Your right. This is the best book in the series so far. At least for me. I love the narcissus echo scene to, and I think that its possible Rick Riordan will make an echo/leo thing, judging by the last few words in the chapter. I like the Leo/Reyna pairing, but I'm actually leaning towards the Leo/Hazel thing. Probably because the most interaction Frank and Hazel had was the arguement about dropping Leo. And because of that scene were Leo and Hazel were on the boulder together and were really close to eachother, probably because it reminds me of something like that happening to my boyfriend and I. Yeah, Hazel was just curious at first, but later on when they had the thing with the merhorses and she was acting slightly dissapointed when Leo told her he wouldn't cause trouble between Frank and Hazel. I think that Frank and Hazel will become cannon though, because R.R has the tendency to make the pairing the first one that comes up eg. Percy and Annabeth instead of Percy and Rachel. But thats just me.
