But that's what I mean. In all thes years, we never see or hear about her learning about magic or practicing magic or even really using magic in the story unless it's to get from place to place. If her magic was going to be such a small part of the story and she was never really going to do anything with it, why even bother giving it to her?
That is why novel readers are kind of anxious, tbh. They changed a huge chunk of the plot and this Jeannette arc isn't supposed to be there, and Claude's recovery is either gonna be lukewarm or won't make sense because there were things supposed to happen first before that. I can't express my frustration properly without spoiling too much haha sorry bout that
I actually really don't like this development. Lucas pops up quite literally out of nowhere after being gone for like 30 chapters and now he's just gonna deus ex machina everything back to normal? Athy has powerful magic herself so why can't she be the one to give Claude his memories back? It would be way more interesting and meaningful that way but Athy only has strong magic when it's convenient for the story. Instead we have to have the man swoop in and save the helpless princess who doesn't know what to do.
