I thought that Gaea had a plan. I thought that RR set up the Giants were going to destroy the original Mt Olympus and Greece thus destroying the gods power at their roots. That's what was set up at the end of the Lost Hero. But this never pays off.

It seemed like Gaea's plan to destroy the gods in BoO relied completely on the 2nd demigod civil war going uninterrupted. This is really out of character for her; up until Blood of Olympus her strategy seemed pretty solid and the Giants seemed like a legit threat.
