Ruthanne Shahdia, your right, it isn't her fault but she(Piper) shouldn't keep to herself, if she really is insecure she should talk to jason ask what's wrong if he is becoming distant. If he doesn't want to talk, she should just push it aside, or tell him it's bothering her. It's just sometimes really annoying reading about it.

Ananth Well, Piper can worry about anyone she wants, but there is a war going on. In war, your relationship with people is just a distraction.


Ruthanne Like I said before Piper is becoming annoying, and whiny worrying about Jason becoming distant when she should be focused on the task ahead.

Aphrodite's kid. What else is there to say?


message 205: by Ananth (new)

Ananth Silena Beauregard was a Child of Aphrodite. She was a true hero. Being Aphrodite's kid doesn't mean that you can slack off and be an ass.

On a side note, Why do they say French is " the language of love"? Are they implying that other languages are ugly and only French is beautiful?

Also why do they make Leo seem like an illegal immigrant who causes shit? Meaning, he's part Mexican and his dad is the "ugly god.


Amphitrite I know right she does whine a lot and she is always trying to be the perfect girlfriend to Jason but she could have turned out worse at least she isn't like Drew

Ananth Piper is trying to be the perfect girlfriend to Jason.

Ananth I'm sorry, but what is sarcasm?*sarcasm*


Allison I hate Piper. And Jason. And Reyna.

They're all just........annoying to me. Especially the first two. Piper because she's all like, "Oh, I hate this...Jason's hot!" And then Jason because he's like, "Woah, Piper's hot...Man, we almost died...Man, Piper's a freaking hottie."

sarcasm
ˈsɑːkaz(ə)m/
noun
noun: sarcasm; plural noun: sarcasms
the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.
"she didn't like the note of sa..."


She was being sarcastic. Man, this is confusing.

Ananth All of you are bastards.

But wait, since im so stupid, what is the definition of bastard?

Does it mean a person who has no parents?

Allison O-KAY!

We're getting off topic! There's no need to call people a b-----d (especially when they didn't do anything *ahem* my parents ARE married) and there is no need to call people stupid or to act all smart-alecky. So let's just be nice, okay?

Smiles all around?

Anton Now let's do something different. Who's more annoying:
1. Percy Haters
2. Annabeth Haters
3. Jason Haters
4. Piper Haters
5. Nico Haters
6. Thalia Haters
7. Leo Haters
8. Reyna Haters
9. Frank Haters
10. Hazel Haters
P.S: This isn't my order, I'm just listing these haters.


message 216: by [deleted user] (new)

Piper's okay. She didn't really annoy me.


Cleopatraselene2 I think Piper has very valid reasons to dislike Percy. Also, it is not whining. If you are looking for a whiner, look right at Percy.


message 218: by Jae (new)

Jae Yarad What I don't When Piper says that Percy is unimpressive is that she is nothing compared to Percy or Annabeth or anyone else on the Argo 2.


message 219: by Jae (new)

Jae Yarad (Response to Kevin message 43. Where in Olympus did you get that idea from?


message 220: by Jae (new)

Jae Yarad I prefer Leo Valdez over her and that is'nt a compliment to anybody.


message 221: by Jae (new)

Jae Yarad Response to Message 32 Elena. How could you not like Annabeth. She's a good character and by the way, Annabeth had good reason to be suspicious. Jason was once a Roman and still remained loyal. It's still a chance he might betray the Greeks. Think about that next time Elena


message 222: by Jae (new)

Jae Yarad Percy seemed weak? YOU TAKE THAT BACK

I will always think Percy is better than Jason and to be honest Piper and Jason's relationship was fake from the start so she's probably harboring some jealousy because she doesn't have the same bond with Jason that Annabeth has with Percy. Like yeah you have a freaking knife that can see the future. What's important is you know how to use it. Also Percy is incredibly impressive so she needs to stop whining and chill herself out. I'm so freaking biased though lmaoo. Also that was me agreeing to what you were saying.

Well some people get really invested in books I don't think that's a bad thing. They're just involving themselves in the conversation.

