HoO was ruined by too much cheap humour. Now PJO also had a comic undercurrent but it had plenty of serious moments when required. When in the last book you could actually feel the stakes with people dying.

HoO ending was laughably bad. The Gaints were pathetic and seemed to be nerfed for cheap laughs. All that boasting from Gaia in vain; the Titans were more badass and did more damage. Kronos would've taken over Olympus if not for Luke.

HoO focussed more on SJWness and romance than telling a good story with high stakes. I can't agree more.
