Your theory is interesting, Gleidson, but it doesn't seems to be in Rick Riordan style to kill more than half of his "team", as far as we saw of him in his part books. He's not a butcher, unlike GRRM. But I think at least one of them will die, and it wouldn't bother me if it was Jason or Frank. For unknown reasons, I have difficulties to like these two guys. :x I have finished House of Hades today and I kind saw real love in Percabeth. I always did, actually, but the way Annabeth treated Percy in the previous books. She was always being rude, while he was always trying to be gentle and do the correct thing.

I also liked Caleo, because, unlike Perlypso, Calypso fell for Leo not immediately, not because he was a hero, not because he was a great person. She fell for him for who he was, he was the one she learned to love.

This is just a kind of dream theory. I take back what I said of Hazel. After Pluto's appearance in House of Hades, I have nothing left to say... Just that I think Pluto is better good-looking than Hades.... Well, Jason, he can go easily for to the tomb, if it was my way. Frank as well. Riordan ind of distroyed his original personality when he gave in the bless of Ares (I'm sorry, I'm Brazilian, I didn't read the books in english, so this word is a shot in the dark). The huge and cute missfit Frank has gone and have place with an unknown Frank... A simply different Frank that I never saw and I don't like. He just feels like Clarisse, but I like Clarisse, because she was huge the whole time, it was who she was, but Frank simply turned into it just because he needed a snake... WTF??? You are right on everything but Frank. Hazel appeared to have the same concerns as you, as she was afraid that Frank is no longer shy and meek after the events that occurred in Venice, but she is reassured that he is still the same Frank. Frank says himself that he still feels the same. Though his personality does change slightly, it doesn't change enough to corrupt his humility and awkwardness.

But again, on everything else, you hit your points right on the dot.

And to User:Amarok1, Frank is one of the most relatable characters in the series for me, along with Leo. Jason is understandable to dislike, as even the other characters find him difficult to understand. But he has an interesting dilemma between Greek living and Roman living, which makes him more interesting as a character. But you are right about Riordan not being a "butcher".
