I love the Clarisse plotline SO MUCH. I desperately want the in-between book (or at least short-story) about Clarisse and Silena and Chris, all the relationships that Percy naturally does not notice or care about very much when they are building but that I DO.

To vom_marlowe's point, though - I do love the ladies of the series a great deal, but it did bother me towards the end that all of the positive goddess-figures appear as little girls, and all the adult/married/motherly goddesses (with the exception of virginal Athena) are unlikeable.
