Wow. SoS is definitely the best book of RR. anyway I made an theory about the timeline and the next book.

we already know that Loki is trying to start Ragnarok, and he pulled his attention to Mjolnir. I think we should list the events happening in Ragnarok so we may know what the hammer is connected.

Basically that's what happens very nearly before Ragnarok:

1.Skol and Hati (two sons of Fenrir) will eat the moon god and the sun goddess.

2.Three Chickens will call the armies - one the gods, one the dead and one the giants.

3.Loki will be free and lead the ship Naglafar. Jormungand get out from the sea.

the Ragnarok itself:

1.Fenrir freed. he eat Odin whole, yet one of Odin's sons kill him.

2.Jormungand and Thor kill each other.

3.Frey will fight Surt and will lose.

4.Heimdal and Loki kill each other.

5.Tyr and Garm kill each other.

6.Surt burns the Nine worlds.

I think Loki somehow stealed Mjolnir and going to announce it so the Giants would not fear to attack(remember what Thor said about they fear him). I am confused about Annabeth's role in the series. what an awesome ending but does she related to the Norse World? Frey say she will help Magnus before it all end.

now about the timeline of the series. the days Freya mentioned match 2014, which mean Annabeth is twenty years old. it is impossible because of two reasons:

1.Magnus said he met her 10 years ago and she was first grade (if it is 2014, she would have been in 2004 10 years old.impossible)

2.Annabeth run from her house at the age of seven, and she didn't meet Magnus until Randolph called her. if it is 2014 it means that she didn't seen Magnus at least 13 years. also impossible.

there is four options what actually the timeline.

1.Annabeth frozen in time (maybe Hunters of Artemis?) and she stayed 17 for three years.

2.it is 2011 and it is only coincidence it matched 2014.

3.Magnus is confused and she really didn't seen him 13 years. Unlikely.

4.Rick Riordan is trying to move the entire series forward (which mean that HoO is in 2013. also unlikely.)

I believe that the second option is right.

what do you think?