Nobody hates the series it's just our opinion on the character. And just because it's fictional doesn't mean we shouldn't have a discussion. If it's annoying then turn off your alerts.


message 226: by Iyanla (new)

Iyanla Piper is a good character and a good part of her team. It's not that she's a bad character or not essential to the team it's just that sometimes her point of view can be annoying and boring when she worries so much about Jason.


message 227: by Arizona (new)

Arizona Lights yep, Piper is pretty much the most useless character. Her POV was hella boring, I swear I just got through it quickly so I could get to the others'. I didn't mind her in Lost Hero, but in MoA she just came off as really superficial and whiny and weirdly obsessed with Jason. That one line about finding Percy unimpressive, after all the Herculean things this guy has done, solely because of his APPEARANCE, made me so mad it almost single-handedly ruined Piper's character in my eyes.


message 228: by Mai (new) - rated it 5 stars

Mai To be honest, I never thought much about it. I mean it's in her mind, it's not like she's saying out loud.

Piper is really annoying when she said Percy was unimpressive. I was like, "Did you really just say that?" Also, Annabeth doesn't always need to rein Percy. He can be in control, but he sometimes does need help. Still, Piper shouldn't have said that about Percy.

I'll bet almost all of the people who complain about Piper are the ones who read the original Percy Jackson series. You know, the one with the Last Olympian and all that? They become emotionally attached to the main character, and since the comment section in GoodReads is away to post their opinions, they complain about how they think Percy Jackson is a better hero. This way, they can feel accomplished because other people start agreeing with them. Also, I read the original series too. So...
1. Percy can breathe underwater, create hurricanes, and control tidal waves.
2. He is an illegitimate prince.
3. He has an entire series to himself.
4. He helps train Magnus Chase.
5. He has power over the entire underwater animal kingdom, including horses.
6. He was offered immortality.

All she can do is talk. mmHHMMMM.
Wait until Blood of Olympus. Oh, she still only uses her voice (and food), but her voice is very powerful. Powerful enough to put a extremely evil- um... person?... no... -God++ to sleep.

I sincerely doubt that someone like Piper who have enough self-awareness to realize that they have bad traits like that. I also see a VERY SURPRISING lack of any frustrated or angry comments on how mean these comments are with judging their personalities.
Also, very few people are pretty AND a demigod AND have a mediocre, personality-less copycat of a boyfriend.

I fully understand and agree with what you're saying, however, it was sort of annoying when Piper said that Percy was unimpressive. I mean, he defeated Ares when he was twelve with almost no training, got the golden fleece, held up the sky, navigated the labyrinth, blew up a mountain and almost destroyed the western half of the United States, bathed in the river Styx, controlled the river Styx and defeated Hades, created a typhoon circling him and defeated a titan(can't remember which one) helped defeat Kronos (with Luke), lost his memory but still managed to get back all of Camp Jupiters lost weapons outside of Olympus's jurisdiction, jumped into Tartarus with Annabeth (this is the end of what happened when Piper said Percy was unimpressive.), he also tortured a goddess of poison with her own poison, escaped Tartarus, etc. Not to mention he was the/a main demigod in the two major prophecies. He did a lot of huge things and most of these things were before he even turned 18. Piper calling him unimpressive compared to Jason is uncalled for as all Jason did was battle Kronos's second in command and save Piper from falling into the Grand Canyon - from what we know (we hadn't been given much to go on) - but I feel that Percy is at least as impressive if not more impressive then Jason is. If you ask me, Jason is unimpressive compared to Percy, but I'm biased because I love Percy.

Paloma I like Piper, but it was quite annoying.


message 235: by Thalia (new)

Thalia  Grace I dont like piper but im also biased because i love percy so when she said theat is kinfa annoyed me. But another reason is because fir somone who is suposed to be against being a cliche aphrodite girl alot what she talks about is her relationship / love life. Now dont get me wrong she is far from a cliche aphrodite girl she is definatly a badass just you cant say she doesnt have some aphrodite in her. I think out of all the characters she has the easiest life (not sayi g she has an easy life just better than others).
Over all she is not a bad person just had bad chatacter developmen.
