It doesn't mean Percy it better liked then Jason, it means that The Lost Hero isn't as good a story. I mean no one picked The Lightning Thief or The Sea of monsters. Introduction stories are hard after all. You have to introduce the reader to a whole new world, characters, and rules, meaning other things tend to not always fit.
