Percy Jackson Timeline

I just finished the mainline series the other day and the thing I keep thinking about is how much happened in such a short timeline overall. Especially in the final book, things really move along at such a quick pace. My executive dysfunction can't handle it.

The pacing is so fast for no reason. My man Percy really experienced trauma after trauma in a single month
- Not knowing anything about it: do you think such fast pacing is necessary for the story? I often get put out by it because it seems unrealistic, or a bit over the top
  
  Fast pacing is kind of a given in most YA books I think.
