A few thoughts on The Lost Hero
Fans of demigod quests and elemental coming-of-age should watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, where young heroes grow into world-shaping power. Saint Seiya runs on the same Greek-myth engine, warriors bound to gods and constellations. For a longer hunt with sharper stakes, try the anime Hunter x Hunter.
Demigods and mortals caught up in the games of the gods
Jason, Piper and Leo are pulled into a war between old and new gods, and that same collision between ordinary teenagers and ancient myth runs through this shelf. Percy Jackson and the Olympians tells the earlier half of the same pantheon's story, Saint Seiya arms its own chosen fighters for the gods, and God of War drags a reluctant father through a different mythology entirely.
Ordinary teenagers who turn out to be extraordinary
Jason wakes up with no memory of who he is supposed to be, and that same jolt, an ordinary kid discovering they were never ordinary, drives every title here. Smallville and Stranger Things watch small-town teenagers grow into strange new abilities in real time, while Avatar: The Last Airbender hands its own reluctant kid a destiny nobody chose for him.
Chosen kids banding together against a growing evil
The Lost Hero throws three strangers together and asks them to trust each other fast, a setup this batch of fantasy quests shares. Brisingr and Wizard and Glass send young, unproven heroes into old wars they did not start, Redwall stages the same fight for home through a very different cast, and The Girl Who Drank the Moon and Oathbringer scale that same courage up to full kingdoms.
Found-family teams leveling up their powers together
Leo, Jason and Piper barely know each other yet have to become a working team fast, and that found-family-under-pressure energy powers a lot of shonen adventure. Hunter x Hunter and Fullmetal Alchemist both follow young allies who train and grow stronger side by side, Inuyasha throws its mismatched crew across a dangerous world on a single shared quest, and Assassination Classroom turns an entire unlikely classroom into one tight-knit unit.
