Annabeth and Percy, POV is actually important to the novel if you want to capture the certain feel of everything, I believe that Rick's choice of POV was interesting and engrossing those types of POVS made me more interested in the new characters, also if it was first person it would get a bit confusing as to who is narrating. And it isn't really third person, it is told like a first person POV but focusing on one specific person each chapter and expresses the persons thoughts.
