I'm operating under the assumption that Annabeth's appearance in the first chapter is just a cameo appearance and that she won't be a main character or play an integral role in the plot. She might bookend the story by making a second brief appearance at the end.

Having Annabeth as a main character would turn the Magnus Chase books into just extensions of PJO/HoO, and not allow it to be it's own thing. I think that we the readers need to read Magnus Chase explore the nine realms of Viking mythology, forget about Olympus and Camp Half-Blood for a while.

I'm not talking about not a scene in which a character from another book makes a cameo appearances ( Drew and Lacy's appearance Serpent's shadow) and I'm not talking about lines that reference the fact that this all takes place in the same universe I'm talking about an actual crossover story.
