Ok guys, so I know you all hate piper. She was actualy pretty call in the first book but since then she's gone done hill and basicly been doing a rubbish job as a kind of 'relationship glue' as I'm sure RR invented her for. And honestly, it was my least favourite scene in what I really think is a heart breakingly terrible book when Piper defeats the ice lady with the power of love. It was the most cheesy thing I've ever read. I also think that as a pretty powerless demigod, she should have gotten hecate's magic power instead of Hazel because Hazel was much cooler before she got that power

But please, I beg for just some of you to re-read the first book and keep an open mind about piper in the tBoL because if RR suddenly makes her great again, you won't be able to see it unless your looking for it.

I also think that RR is hinting at roman + nico POVs in tBoL
