If Magnus tangling with Loki’s schemes, trading quips with the talking sword Jack, and racing to stop Fenris felt perfect to you, you’ll love how Percy Jackson discovers he’s Poseidon’s son and sprints cross‑country to return Zeus’s stolen bolt. From outwitting Medusa at a roadside emporium to taking on Ares on a beach, The Lightning Thief delivers the same fast, funny, modern‑myth energy that made The Sword of Summer such a blast.

Loved Magnus’s deadpan humor and Jack’s nonstop wisecracks? Meet Bartimaeus, a djinni whose razor‑edged snark (complete with hysterical footnotes) constantly punctures his young summoner’s ego. As Nathaniel’s scheme spirals into a power struggle involving a stolen amulet and London’s magical elite, The Amulet of Samarkand channels the same laugh‑out‑loud voice and chaotic magical escapades you enjoyed when Magnus and friends barreled through Boston and the Nine Worlds.

If the gods popping up in modern Boston, Hotel Valhalla’s elevator stops, and Magnus’s street‑level sprints to keep doomsday at bay grabbed you, The Alchemyst will hit the same sweet spot. Twins Sophie and Josh stumble into a battle between Nicholas Flamel and the sinister Dr. John Dee, dodging mythic beings like Scathach through San Francisco and beyond—much like Magnus’s madcap dashes to keep Fenris contained and outwit Loki’s traps.

If Hearthstone, Blitzen, Samirah, and Magnus winning each other’s loyalty in life‑or‑death scrapes was your favorite part, you’ll vibe with Kaz Brekker’s crew as they risk everything on an impossible heist. Like Magnus’s team‑ups to keep the Wolf bound, Six of Crows builds gripping camaraderie through razor‑sharp banter and hard‑won trust—think Inej’s quiet steel, Jesper’s quips, and Nina/Matthias’s friction turning into fierce loyalty.

If Samirah al‑Abbas balancing Valkyrie duties with her Muslim identity and Hearth’s ASL representation meant a lot to you, meet Aru, an Indian‑American girl who wakes a demon (the Sleeper) in an Atlanta museum and discovers a destiny steeped in Hindu mythology. With Aru and Mini teaming up, riding celestial mounts, and facing tests as funny and harrowing as Magnus’s run‑ins with giants and gods, this adventure brings heart, heritage, and heroism together.
