I don't think there were any on the same level as the Greek/Roman ones. I mean, even the Egyptians claimed to be sons of gods but RR didn't make the Kane siblings demigods. Also, the summary from Amazon/Goodreads is true (which makes me cry) since RR just posted a link to the description on tumblr. Magnus kind of sounds like a Gary Stu already? And Sword of Summer is like TLT 2.0? Even with the excitement after PJO/HoO I don't think this series will be very popular at all.
