A lot of people on here didn't like The Blood of Olympus, but I did. The final fight was a little disappointing. And the major thing that I didn't like about it was that neither Percy nor Annabeth had a POV. Well, I, for one, absolutely adore "The Blood of Olympus", and take no issue with their being no POVs from Percy and Annabeth.

After all, as Uncle Rick said himself, "The House of Hades" was the Percabeth book, in which they truly got to shine once more, more than ever before... In this book however, we received far more insight into Nico and Reyna's characters than ever before instead, which was more than enough compensation for me... Also, Percy and Annabeth took down the main villains in the first series, so it was about time for someone else to shine! :))) Lastly, Percy's main role in BoO was just that - to "face a sacrifice that he cannot make" by stepping down and allowing Jason, Piper and Leo to take up the final mission to destroy Gaea, something that Frank, with his sense of duty, helps him realize before it is too late... Had Percy not done so, (as Mars pointed out), the whole war would have gone sideways, with Gaea successfully destroying the world...
