Patroclus's perspective, and if you want it to tick all the boxes (major deaths, major events) you will be a little disappointed because even though the war plays a very important role in the story, this book, unlike Illiad, isn't about the war. t it's core, it's a love story and one so beautifully, achingly told that I couldn't believe that the non-minute descriptions of the actions in the Batttle of Troy didn't bother me at all. At all. (I love the Illiad btw). It is beautiful

[@janhabibarat7271]

Ya it DESTROYED me!

[@iisimplyamy8031]

it DESTROYED me!! the story is so tragic and focuses on the bond of patroclus and achiless (which plays a significant role). after reading, i cannot get over the story and the only terrible thing about the book is that it ends 💔

[@rachase4013]

I recommend you read Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. Really enjoyed it!

[@Silkenpetal]

Rachel Attard Chase Gaiman is a genius when it comes to bringing myths to life!

[@89ohlala]

Rachel Attard Chase yes! I loved Loki so much

[@rachase4013]

[@danidoesbooks5080]

Some of my favourite mythology books are the Magnus Chase trilogy by Rick Riordan. They are my personal favourites of his, and they focus on Norse mythology. And I also really like the Pegasus series by Kate O'Hearn, which focuses mainly on Roman mythology.

[@jyu6977]

Hannah, dear you HAVE to read Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan and Kane Chronicles (there is Percy cameo in it) but especially Heroes of Olympus!! It's about Percy and bunch of new interesting and complex characters. The conflicts are more complicated and the relationship between the characters become more mature. You HAVE to read it, my dear😭❤️

[@amypellicer1237]

Happy Sunday! Hmm...I think I will go with Fact # 3 that you are terrified of boats. It was the only one not connected with music. Anywhooo, thanks for offering such a Great giveaway & looking forward to your next video! :)

[@leenamanji6626]

Definitely read The Song of Achilles, Hannah!! You would absolutely love it!! It's my all-time favourite book and it is based upon mythology, and its beautifully written! Love your videos as always!

[@Zachieboyy09]

1. Percy Jackson And The Olympians 2. Heroes Of Olympus 3. Magnus Chase And The God’s Of Asgard 4. Trials Of Apollo 5. Kane Chronicles

[@terrortax]

Hannah, READ the heroes of Olympus series, as soon as you can! I also grew up with PJO and I’m telling you that you will not regret it. I can’t waittt to hear your review!

[@Silkenpetal]

Hannah, as someone who is interested in Persian based books, I wonder if you have ever heard of "Beast" by Donna jo Napoli? Its a middle grade (I believe) novel taking the story of beauty and the beast in a Persian direction. It came out about a decade ago and is pretty good, you may want to check it out!

[@jacquelineatkins8906]

All of Rick's books are amazing! The Red Pyramid series is definitely worth the read, as well as the Magnus Chase ones. Also, I thing that the first one about the instruments is the lie.

Kane chronicles is great, but the chemistry between carter and zia is not well built. 😕

I think your lie is fact #1 (instruments). I oggled at a copy of Aruh Shah at the bookstore this weekend for a good 20 minutes this weekend before ultimately putting it back. Thanks for another great video!

[@petrinaramsaroop8570]

I think the 3rd one is a lie because you’re always so calm and collected even when you’re ranting about a book or anything for the matter so I don’t think you’ll be so scared that easily. I’ll reading Children of Blood and Bone right now and I’m LOVING it! I can see what you mean when you say it reminds you of Avater, it was one of my favorite shows growing up. Zuko is still my crush even through I’m 19 hahaha

[@annilehtonen438]

Hey! I was just wondering, have you read Salla Simukkas The Snow White Trilogy? It's not any mythology based serie, but I really recommend it😀

[@aminahhashmi2028]

Definitely start the heroes of Olympus series! I wouldn't say I loved it MORE than Percy Jackson, that series will always be special and amazing, but the new cast of characters have made it to my list of all time favourites and their backstories and entire dynamic make me so nostalgic and happy

[@ocean_rnb]

I recommend the Kane Chronicles. It’s about Egyptian mythology and it’s action packed. The first book is The Red Pyramid. I love them.

