As far as the POVs go, it would have been possible to give everyone a POV. During the second half of the series, Rick started using more POVs, but some characters had more or less based on their plot importance. For example Piper in HoH only had 4 chapters in her POV. BoO could have easily included maybe one or two chapters for those that didn't have one. This also becomes especially painful when you do a breakdown of how many chapters everyone has had...which I just did:

Jason:   20+00+00+08+12=40 Leo:     18+00+13+08+09=48 Piper:   18+00+12+04+09=43 Percy:   00+20+12+18+00=50 Hazel:   00+17+00+12+00=29 Frank:   00+16+00+08+00=24 Annabeth: 00+00+15+20+00=35

Reyna:   00+00+00+00+12=12 Nico:    00+00+00+00+16=16

So after seeing this, it somewhat becomes obvious who the favorites are. Annabeth does have fewer chapters, but at the same time she wasn't introduced as one of the seven until The Mark of Athena, the half way point of the series. However looking at Hazel and Frank, it is sad to see them somewhat ignored; having almost half as many chapters as most of the other characters. There is no reason they couldn't have had at least one or two chapters in the final book to do something.
