However looking at The House of Hades, there doesn't seem to be any kind of concrete order to the narration. So the narration in The Blood of Olympus may operate the same way, having characters only have their narration as needed. This would allow certain events to happen to a character, even if it is not their narration. So for example, Piper most likely wouldn't die during her narration. That doesn't however mean that she wouldn't die in Jason or Leo's narration. It isn't like all other characters disappear during another characters narration after all.

There is also that one part of The Lost Hero when Leo pulls out a pack of breath mints during the end of his chapter, then in Jason's chapter he mentions Leo trying to defeat the forces of darkness with breath mints. The same thing could easily apply to a character's death, as not every character in media dies instantly. So Hazel for example could be stabbed and her chapter ends with her feeling a sharp pain run up her spine. Then the narration shifts to Frank seeing an enemy monster stab Hazel in the back.
