I don't agree with you on Piper and Jason leaving. But I do agree that Leo was awesome in this book. Every time Piper looked at the blade it gave her that same scene of her, Jason, and Percy drowning. If something that was supposed to help me constantly showed me and my friends dying, I'd barely use it either. I don't see why you'd want Jason to leave as he hasn't had a chance to really do anything
