Kort biografi
Richard Russell Riordan Jr. (born June 5, 1964) is an American author. He is known for writing the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, about a twelve-year-old Percy Jackson who discovers he is a son of the Greek god Poseidon. Riordan's books have been translated into forty-two languages and sold more than thirty million copies in the US. 20th Century Fox has adapted the first two books of his Percy Jackson series as part of a series of films. His books have spawned related media, such as graphic novels and short story collections.

Riordan's first full-length novel was Big Red Tequila, which became the first book in the Tres Navarre series. His big breakthrough was The Lightning Thief (2005), the first novel in the five-volume Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, which placed a group of adolescents in a Greco-Roman mythological setting. Since then, Riordan has written The Kane Chronicles trilogy and The Heroes of Olympus series. The Kane Chronicles (2010-2012) focused on Egyptian mythology; The Heroes of Olympus was the sequel to the Percy Jackson series. Riordan also helped Scholastic Press develop The 39 Clues series and its spinoffs, and penned its first book, The Maze of Bones (2008). His most recent publications are three books in the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series, based on Norse mythology. The first book of his The Trials of Apollo series, The Hidden Oracle, was released in May 2016.

Tells the story of Asgardian and Norse Mythology through the eyes of a demigod named Magnus Chase
Not really super education, it's just a really fun read!

Cuenta la historia de un héroe híbrido mitad humano, mitad dios, y también contiene algo de mitología griega antigua.

I did not realize this was book 4 of a series until I came to review it. I have read other Percy Jackson books but not any in this series. It can probably be read as a stand alone, but you may understand more if you are familiar with the Percy Jackson universe.

This seems to be an attempt to bring together Greek mythology and Egyptian mythology. I wasn't aware of Seraphis prior to this but it does provide a link tying the two together.

This is one of those series that I won't actively seek out, but if one crossed my path, I'd probably read it.… (mere)

Series of vignettes set on each of the 9 worlds loosely held together by Thor jogging. Very amusing
