Yeah but see, that's always gonna be a problem with HoL. I mean, he took a Percy Jackson fanbase, then gave them a book with a crap load of extra characters, Percy being a minor one, and then expected us to be happy with it. Don't get me wrong, it is WAY better than nothing, and it's not a bad series, but it will ALWAYS need more Percy Jackson. He's just never gonna give us more, and that makes me sad. We're never gonna bond with these characters like we already have with the Percy Jackson ones. I thought maybe with more books, but I'm not really feeling much love after three books :/ After three books I'm still just rushing through the chapters trying to find references to Percy or Annabeth or Camp Half-Blood, or reading their chapters. Even if he's not, I kinda want him to be the center of attention, you know?

^If tl;dr, then: I feel ya bro :/
