I miss Percy too, but I liked being able to see how others see Percy. You get a better sense of that in Mark of Athena. I also really HATE Octavian. He just gets more obnoxious. I thought the stuffed animal sacrifices were silly too, especially with how bloodthirsty everyone is. Maybe that's why I can't wrap my head around how quickly everyone is jumping to go to war and I don't believe they actually want to kill each other.

Sadly House of Hades is still sitting there untouched...

Does Mark of Athena jump between six different narrators? I could see that getting really confusing, really fast.
