Yeah, you are not comparing at all, when you said this: I feel like Rick is trying to be more and more "Game of Thrones" 

A more logical and sensible thing would be mentioning Harry Potter, at least the target audience are the same; young adult, but morely, children. If you were mentioned HP, I would not say anything. But, wait, I would say a thing because HP's books are more darker and mature than the Riordan's books, BM included. At least HP kill it's characters, the characters we got to know more and managed to know well, and it has more darker and mature elements. Rick nor 'trying to be more and more GoT'- he is not even writing as HP, when it's about getting darker and mature.

And, BM is a little bit darker than the other books Riordan wrote, but i wouldn't say it really got mature or darker. It's just a little slight step up, and when it's a little bit and slight, I wouldn't call it more mature or darker. And yes, it still is for children.
