Guys . . .

Have you noticed that NO ONE has complained about the end of The Hidden Oracle?

No one is screaming.

No one is crying.

No one is bleeding.

No one is dying.

Why is CBG freaking out?

Because, cookie monsters, this is Rick Riordan we are talking about.

This guy:

Guys . . .

Why would he give us a year of happiness? Why would he let us prosper for a year? Why would he give us a year of hope?

He's planning something deadly.

Something horrible in the long run.

Our fictional characters are going to suffer.

I know it.

I'm scared.
