A lot of people on here didn't like The Blood of Olympus, but I did. The final fight was a little disappointing. And the major thing that I didn't like about it was that neither Percy nor Annabeth had a POV. Well, I, for one, absolutely adore "The Blood of Olympus", and take no issue with their being no POVs from Percy and Annabeth.

After all, as Uncle Rick said himself, "The House of Hades" was the Percabeth book, in which they truly got to shine once more, more than ever before... In this book however, we received far more insight into Nico and Reyna's characters than ever before instead, which was more than enough compensation for me... Also, Percy and Annabeth took down the main villains in the first series, so it was about time for someone else to shine! :))) Lastly, Percy's main role in BoO was just that - to "face a sacrifice that he cannot make" by stepping down and allowing Jason, Piper and Leo to take up the final mission to destroy Gaea, something that Frank, with his sense of duty, helps him realize before it is too late... Had Percy not done so, (as Mars pointed out), the whole war would have gone sideways, with Gaea successfully destroying the world...

I don't hate The Blood of Olympus.I like it,but it didn't come out as good as I thought it will be.So many expectations,with only some coming true.There are several reasons why it wasn't very good.

1.Percy nor Annabeth didn't get a Pov.

2.The Final Battle was disappointing. I expected it to be longer and more intense.(Like in The House of Hades or The Last Olympian)But no,it was shorter and not that intense.

What I did like about the battle was Jason,Piper,Leo battling Gaea and The gods with their children. That is what I liked about The Final battle.Besides that,I didn't like it.

3.Piper's and Leo's Pov were disappointing.Their Pov's were really good in The House of Hades. But in this book,They were kind of boring,With the majority of the chapters ,fillers(Boring Fillers)and all.Their plot wasn't very good either.

I can't Believe what RR did with Leo.He was so good in the other books,but in this book,he became boring. Yes,he did have some good parts in his Pov. But,Besides that He Pov sucked.

Now Piper.Piper,Piper,Piper.I can't believe what RR did with Piper. For me, Her chapters were really good in The Lost Hero and The House of Hades.

But in this book,She was really boring. With very few good parts.These are the only Parts I actually like: 1.Percy damaging the Toilets.(That was awesome)

2.Piper talking to Reyna(It was really nice)

3.And The Best Percabeth Moment Ever.Percy saying "I love You" to Annabeth.

Besides that,Piper's Pov was boring

Besides this,The Blood of Olympus would've probably been My Favorite Book.Nico's ,Reyna's ,and Jason's Pov's Were really good.

If Percy and Annabeth took Piper's and Leo's Pov's, this would've been The best book.But it isn't.That is the truth.
