You might be right and I hope you are cause I'm not sure how RR will be able to pull the whole Tartarus thing if he does give them a PoV. I said it wasn't fair because the last book was heavily inclined towards the Greeks and to make things fair he should make it about the Romans this time. Also, MoA was Annabeth's story mostly just like TLH felt like it was Jason's and SoN Percy's. I already thought it was weird he gave Percy a PoV in MoA after we had his in SoN and we'll sure to have his again in the last book, his PoV wasn't exactly needed here. However, I thought that since the next book will probably won't see them much he wanted to give us a whole book on Percy, Annabeth and Percabeth to keep us going when HoH comes out.

It also bothers me that he's focusing so much on Percy and Annabeth once more. They're amongst my favorite characters along with Leo, Nico and Reyna but they had their series and instead of turning his attention to them once more he could start making some charactert development for the rest of the seven. You can clearly see who he's favoring in the series.

I don't like how we practically know nothing about the Romans. Think about it, we only know 7 Roman demigods: Jason, Hazel, Frank, Reyna, Octavian, Dakota and Gwen and three thrown names: Lary, Hank and the mysterious Bobby. We don't even know what godly parent Gwen has. Instead of focusing on the Roman of which we know almost nothing about he's focusing on the Greeks once more with adding new characters in camp and actually bothering to say from which godly parent they belong to.

We don't know what happens in the Wolf House, how exactly demigods are tested there before being allowed to join the legion (because srsly how would Lupa ever allow Frank to join is beyond me). We don't know if the eagles actually track down demigods and guide them to the Wolf House like satyrs guide them to CHB. The selection of cohorts was bladly explained and we still don't understand exactly what it takes to be in the first four cohorts. Like what exactly should you do to be in the fourth cohort instead of the fifth?

In the DD we had four stories all coming from the Greek side. Percabeth, Thaluke, Leo's story + Jasper and Haley's story. Couldn't he have written something for the Romans? It's called the Demigod Diaries not the Greek Diaries. Like a short story about Jason when he was back in camp or something? No? Really? More info on Percabeth and CHB? I liked the Luke one because we got a PoV of Luke and Haley's reminded me of PJO. The Percabeth story and Leo's were just for fanservice and where do you add that he messed up the time line again with the plot happening in Dec when that was impossible.

Maybe I'm just the only one upset with this but things are just so biased and unfair. We only have two books to go and we know so little about CJ and we have slim chances of getting any more info. I wanted only Roman demigods in HoH to feel like this series isn't: "Oh look it's the Greeks again and Jason, Frank and Hazel.". You can also see that in the way he paired the main heroes. Both Jason and Percy have Greek gf? Oh I'm sorry RR, I didn't know Roman girls weren't good enough to be with the heroes. Excuse me for ever thinking that you could be fair in this story.
