Sushanth Sai asked this question about The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus, #5):
I hate this book Percy and Annabeth did not play any freaking role in this book except spilling their blood and percy getting his ass kicked every time his name comes up . does any one feel the same way ?

At the same time, though, Heroes of Olympus is not a completely different series, not really. It's not like the Kane Chronicles with a separate setting and different gods, or even like the Trials of Apollo, with an entirely new set of characters. HOO still has Percy and Annabeth and Nico as vital characters. The series might not have started with them, but the /Percy Jackson World/ did. And it's not like we were able to move on to a different hero, because Percy was still there in a very big way. And as I mentioned before, logically, it makes sense to end focusing on Jason and Piper and Leo, but emotionally, the readership became attached to Percy and Annabeth, first and foremost, and it's not fair to simply ignore that. We still need closure. (less)
