Me when I read the Burning Maze:

Jason? Jason?! JAson?! JASON?! JASONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN?!

I loved Jason. We share the same birthday and he was awesome! Seriously? Piper broke up with him and he died?! What is this?

His death was the first one that Rick Riordan wrote that really made me feel the death and the rawness of it, though. The pressure of it, the threat of death everywhere for the demigods. I never really thought that I would see one of the main characters die. I always thought of them as the "untouchable" group. But Jason died, and in heat of the battle, and in desperate attempts to save his loved ones.

I respect him for that.

I love him, his character, his bravery and his strength, mentally and physically. But I doubt that he is coming back. Maybe it's better for him to die a heroic death and be loved and stay alive and be despised at.

The Burning Maze was the book I really, really loved. Apollo learned how it felt to be mortal, he even tried to commit suicide for the safety of his friends.

He will remember, and I respect that.

But, seriously, Uncle Rick?

Jason Grace will be loved by everyone in the Percy Jackson Fandom. Rest in peace
