What really sold the book for me though was the Annabeth POV. I was so happy to see things from her perspective. She just became so much more real when I saw things from her POV in the book. More than HoH, I enjoyed her POV in this book. I agree, but I'm guessing you were still annoyed with the Piper POVs, and you have to admit that the whole boyfriend and girlfriend stuff did feel force up your face at times. Not saying it's bad, I loved the book, but it's just that flaws like those is why I think HoH is a little better than MoA As far as "in your face romance" goes, HoH was a hundred times worse than MoA. Percabeth were always talking about each, thinking of each other, kissing each other billions of times etc. Annabeth and Percy were nearly as bad as Jason and Piper. In MoA, it's kept to realistic proportions. But with the whole Percabeth thing in Tartarus, I thought it was neccesary because they need each others comfort. And with Jason and Piper. . . it was just them being Jason and Piper, so I give you a point for that, and speaking of Piper, she only had one POV in HoH, so that's really, really good. Much better than in MoA, which was when Piper was at her worst. Percy is unimpressive blah, blah, blah, especially next to Jason BLAH, BLAH ,BLAH! But in MoA, the whole romance thing was crazy! Annabeth and Piper. . . even at a serious and life threatening situation would randomly bring up either Percy or Jason for basically no reason. The whole romance thing in MoA was at times cute, but at times was shoved up your ass.
