As far as Calypso goes, it actually made perfect sense to me. The curse works both ways; those that wash up on her island will fall in love with her while she falls for them. Then they are forced to part ways. Also, Calypso has been trapped on her island for 3000 years, but during that time she never thought about escape. Then Percy makes a promise to the gods that they will free all the peaceful Titans and she is still trapped. Now the thought of freedom is right in front of her face and she can't have it. That would make anyone mad.

Now lets look at Leo. His dream girl is one that is out of his league and can kick his butt. The Calypso that Percy met was probably a lot stronger then she looked, but she didn't act like she could break his spine if she wanted to. The Calypso Leo met however was angry and perfectly willing to through stuff at him when he got close. Way out of his league, check; could kick his butt, check. Technically Calypso's state was perfect for the two to become close and then have to part.

Also, the Nico thing was rushed and Hazel controlling the Mist seemed like a forced plot point. I also mention on the correct blog that all the enemies in this book were pushovers.
