I actually wrote a long essay on this series at the HU. It focuses on how much I hate Riordan's portrayal of femininity.

(I don't remember if I pimped it or not.)

Basically, I think that Riordan does let get girls have important parts, but only so long as they're not (traditionally) feminine. Once they become feminine, they end up betraying someone.
