For me with Piper at least, he kept trying to get me to like Piper by giving her powers that in context don't make much sense and felt very forced by the time they were over. Not to mention that by the final book, Piper and Jason almost forced every other character (besides Leo) to the sidelines and put them in the supporting role category. Aside from being helpless in certain fights, I couldn't tell you anything Annabeth, Frank, Percy, or Hazel actually did because Jason, Piper, and Leo took over the entire book (excluding the Reyna and Nico parts, which I liked over the other chapters). The funny thing is I liked Piper in the first book and felt she got worse as the series progressed and I always felt neutral for Jason as there wasn't anything to like or dislike about him until the last book, pushing him more toward dislike.
