My least favorite character in the entire Riordanverse is without a doubt Alex Freaking Fierro, and this is post-SotD might I add.

The whole introduction of her from Thor is far from endearing or charming in the eyes of certain readers, and she spends most of the book being a very abrasive jerk who’s about ready to start maiming folks who get her gender pronouns wrong (Including people on accident mind you, who would have no idea about her gender identity.), then Rick tries to fish for sympathy? Eeeeenope.

Even when Rick dials down that was problematic when it came to Alex, when HoT came out...SotD!Alex was a far more better character, because she was a person I could empathize with opposed to a political mouthpiece in Book 2.
