@Athenaiswise But Hazel and Frank have to die, it's been mentioned several times that he's going to die holding his lifestick, and have a short lifespan anyway, as a counter to his awesome powers. Hazel is living on borrowed time; she isn't supposed to be outside the Underworld, and a small act of kindness is the only thing that's keeping Hades and Thanatos from taking her back, as well as the knowledge that she's needed for the Prophecy. I've nothing against the darlings, in fact, I enjoy Frazel moreso than Percabeth and whatever-the-Hades-Piper-and-Jason are called, it's just fate.

As I said, Nico has to survive to avoid Rick being accused of [Bury Your Gays]. I actually enjoy Piper, just because she seems more 'real' than some of the other characters. Not every female is going to be a strong, intellectual badbutt. Sometimes women aren't the strong archetype everyone expects in modern literature. Sometimes they're weak, and that's okay, because not every girl is strong. Sure, she might have a 'gimme-gimme' attitude at times, and treat Jason like a god, but she's a teenager. And you know what teenagers do when they think they're in love? Idolize their significant other. Her dad's been gone ~80% of her life. That tends to mess kids up, having absent parents.

Assuming the Kane-HoO crossovers occur after the Blood of Olympus, then yes, Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl live.
