 * What?* Well, this is so freaking dumb and an unnecessary comment, why did this scene was put in the book, I do not see. It's so discrepancy. I do not know what was Riordan thinking. btw, it's not funny at all. The examples you wrote is proves that it's so ridiculous. It's strange, really.

You know, the only thing I like about Alex is her being a diversity character, and that's all. But sadly, I do not think that she was handled well, I do not think that she was written well. When her character wasn't written well, I do not see the point of liking her. Because, I didn't manage to form attachment to her, and it's sad too because she is a character and I could've form attachment if she was written well. But she didn't, she was just used as a political statement rather than as a character, the only thing comes to my mind when I'm thinking Alex is her gender, I only think that she is genderfluid, and that's all. But, for example, when I'm thinking of Nico, his homosexuality is not the first or only thing that comes to my mind. When we are compared to them, it's really ridiculous and it proves that Alex was just written to be as a political statement. She is not written as a character who is an important individual for the plot and story.
