God of War sends a hero wading through a living pantheon of monsters and gods, the same myth-soaked danger Percy faces, though its temper runs far darker than Riordan's quips. Fans should also try Hades, whose fast, funny take on the Greek underworld shares Percy's irreverence, and the Disney+ Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, which brings Camp Half-Blood to the screen.

Treasure hunts across dangerous, myth-soaked terrain