[@sims_hermit]

yes please read the heroes of Olympus series! I put it off for YEARS and finally finished it last year and it's super worth it!

[@shelleyann28]

I think the lie is the first fact. Side note: I’m so obsessed with your videos at the moment! I’ve gotten really into reading over the past couple years and you seem like such a genuinely nice and amazing person! I do NOT regret subscribing and I wish I would’ve found you sooner 💗

[@jade728]

Definitely would read heroes of Olympus! Don't fully get to return to camp half blood but you'll love all the new characters and of course Percy and annabeth:) I recommend trying the Kane chronicles too, I loved it:)

[@katsumi9158]

You should read Circe. It is so very inspiring and hopeful. You'll love it.

[@sierrawendt6790]

Children of Blood and Bone is my next read! Super excited! The lie... You're not actually afraid of boats!

[@LastEmbrace109]

Great video like always. I want to say it’s the instrument one.

[@tpstps85]

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty , The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden and Hunted by Meagan Spooner.

[@ferrisknight1885]

Also definitely read The Lost Hero. I am on the side that it is definitely better than the original series and the representation actually made me cry with happiness

[@quinngrey8916]

PLEASE read The Lost Hero right away!! The first few chapters I remember not being sure of, but the new characters are JUST as lovable as the old ones AND their stories get fleshed out a tone. While it is a slightly easy middle-school read, it is such a nostalgic experience that it doesn’t even matter. The amount of diversity is incredible and not forced at all, too!! (Hazel is by far has one of the most interesting backstories I’ve ever read from Riordon!!)

[@shaninem8286]

You should read the Tiger’s Curse series by Colleen Houck!! Based off Indian Mythology and I fell so in love with everything about that series 😍

[@stevenatkins5206]

I am currently re-reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief as I am watching this video; so I have to applaud you for your taste.

[@winniemaereact1391]

OMG I LOVE MYTHOLOGY YAAAASSSS

[@amipop1108]

Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier! It’s an adult Celtic mythology series with six books. Each book has a new main character from the same family, only a different generation (not counting the last three books). It’s so good! The story lines all intertwine in some way. Highly recommend! Probably one of my most favorite series.

[@kaitlynmcguire6473]

the magnus chase trilogy by rick riordan is really good!! it’s about norse mythology

[@itsdee4160]

You’ll love The Lost Hero!!!

[@3dwaffle23]

tbh i really like reading abt mithology, but the only ones i know are Rick Riordan's books (percy jackson, heroes of Olympus, Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase and Trials of Apollo) so i guess this is the video for me 😅

I think it’s the first fact that’s a lie, the 4 instruments one. Loved the video! Heroes of Olympus is by far one of my favorite series of all time!

[@misalexy]

Oh my god glad to see whichwood here! Its one of my favourites and it a good ride, but whichwood is actually a duology, the first book is Furthermore.

[@annelisealbert-hall535]

I'd recommend 'The Reluctant God' by Pamela F. Service. It was written a while ago(1988!) and focuses a little more on Ancient Egypt as a whole rather than its mythology, but it's a lot of fun.

[@eunhakim2258]

have you read the author's note for children of blood and bone? it's so poignant and beautiful

[@AClockworkReader]

[@brownXeyedXgirl1]

Another mythology book I personally really enjoyed was the Song of Achilles. I highly recommend! Also I believe the lie is that you can play four different instruments?

[@ruth7984]

The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker is my absolute favourite! I saw it in your goodreads marked as 'want to read', and you definitely should!

[@emilychau912]

Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller and To The Sky Kingdom by Tang Qi (loosely inspired by Chinese mythology). Madeline Miller is coming out with a new book in April called “Circe”

[@ok-td4nn]

You should read the young elites trilogy series by Marie Lu, it’s so fun to read and I can’t stop reading it over and over and I can never put the books down! The genre is fantasy, and it makes me cry and it is just so emotional. The books make me feel like I am living in the world, great books!

