He seemed to be the center of the group, a character almost as important to the story and the characters as Percy. I could easily see some of the seven being killed off- Hazel, Frank, or Piper maybe- but I did not think Rick would kill off Jason.

At least he got the noble death he deserved. He died as he lived, a hero ready to make sacrifices for those he cared about. Though I feel bad for the rest of the seven once they find out. And Thalia. And Reyna. I think the news will hit them the hardest. I half imagine a scene where Percy flies into the Hunters to tell her face to face, and Thalia reacts as you might expect.

Blowing up trees.

Percy: Should I...

Artemis: Perhaps if you still had the Curse of Achilles, but not now. She needs to grieve

BOOM

Percy: She's not going to get into trouble, is she?

Artemis: Even among god standards me getting on a hunter's case about a little brother being dead would be the height of hypocrisy.
