Piper scores positive for independent traits 2 (second bit), 3 (partly, Piper still appears disturbed by nightmares of Gaia despite being written as "brave"), 4, 5, 7 (partly, gossiping with Hazel) and that's pretty much it.

The overall description is well off the mark. Ironically, it would probably make her a more interesting, less cliche character. Has Piper lied to anyone else on the quest without being compelled to do so? Her POVs do lack depth or emotion to me, because there was shortcomings with that aspect of the writing. Exactly. This is why the Lost Hero was a VERY sub-par book to me due to a lot of mediocre characters, especially Piper and Leo.

I don't whether I should buy the Dark Prophecy or not due to the latter being a main character.
