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 ?

Riordan did point out that Percy, Annabeth, and Grover would be mentioned, but they weren't supposed to play the main role the other characters were meant to. (Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Frank, etc.) Plus, I thought it was great in a way because we heard all about mythology, gods/goddesses, and quests from another point of view other than Percy's. I mean, we, as Percy Jackson fans, already know Percy's mindset in a whole. Hearing what goes on from other point of views could and is refreshing. I actually enjoyed the ending, and I love the fact that Riordan doesn't like the whole epilogue thing. Let the readers decide the ending... :)(less)
