Can’t help but feel disappointed

at Arnel’s change. Sure it ‘makes sense’ with the story (because ‘I said so’ logic) but from a writing standpoint it seems like her character is just being made more conventionally attractive for the sake of being the “right” love interest to Bjorn.

I loved how unique she was before, and the duality of being both a woman and physically imposing. She kicked ass. She still does (clearly), but the choice cheapens her character to do this to her, imo. It reasserts that female characters are accessories that still need to fit into the lookism box.

    Don't worry, fans of the novel were outraged as well when Aynar lost her muscles, so the author eventually went back on his choice and Aynar got her muscles back. I haven't read the novel, so I don't know when she does, but she will eventually.

    If that’s the case I’m relieved. It would serve better as an arc than a permanent state. Big Arnel’s the best
