Notes
- From the series record (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard): Clean linear trilogy, Norse-mythology continuity. Magnus Chase is established as Annabeth Chase's first cousin, and Percy Jackson makes a direct in-novel cameo in The Ship of the Dead; a closer, in-text crossover tie to Camp Half-Blood than Kane Chronicles has (see admitting decision).
