Annabeth and Percy wrote: I know! Percy was already "dialed down" in The Blood of Olympus? What more do you want? True, but you have to remember that Percy is too powerful. If Rick Riordan didn´t downplay his strength, Jason wouldn´t have a chance to shine. Look at The Last Olympian. Percy killed the majority of the monsters etc. Since Percy is too powerful, he had to (in some moments, like Clarrise killing the drakon) Downplay his strength so the others could get chance. You have to understand this. If you haven´t noticed, I too, was angry that Percy looked so weak. But I realized that Percy had to be downplayed so the others could get a chance. But who cares about the others? Percy was here first!
