They are both really good in different ways. If you want quick, fun and light go with Percy. If you want intense, captivating and serious go with GOT

What are you looking for? I haven’t read GOT but I know you’ll get epic battles and a great fantasy world. PJ is fun, lighthearted and easy to read.

The two movies are a genuine disappointment but the books are a lot of fun and if you like the style of writing, I would definitely recommend checking out the Trials of Apollo (set after the Heroes of Olympus) and The Cane Chronicles (before HOO).

I did Percy this summer , and almost read half of Clash of Kings. GOT is hard to read all they way at once for me. Idk why. Think it’s becasue I’ll never reach my reading goal.

Percy Jackson is my favorite series and of course, haven’t read games of thrones yet. But games of thrones seems like good read but big one

I think go for Percy Jackson because you’ll be able to fly through them if you like them unlike GoT. GoT is a full on life commitment xD the books are pretty big & there’s a lot to keep track of.Plus Percy Jackson is lighter & funnier.

Percy Jackson <3 I haven't read GoT or watched it (no desire at the moment) ... but I will say if you're looking for light reading this month, PJ is the way to go. If you don't mind heavier reading, GoT is pretty popular so it must be pretty decent 🙂

I have to say both of them. Can’t really compare the two since GOT is a high fantasy with a complex storyline, while Percy Jackson is a light-hearted YA fantasy read

No comparison really, but Percy is more of a fun read and GoT is more intense and much more interesting. In my view ??‍♀️

I haven’t read GOT, but Percy Jackson is definitely worth reading. It has a serious plot, but is still light and funny, and the books only get better throughout the series.

Yes indeed! But once you start, you will want to keep reading through the entire series!

yup! The Heroes of Olympus series is fun too!

Elizabeth Fox, it certainly is! I also enjoyed The Kane Chronicles. Needless to say, I was reading Rick Riordan’s books for a loooong time! (I am quite old, but my grandson was reading them, so I wanted to be able to discuss them with him. I loved them all! I taught in a high school, and really like teenagers, so that was appealing to me also.)

My son and I have read all of Riordan’s books. I’m pretty partial to Magnus Chase, myself.

@Elizabeth, have you read The Sisterhood series by Fern Michaels? One of the characters is a beautiful and brilliant lawyer named…Elizabeth Fox!

Percy Jackson! It’s a quick read and not as heavy as Game of Thrones 🙂

Both! Although Percy Jackson doesn’t take nearly as long to get through as GoT. GoT also has a lot more details to keep track of. I had to read a few chapters & then go read something else for a while & come back to it, but I eventually made it through the whole series. Oddly enough, I’m still working on getting through Percy Jackson.

Heavy or light reading. Its not easy even for me but I’ll go for light reading if its a good day. If its a great day, I’ll go for later. Both are good titles.
