I've been trying to reply to this blog since like forever but my posts always get too long and tedious so might as well just touch a few of the subjects.

Piper/Jason/Reyna - I'm starting not to care at all anymore. You know when you have to deal with silly kids who get obsessed over something you might as well just give them what they want and leave them be. Trying to explain to a Piper fangirl that her relationship with Jason is not sweet but insulting for her as a character since she's reduced to nothing more than the hero's gf is painful and time consuming. Thus, Piper and Jason can be together for all I care, the only thing that matters to me is that Reyna doesn't end up suffering too much and maybe get to date someone else (like awesome Leo). Seriously if Reyna/Leo does happen people will ask themselves: Jason/Piper who? They'll be so overshadow by the awesomeness of Reyna and Leo that most readers will just ignore their existence all together.

Reyna/Percy - Situations like these make you realize the difference between people who only read really popular teen books and people who obviously have some literature background. Reading between the lines is something that a kid will never be able to do because he/she obviously lacks the experience of reading all together. They see something and immediately jump to conclusions and logic be dammed! Thus, explaining to them that Reyna wasn't romantically interested in Percy but just wanted to sweeten the deal is like trying to get your cat to learn the tango. I'm pretty sure that RR will show in the MoA that Reyna clearly has feelings for Jason and not Percy so might as well not bother with this anymore.

C.C.'s island - I seriously have no idea but in the story of Odysseus time stopped on the island so I guess that means it's the same in RR's version. How old are Reyna and Hylla? I don't know but if you think about it's kind of annoying. I don't think that RR will turn them into the Roman version of Nico and Bianca or at least I really hope not.

Reyna's appearance - I suggest you go on DA and look for pictures with her, some artists there have really nailed her. Her "official" picture is inconsistent with Percy's description of her so I guess that's just the way the artist imagined Reyna. We're talking about the same guy who made Jason, Leo and Piper look like 11-12 year old. You do have another representation of her in Camp Jupiter's brochure, where she's holding to a spear, if you want another "official" drawing.
