Implied Percabeth sex = awesome xD

It is getting darker, but I'm not sure if I like it. I mean, don't get me wrong, I would LOVE it if this series just became darker and darker....but I'm also not fond of every character having a dark side. Does that make sense? How do I put it...Let's take Leo for a good example. When you're in someone else's POV, Leo is pretty freaking awesome. But when you're in Leo's POV, then he's all depressed, all the time! I mean, every half-blood has his or her own problems, even in the first series (Annabeth's family, "Smelly Gabe", etc) but they didn't spend every second of their "screen time" moping about it.

Rick probably figures "teenagers are into dark stuff at this age, right? I mean, everyone loved Nico! LET'S MAKE EM ALL EMO O____O" But it just becomes boring and repetitive after a while...
