I agree, but I want to add something---Luke and Kronos were better villains than the Gaea and the Giants, because at least they were killed someone. But, the main problem is, even some characters ended up dying- they were all minor characters, not the main ones. I think Riordan used this strategy to not to kill one of his main characters. We've met with Zoe and Bianca in the 3rd book, and in the same book, they both died. Their deaths was sad maybe, but we didn't know them longer and much, therefore, they weren't the main characters. Like, for example, their deaths can not be the same to Sirius's and Dobby's deaths. And when we take Silena and Charles, they were minors too. We've even barely knew them. And the other ones who died in the war, also minor characters- much minor, even. Kronos could've killed at least 30 people,  but Camp Half blood only lost 16 people. Yes, only 16. When Kronos's side were lost hundreds of demigods. And tell me this isn't BS. HoO....well, suck. And Rick wanted to us believe that the Giants and Gaea were actually real threats? Yeah, wait me to buy this crap.

You can not write a story like this, you're making fun of all your villains. Why all villains are like that suck? Seriously, I'm asking this. And not just the minor villains, they all suck, even the main villains, arc villains in the story. Without a single death, you can write a good story? Yeah, right. But not in the fantasy book, when there are villains like Gaea and the Giants around. Not when the supposedly big wars happening here and there. If none of the characters ended up dying, then it wouldn't be realistic and I think that the author is a coward and doesn't respect his/her villains and the real circumstances of war, and the threat of death and life situations. And killing only the minor characters is proves that author is coward x10 times, because the author is killing only the minor characters to avoid killing his/her main characters of the story.
