1.The House of Hades - I KNEW IT, NICO. I KNEW IT ALL ALONG. The only bad part about this book is Piper controlling Festus to beat Khione. Bleh, Khione deserved better, but then all the villains in the second series got the short end of the stick in the end. Only Octavian's final confrontation was good.

2.The Mark of Athena - Annabeth FINALLY got some development. She was a damsel in distress until this one, only a tomboyish one, so people liked her for some reason. The twin giants and Arachne were great. Again, Piper is the only bad part.

3.The Lost Hero - Introduced the new 3 characters, out which only Leo was good. Jason is ok, but Piper is the worst character in any of the 3 series (Seriously, Drew, Octavian and even freakin' Hera are all better). Khione, whom I've mentioned before, was a great villain, and should have been the Luke Castellan of the series.

4.The Blood of Olympus - It gets more hate than it should. Yes, Percy didn't have amazing Percy moments, but he stopped being the main character 5 books ago, so quit whining. The one thing I agree with about the hate it gets is the damn ending... Gaea...who was pretty much confirmed to be stronger than everything else in existence put together... was lifted up, put to sleep and blown up by a missile (Idk what onagers fire). The best part is the Reyna-Nico-Hedge adventure, which is probably the best quest in any Riordan book.

5.The Son of Neptune - I never read Riordan's books because of Percy, so a book where Percy is the only character made to matter, with everyone else being flat (Frank and Hazel flesh out later on, but in this book, they're basically just random NPCs Percy teamed up with to beat the level). The giants were major disappointments. Encealadus, who was said to be small for a giant, was absolutely owning Piper, Leo and Jason, but Percy, Frank and Hazel easily beat 2 much bigger, stronger giants? Pitiful.
