Ok guys I have a detailed post here...Hope u will all read with patience and reply,agree/disagree.

1.Blood of Olympus had re-hashed fight scenes, video-game-like "complete x quest at y location to proceed", and broken storylines. The mini-quests were boring and the idea of "having to split up because of some random reason" was really forced and Percy/Annabeth were deadweights every single time.The cover literally states "Percy Jackson's Final Battle Begins', a, what battle? and b, where was Percy?

2.In this book, several characters were left completely ignored, not only Percy and Annabeth. The biggest example of this is the blatant absence of Hazel throughout this book. Seriously, I doubt she had more than 10-20 lines of dialogue and played no important part in the story whatsoever aside from a few Mist tricks, which seemed to be her only purpose in the entire book. Next to her is Frank - another example of someone who pretty much played no part in this story aside from using his powers to help out a little bit.

3.the threat in The Blood of Olympus was far greater than that of The Last Olympian. And yet, the giants were pretty much defeated in "2 seconds" (as stated by Hazel, one of the only lines of hers that I can remember) and so was Gaea. How can the most fearsome enemies of the gods and the Earth herself be defeated like a piece of cake? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.Piper,who had like a WEEK of training in swordplay,defeating giants!?Joke of the day.

4.all the loose ends Frank was told he will make the hardest decision, Jason had to hold them together, Percy had the giant flaw, someone had to die Frank's firewood, Annabeth being the biggest problem in the quest,... Most of the unique things that were so hyped over the series with entire chapters about parent gods telling their children just that, are nothing, not even mentioned.Seriously there are SO MANY DAMN LOOPHOLES that I've lost track!

5.piper was pushed onto us A LOT. I never was a big fan of her(Read;she is awful) so I didn't really like it. I also didn't like the little Nico and Will thing. I feel like he added that just so Nico would have a relationship.

6.Jason becomes Percy and Piper becomes Annabeth.(SUMMARY OF BOO)

7.Did we ever even find out how or who the son of Neptune even drowned? What happened to Percy's apocalyptic choice? Please don't tell me not deciding to fly up on Frank after Gaea was it.

.All in all This series it seems like he just made stuff up as he went along. Ultimately I think he got so into creating his new series that he just wanted to close this up and got lazy with it. That would explain him carelessly leaving loose ends and all the foreshadowing he forgot he put in other the other books.
