Why does Rick Riordan have to make huge cliffhangers. So annoying. So much suspense. It's too hard to resist.  It is so hard to just stop thinking or reading his books.  I really do not have anything against cliffhangers, if any thing I like them.  "Why?!"  Well let me tell you and stop interrupting.

Reasons

1. They give me an excuse to keep reading the series or book.

2. They keep me in suspense

3. they make the book exciting

So I hope that you won't go flip out next time you read a cliffhanger or watch one or whatever, like I did with the Mark of Athena.