Thank you so much for making this video. I am planning on buying Aru Shah and the End of Time. I've seen Rick Riordan tweet about it on Twitter. I am not very familiar with Indian mythology and that book will be great for me to start knowing more about it.

[@nikkiej.5875]

I'm currently reading Percy Jackson. I'm finally reading the series after the longest time. I knew Percy Jackson was going to be in this video. Percy Jackson has become my new favorite series. I've heard of Roshani's young adult series but I haven't read it yet. I have the second book. I also still have to read Children of Blood & Bone. I also love mythology, particularly Greek mythology. It's my absolute favorite.

[@nohungryghosts]

[@tabitachristassia5139]

I can't believe you haven't read The Heroes of Olympus series! It's amazing and I honestly love it a bit more than Percy Jackson & the Olympians series.

[@marjoriesteppingtine8120]

I think the second one is the lie because it is the most intricate. Loved the vid!

[@ceilidancr]

PJO didn't get big until I was in high school, but when I was in late elementary school and early junior high, I loved a different Greek mythology book series, the Myth-O-Mania series by Kate McMullan, which retells all the myths from Hades' perspective. The premise is that Zeus wrote the versions we know, to make himself look good, but actually he's a compulsive liar and overly self-involved, so Hades takes it upon himself to tell readers the "real" stories, since he was the good guy all along. I remember them being hilarious and a lot of fun, so I definitely recommend them for PJO fans looking for more children's-level/middle grade mythology books. :D

[@zac8033]

Ok so I have a few books based on mythology that I own and that I recommend: Reawakened by Colleen Houck which is based on Egyptian mythology American Gods By Neil Gaiman Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman (one of my favorite books) Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly (don't know much about this one but it involves magic and mermaids) Thessaly (trilogy) based on Greek mythology

[@gabriellaland9205]

Where do you get all of your books? You have so many great ones!

[@Galistarwater]

Rick Riordan wrote other books based on Egyptian and Norse mythology, too:the Kane Chronicles series and the Chase Magnus series. Now, he's going back on Greek with The Trials of Apollo. I also recommend the Tiger's Curse series and the Reawakened series by Colleen Houck, one is based on Indian mythology and the other is Egyptian.

[@lenademeutter5937]

This video reminded me of the fact I need to ask my friend if I can have Whichwood back so I can read it (I left it at her place). Bless you, I’d totally forgotten.

[@dolphin1136]

I think that you being terrified of boats is the lie (I guess since you’re always so calm and collected in your videos it’s hard to picture you terrified of anything lol) and one of my favorite mythology books is the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan.

[@AClockworkReader]

hahaha thank you

[@kinleybowman7069]

The Magnus Chase trilogy is the best

[@carolinetaylor6988]

I love Magnus Chase too - it's one of my favorite series of all time even though the third one wasn't as good as the first two. Blitzen and Hearthstone are my favorite characters!

[@halliwellsis93]

Temping Fate by Esther Friesner. It contains multiple mythology structures and is a standalone middle grade novel.

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

Thankyou Hannah, I love Avatar the last airbender, so I guess I need to read of blood and bone! This was great , I loved it! I'm reading the song of Achilles and I will read Circe next!

[@getbookish]

I've not read much mythology-based work, because Greek and Roman mythology were never something I was taught or took an interest in growing up, I think? It's something I'm quite regretting as I get older. I've always been told to ready the Percy Jackson series and simply never have, but I definitely will seek it out now, based on your enthusiasm! I have, however, read The Pyrdain Chronicles, by Lloyd Alexander which I can't recommend highly enough; the five-book series draws on Welsh mythology and is adventurous and silly and so wholeheartedly fun, while being brilliantly crafted. Loved this video! -Les

[@rosesarerosie9718]

Percy Jackson is one of the series that got me into reading. I adore it too the way you are! The other mythology books that I can recommend you is Tiger's Saga trilogy by Coleen Houck (it's based on Indian mythology). Give it a try, you might love it.

[@sanahs323]

Hey Hannah! I think the lie was the second one, that you wrote a song about Jacob Black. I’m crossing my fingers!
