I think we'll still need time for the characters to develop a little. Alex is technically part of the Floor 19 crew, which are the least developed characters in the series. The storyline rather focuses on Magnus, Samirah, Hearthstone and Blitzen. And it was clear Riordan took more time developing Hearthstone and Samirah with this book. Alex wasn't even in that many scenes. I think we need to give them time. They'll surely be further developed in the next book.
