For me this was one of the worst cliffhangers in the world that meaning the end of this book sucked so bad i mean rick riordan leaving the end of the book with annabeth and percy falling into tartures


Leah a literal cliffhanger


ranya He is a skilled writer... but seriously! I have to read the next book!


Elena see i felt that it wasn't much of a cliffhanger at all. the fact is that we all kno percy and annabeth will be ok in the end so im not worried, if it was anyone else other than nico i would be tho


Kathy ♡ It was his biggest cliffhanger of all. But it does make you wanna read the next book even more! :)

It's killing me.


Cassie To me it was like a rose: beautiful, but it stabbed me, but in the heart. It was bittersweet. It was one of the best Percabeth moments, but an awful cliffhanger.

C.R. Actually I don't mind this cliff hanger. When compared to the one when Percy and Annabeth were about to meet this is nothing. At least their together, that's all I care about. Now if it was just Annabeth falling or just Percy, I would've screamed O di immortals!! again and again until I lost my voice. But I really don't mind this cliff hanger. They're together and that's all that matters. :) And plus it was so sweet when Percy let go I was like 'Yup 100 points for Percy Jackson!' Okay I want my boyfriend to be willing to plunge into Tarturus with me just so that we wouldn't be seperated. Anyone else with me?

Emily Ann I thoght Percy was the only one that was going to fall and then Annabeth fell too cool

M.J. Capulet I DIED. :( The ending was tragically beautiful. Rick Riordan is a madman and a genius.


ErikΔ Well, it had to be somebody.......... And who better than Percy and Annabeth.
I'm okay about it. Really. I mean at least their together :) Percabeth all the way.
We know that they're okay. Rick said so and if they weren't then the story wouldn't go anywhere........
I'm just bummed that its like a big cliffhanger.... Actually I'm used to it :)
Ugh I am un-boring myself w/ other books until "The House Of Hades"

I so agree with you!!! Rick amazingly showed how much Annabeth means to Percy and vise versa :D Its was so so so sweet......... Its just like this quote
"When you're down I may not be able to pick you back up, but I promise I'll be willing to lay down right next to you."
But I think of it as...
"When you're falling I may not be able to pick you up, but I promise to be willing to fall down with you"
Percabeth!!!!!!! :)

Year and October 2013 to October 2014 will be also.
There are five books in the series...
Sigh, wish he would have wrote them all first, and then publish it.
But no, he must torture us...

Well, Rick Riordan is a known troll. Remember then end of Sea of Monsters? And of course Son of Neptune? I think he likes to spend time reading about us spazzing out about the next book...


♪♫Gloria♫♪ 4 short words: It. Tore. Me. Apart.


Emily Ann One word. EVIL

Zombies no!!!


But really i loved this ending.


Ashley it fucking sucks. I mean, first off Piper told Jason she loved him and there was NO response.
And then, NOOO PERCYBETH!!!! My feels were ALL over the place after reading that.
Oh, and Hazel and Leo aren't together. So my ships aren't sailing -_-

Totally! Nonetheless, can't wait for the next book!

I completely totally agree. I didn't mind it much, it wasn't his biggest cliffhanger either because, well, they're together. I could wait, but I know that I want to read it, but not because of the cliffhanger. I think it bugs me more that the cliffhanger isn't driving me insane.


message 33: by Emma (new) - rated it 4 stars

Emma Hannah I'm very afraid for Percy and Annabeth, but I believe they will be okay. They have all their friends going after them, and Hey, THEY ARE VERY SKILLED FIGHTERS! Just wondering how they will survive for so long. Lastly, like so many people said, A LITERAL CLIFFHANGER!


Sarel Boshoff I don't think this cliffhanger is bothering us half as much as it is bothering Rick. He's challenged himself with this ending,by creating a whole lot of hype and excitement. If he doesn't live up to it in the next one (even if it is a good book) it could lead to disappointment for his fans.(luckily not me, I'm a die hard Percy Jackson fan)


message 35: by Tess (new) - rated it 5 stars

Tess The only way he could have made it a bigger cliffhanger is if he ended the book before the last chapter. Oh my gosh i NEED the House of Hades, like now. How in the world did they survive that anyway? They fell into Tartarus for goodness sake. And if that didn't kill them, then the rock crushing them sure should have done the trick. I'm not saying i doubt Nico, but it seems very unlikely their alive. Plus, to add to the bad news, there are monsters waiting at the bottom prepared to take them to Geia and sacrifice them to wake her up. And Annabeth has a broken foot AND she doesn't have her dagger. so yeah. pretty much the craziest cliffhanger ever.


Emily Ann death destruction mayhem i live for it

Morgan I don't know about you guys but I cried. It was sad.:(
The cliffhanger was almost unbearable. I mean, what happens to Percy and Annabeth? It was almost like a tragic love story. I really don't want to have to wait 9 months until the next book to finally find out but I guess that's something we all have to endure.
