I think it might be hard for Rick to write someone who's completely different than Percy. Rick would never do the main character a female, because he said he can't really relate to girls all that well. He has a similar background and personality (much more dark noticeable), but I think he will grow into his character. I think it's simple because Magnus is also a demigod so the beginning is gonna be some tragic backstory (dead mom, no father). I'm liking the direction of the story and the snark that comes from first POV again. I don't think we should judge on the first four chapters. except it's way better than all three kc books combined
