User blog:AlchemieFyre/Jason Grace

I was once a dedicated Riordan reader, swearing he was my favorite and the best out there.

I have recently been deeply regretting my words, taking them back as soon as I can.

Riordan has killed off Jason Grace in the Burning Maze, the third installment of the Trials of Apollo series, and I hate it. Jason wasn't perfect, but he was a great character that deserved so much better, so much more. He deserved a life with Piper, deserved to be able to live his dream of telling his grandchildren about what he'd done as a young man to save the world from Gaea, whether they believed him or not. He did not deserve to die at the hand of Caligula, or at the hand of any. He should have lived out his life.

And if Riordan tries to TOUCH Percy or any more of the Seven, he is digging himself a hole he won't be able to get out of. I don't care if I'm told to face it. None of the Seven should have been touched, should not have to even have the thought of dying put into the mind of Riordan.

Jasper will always be there for all of us who truly love them.

Long live Jason Grace. May you find Elysium a good home, Hero.
