I feel like Rick Riordan's whole "this isn't Percy's story anymore" was quite sudden. He obviously reintroduced him in Son of Neptune to get people on board, and then - boom - all of a sudden he's a minor character. Before he was "the most powerful demigod", the one Gaea wanted to sacrifice the most, etc., etc., but - oh wait a minute - everyone else is more important now. (yes, I'm a little bitter)
