To be honest, this is my favorite cover in the series, and it's just right to include the three Romans.

1) Frank and Hazel are the only ones who are not shown in the covers 2) We forgot that the Heroes of Olympus series was actually created to introduce the Romans and their Mythology. And since Greek and Romans are usually associated with each other, Rick mixed them. But I feel like this series' purpose is to introduce the Romans. I was already expecting the Romans to get the spotlight in the last book. It's been all Greek. And there might even a chance we'll get Roman POVs + Nico, since MoA had all Greek POVs. Actually I was expecting all Romans in HoH. But ofcourse we wanted all of them narrate, since we need to know how will they react on the climax of the series. But 8 POVs will be hard to balance.

And acc. to Rick's twitter, they only show a maximum of three demigods in the HoO covers. But I was hoping a more war scene, which will include all of the Seven.

And I dont think there's anyone hanging in that tower. Maybe it's just a hook to lift things up. But if it was a person that is hanging, it would definitely be Leo, doing plans in Leo World.

And do you think the storm in the background means something? Like Jason is the storm in the prophecy, or maybe it symbolizes Camp Jupiter? And I think the fact that Jason's wearing a CHB shirt means he'll be going to CHB, if he survives (leader swap. hooray).
