So everyone is saying this is after HoH, which I agree with, but RR doesn't seem like the guy to just say Percy and Annabeth survive in the end and the earth doesn't get destroyed by the earth (confusing right?) his books are usually not so straight forward, they always have twist and turns, he wouldn't just give away the ending of this book we've all been waiting for for the past 4 years. This is all so confusing.
