Hmm this book seems to have a lot of plot that needs to be filled, and Rick can either do this really well or really well not so good. In my opinion I really didn't like Son of Neptune and The Lost Hero as much as I liked Mark of Athena and House of Hades. Um so talking about the prophecy first:

"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,

Done and Done

To storm or fire, the world must fall,

So this one is one of the two with a lot of controversy. I seriously doubt that it's Leo and Jason....and more Greece verses Romans. Remember when Jason met Auster, and he asked him to choose so I believe it'll be either Greece or Roman. MEANING, it could either be between the camps....OR I think it may have something to do with the gods. Like either their Roman form or their Greek form will be the one who takes over their whole personality...it could also be either a Greek or a Roman Demigod. But yeah.

An oath to keep with a final breath,

Another controversy...I believe...and I know this will receive a lot of hate that it will be Hazel. I feel Frank will somehow perish...from his wooden stick, and Hazel will soon after...making them the TWO sacrifices.

OR it could be Leo and Calypso I feel Leo will die in order to free Calypso...but hopefully the gods will feel sorry and let him back in.

And foes bear arm to the Doors of Death."

This is already fulfilled I think...

Anyways next to the characters:

Percy:  Well, this is one of the characters who deserves a happy ending. I really hope he puts Gaia back to sleep and lives a nice life with Anabeth.

Anabeth: Same with Percy.

Leo: Leo is another character that doesn't seem like either useless or just not fun....He's really cool especially his humor and his plot with Calypso. I hope he and Calypso live a happy life too.

Piper: I don't hate any characters...but this person seems just there to like help develop Jason's character. She was cool in The Lost Hero...but now I mean especially with the fact that Hazel has a new ability she just seems there. I really hope she helps in BOO...she has potential that is fore sure.

Jason: I'm neutral toward Jason...he's fine, but I don't know I just think he's too far-fetched for anyone to connect to him. I like him, but if he died...which I doubt he will...it wouldn't kill me. I hope him and Percy like join forces to help stop Gaia.

Hazel:  I know people will disagree, but compared to Nico...so far Hazel has had an okay life as a Daughter of Hades. She's getting more powerful and it's fore sure that in HoH she had more role than like Jason, she was a definite main character. Which is why I believe she is on the cutting board. Rick made her extremely important...before he gets rid of her.

Frank:  Like Jason I just don't think many people connect to him...I'm still debating whether he'll die..his character has developed. He used to be someone without self-confidence..but now he's really someone. He's a big "if" and could go either directions.

Nico: Sigh..this character I feel the worst for...everyone who was ever nice to him, his sister, his mother, has died. His one person he might have liked is with someone else...I'm glad Hazel is alive for him...but I feel so bad for him. I know a lot of people would like to see him dead because they would think that is "better for him" but I don't knoW I would be HEART broken if that happened. This guy truely deserves a happy ending. Especially the fact that if Rick killed him that would serve the wrong message. Teamnico.

Reyna: Same with Nico except at a much smaller extent...I hope she has a happy ending.

Basic Plot:

I really think some other being like Gaia needs to help the Demigods to help defeat her...like Tarturus or someone...or I think Titans, Giants, Gods, and Demigods need to come together to defeat her..

I'm really just excited..
