Annabeth is like the London Symphony Orchestra playing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2 well with all the emotion and depth attributed to the piece. Meanwhile Piper is like a band of 8 year old children trying desperately to play Mahler's Quartet for Piano and Strings in A Minor but sounding like someone decided to take a sledgehammer and slam it full force into someone's family jewels while scraping fingernails on a chalkboard. Over and over and over again. From the moment she started spewing meaningless trash from her mouth, she was already dead to me. Quite honestly, I could not see how it was possible for one person to deliver so much oral detritus in one book, let alone five. She is obsessed with Jason and because of it, we have to suffer through chapter after chapter. Oh, Jason forgot me. Oh, Jason doesn't like me anymore. Oh, Jason and I have to restart. Oh, Jason is my only priority. Good grief, she makes the generic stereotype of a manga girl look less cringy by far.She is also a dangerous liability to the group, she only cares about Jason and even thought about letting Jason win against Percy when the two boys were possessed by Eidolons. I mean, really? Annoying is not even the start of describing her. The only worthwhile thing she says is when she uses Charmspeak, and thank God, that is only in moderation.

On the other hand at least Leo provides some the morale for the group. As bad as he with jokes, they at least appreciate him trying. He can fix nearly any device, can use fire, and is the very image of ingenuity itself. You tell me, how's that bad?
