In contrast, the Nico and Reyna POVs had zero cheesy moments which made them more likeable than the Seven.

One big complaint I have is how Percy's character was so badly ruined in the HoO. He is forever thinking about his relation with Annabeth, he seemed to take on some traits of Jason Grace; he doesn't use his powers so much and he is reduced to a minor passing character in the BoO.

Granted the series is not just about Percy, but that's no excuse to ruin a really great character.

If you ask me, Percy was much better before the HoO. Agree. Before, he was essentially my window into that world and the guy who wasn't making you like him but he was really likable. He wasn't JUUUST Percy as much as me represented by Percy in the story. It was fun. Now, it seems like ..idk just trying too hard to write him as a cool guy? He's lost the "seriously normal/flawed/sympathetic yet somehow I can't help but view him as the best" image.
