In TLH, Piper and Jason's relationship is explored over a single book and they date for the rest of the series so far. We also see Leo as a good friend to the two of them and how he reacts to Festus, who he can't fix but desperately wants to.

While you are right about the original series exploring Percabeth during the 5 books, at the start of the series they were 12. A bit young to date, don't you think? Jason and Piper had fake memories of having dated and were older.

I haven't finished the Lost Hero, so I won't say which book is better
