So, I was looking at some lovely art by
of the latest Percy Jackson trio: Piper, Jason, and Leo.
And as I was reading through the comments I found a lot of complaints about Jason. Not her drawing of him, just his character. And I'm thinking: Am I the only one that liked him!?
Sure, he wasn't my favorite of the three, that's Piper hands down, but I actually really liked him!
One of the main complaints was that he's trying to be better than Percy. HELLO. He's never met Percy. Barely knows anything about him. Hell, he can't even remember his own name at the beginning of the book! I don't think in anyway he's try to be better than Percy. I just think in a sense he's the "Percy" of the Roman camp. He's a son of one of the three, has done a lot to help the camp, got chosen to do this whole switcharoo thing. Sound a bit familiar?
Goodness, can't the Roman camp have someone similar (but definitely not as awesome) as Percy?
Why do you have to hate on him? D:
