When I ran out of myths, he was disappointed and asked me if I could make up something new with the same characters. I had taught Greek myths for many years, so I was glad to comply. My son Haley asked me to tell him some bedtime stories about the gods and heroes. This is where you find out what's going on with them next. Again, different approach, the whole thing being told from Apollo's point of view as a mortal teenager, but all the characters from PJO and HoO show up in Trials. If you haven't read Heroes of Olympus yet, try it! I promise it’s not the end for Percy and the gang it’s a new twist.Īnd following Heroes of Olympus, you visit Percy's world again in The Trials of Apollo series. A story has to keep developing to be fresh, and if the author gets bored, the reader will get bored too. I know you’re thinking it's not the same, but that’s exactly the point I didn’t want it to be the same. Many of your favorite characters from PJO appear again in those books, but there is also a cast of new main characters.

Because of this, I launched the Heroes of Olympus series, starting with The Lost Hero in October 2010.

Having said that, I had a ton of ideas from Greek mythology that I could not fit into the Percy Jackson series, and there were many other stories about the characters at Camp Half-Blood that I wanted to explore. I’m so glad everyone enjoyed the series, but if I tried to keep it going longer it just would not be as exciting.

I believe it’s important for a series to have a strong ending, and I always knew that Percy’s story would be five books.

The main story that started in The Lightning Thief is wrapped up in The Last Olympian. Percy Jackson & the Olympians is a five book series.
