In PJO there were many loss. Luke, Silena, Charles, Michael, etc.. I didn't found any part in this book were I felt really emotionally touched. In PJO I DID felt it. In Luke's death scene. But here... It was all to childish, all to cheesy.

All too... Happy "And obviously Octavian doesn't count. He is the bad guy."

Luke, like Octavian, was the bad guy, so his death is equal in importance. The only other characters who died in TLO were side characters, same as the characters who died in BOO were side characters like Kinzie, Phoebe, Celyn, Naomi and all the other hunters/amazon warriors who died. At the end, Luke turned out to be the hero. Octavian didn't. He was SUPPOSED to die. Not like Luke, who actually sacrificed himself for everyone killing Kronos with him.

And the Amazons... Please! They only appear like two pages of the book. Not like Silena or Charles. Two minor characters that actually had dialogues, and did meaningful things in the story.

Kenzie, Phoebe, Celyn and Naomi were the first time they appeared in the series (I think so). They didn't do anything significant and just died. Like... BAM! Dead. Luke was going to die, he had the choice between dying for Kronos, the guy who was killing him, or dying and taking Kronos with him. Octavian died to kill Gaia, and he did play a part in her being destroyed. There is no way Octavian can be considered more of a bad guy than Luke.

Michael was only introduced in TLO. Silena and Charles we'd known since Sea of Monsters. So only two minor characters who died in TLO we'd actually met in previous books, and 1 we'd just met. We met four of the characters who Orion killed and they all had dialogue. Phoebe we met all the way back in The Titan's curse and Kinzie we met in Son of Neptune. So, like TLO, two minor characters who we'd known for multiple books, and 2 minor characters we'd only met in the last book.
