I also think that Piper was fine in the first book. She would complain a lot, but I mean she just found out her mother was a goddess and her dad was kidnapped by a giant, who was trying to get her to lure her friends into a trap. So some leeway was given for her. She then never really appears in The Son of Neptune, so nothing to say there. However when she returned in The Mark of Athena, there was very little about her I liked. I mean she almost killed all her friends at one point. Heracles was like "If you contact your friends, I will kill you." Then at the end of the chapter, Piper USES AN IRIS MESSAGE TO TELL THEM HER PLAN!!! Heracles should have crushed them, but whatever. She also never really does much useful stuff, as her charm speak rarely works and aside from the water-thing she does with the nymphs, but then with the final battle with the twin giants she is removed from it. Then in The House of Hades, she beats Khione with love...just...*head-shake*
