No, I totally agree. I think that their relationship was REALLY over the top. Don't get me wrong, I love Percabeth, with all my heart. But the allure to me was the fact that THEY COULD KEEP THEIR EMOTIONS IN CHECK WHILE WORKING AS A TEAM. It's awesome how they know each other's own fighting styles and could be like, 'yeah, let's do this!' and THEN make out. (I'm referencing the Demigod Diaries) I just couldn't stand how Annabeth was super...girly. I was about to just slam my head against the book. I mean, maybe like three kisses or something throughout the whole book would have been okay (the reunion, the stables and while in Rome) but for her to do that EVERY SINGLE TIME they got off the boat...no. No. Just stop. I totally get it. They've known each other since they were kids, so it makes it incredibly adorable to me, but PLEASE downplay the raging hormones. Seriously Uncle Rick, please stop.
