I think that some of you are looking at the bad side of the book only. The thing that matters most are the greatness of the book. The impeccable style of righting, the creativity, and the awesome ending to this magnificent series.

I know some of you may disagree with me, but every opinion is valid. You can't argue if someone has an opinion different from yours. It's just a way of thinking. Okay... Now. As many of you know, Piper & Jason were the most hated characters in the series (besides Octavian obviously). And many of you hate them even MORE after reading Bloood Of Olympus. Just because they "replaced" Percy & Annabeth and made them feel less. I have to admit, I didn't like them either. Piper was annoying and I was a bit jealous about Jason, because he was turning more powerful tan Percy. But after reading BoO, I realized they are not as bad as I thought. Yes, maybe Rick's idea of focusing the book more with Jason & Piper was not the right way to do it. But he as he said in the interview: "They needed love"

I think we're all saying things against them because of our instinct of defense. We are all defending Percy & Annabeth because, yes, they're our favorites! But that's not the right way to defend them. Saying Jason & Piper sucked and they made Percy & Annabeth look foolish is not right.

It seems that Rick failed with his plan. But we could just learn to appreciate every character in the series. No matter their powers, or the time we've known them. Also, why just defend Percy & Annabeth? What about Hazel & Frank? Why are we not fighting for them also as much as were fighting over Percy. This is a clear example of what I'm trying to say.

Hope you all understand. It's just an opinion. Think about it. Reflex a little. Why hate, when we can just accept.

Stay Awesome guys!
