is it worth finishing? [hoo] [genuine question not hating]

I absolutely love the original PJO series, just finished re-reading it actually. But I'm just stuck on Heroes of Olympus. Lost Hero and Son of Neptune weren't bad. I thought Lost Hero was kind of slow, but really enjoyed SON. But I'm about halfway through Mark of Athena (on the part where Annabeth is in the sewer system. At least I think that's what it is) and I just can't get into it. I abandoned it a few months ago with the intention of coming back to it, but lost interest. I really want to read the series because it's gotten so much hype. I've heard the ending of MOA is great, but the rest of it has me in a slump.

Is MOA, and the whole series I guess, worth pushing through or is the fandom overhyping it?

edit: thank everyone for not telling me about the amazing "cliff hanger" that MOA ends on. i expected at least half the comments to say that

Favorite stories of all time?

I'm in a MrBallen rewatch/relisten phase right now and I want to know your favorite episodes. Title and number would be appreciated.

Personally, the episodes I found the most interesting were "He Was Inside Their Walls" (Danny LaPlante story), "Fire and Brimstone", "Clinical Lycanthropy", and "Where The Mangos Grow".
