You're holding these situations too close to your heart.

Literally if you lived somewhere your *entire* life you wouldn't just decide everything needed to change after Not even spending a full year somewhere else.

And then you have to take into a count that the changes he wishes to make to Camp Jupiter don't work!

Camp-Halfblood is based on Greek Myths whose champions were solo heroes who went off and faced monsters alone or with a few allies which spoke the freedom and individuality of the Greek people and their belief system. Hell the most heroes that ever fought together were the fifty Argonauts or the smarteribg of heroes that joined with regular soldiers during the Trojan War.

Camp Jupiter is based on the belief in power in numbers, the strength of the people in the hands of the legion. Regimented control, team building and strength in numbers is what they exemplifies and honestly it works much better than what happens with Camp Half-blood. Greek Demigods until the end of HoO didn't usually live past their late twenties, but the Romans, the Romans get to grow old, have families, life in relative safety. Percy recognizes that and enjoys the possibilities but he doesn't want to change Camp Halfblood to be like that, he's fine with the way both camps are, he just wants them united.

And I didn't expect Jason to fall for Reyna, even though it would make more sense. I expected him to take her feelings into consideration and say one single sentence, "I'm sorry, but I don't have feelings for you."

Like Reyna gets the utter raw end of the stick...and that sucks to see.
