This week's debate contains spoilers for The Last Olympian and The Heroes of Olympus series.

This week, we're looking at an ongoing issue throughout both Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus: Calypso's curse.  After the first Titan War, Calypso was sentenced to live her immortality on the island of Ogygia, even though she never committed any crimes.  At the end of The Last Olympian, Percy demands that the gods release her, and they do, but she's never informed that she's free to leave Ogygia.  Later, Leo Valdez learns this and resents Percy Jackson for never checking in on Calypso, even though no man is fated to visit Ogygia twice.

Is Leo justified in feeling resentment toward Percy for this?  Why or why not?
