For me it would be Percy Jackson. Harry Potter was my childhood and i loved the books and i loved the movies i loved everything about that series…till i was bullied by my classmates out of liking it. I reread them still and i relized that (imo) it’s not that good of a series. I read other things like Game of Thrones (bout to start the second book in the series) and (again imo) it didn’t hold up. It’s good don’t get me wrong just not what it used to be for me. Then i met my boy Percy. Where do i start? At the time i was big into mythologies (still am) and watched everything i could find on youtube or some movie i could watch. Then i see the mythology guy’s reviwe on the movies and im like ‘its intresting i could give it a read’. 3 months later and i start Heroes of Olympus and am not planing to stop. It was Perfect way better Harry Potter and on same level as Game of Thrones (imo). For me it had that charm that Harry Potter didn’t. It found such smart ways to incorporate mythology into modern times, good charachter development, intresting story archs and godawfull cliff hangers at the end of almost any book (one time litrelary) all of wich kinda lacked for me in Harry Potter.
