Toaster Retribution he/him Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I only read the first Heroes of Olympus book (though I read the entire PJ-series). I though Jason was a horribly boring and flat character. I liked Leo though, he was by far the best part of that book. The PJ-series is awesome though, great stuff all the time (except for book 2 which was a bit boring). The fifth one was brilliant.

Son of Neptune is Percy's book along with two great Roman characters. The last three is a combo POV from everyone involved in the plot from Annabeth to Nico to Piper, but I don't think we really get into Jason's head again after the first book. You actually liked Leo? I found him annoying.

It does get dumb when he and Percy are turned into rivals for a while because both 'have to prove to be the better leader' which doesn't really go anywhere except to have in-team tension. I found Percy's team from Son of Neptune better written on their stories, one even has a history with the mcguffin of the book and she was my favorite of the new heroes. I guess I just don't find Hephaestus kids interesting since he tries too hard to be liked, has pyrophobia (which sucks for a blacksmith) and focuses a lot on his machines more than his teammates because he thinks he's the odd man out by not having a girlfriend. So not looking forward to The Dark Prophecy since he's one of the main characters helping Apollo in his quest.
