Dropped mainly because of the inconsistency of Arinel's actions + how other people around her act that doesn't make sense and irritates me to no end. Like.. how many villagers are there? Just those 4? That's not a village. Where are the 100+ other people needed to call it a village?? I thought from the summary that a huge number of people vanished overnight (which is pretty impressive to sneak out so quietly) but no. It's 4 people. And Arinel doesn't find that strange at all.
Main example: Ch 14 The crown prince takes Arinel (his fiancee) for a stroll in the garden. They get attacked and Arinel protects him with new found powers. ... I'm sorry. The Crown Prince is alone in the garden with no bodyguards at all?? How unrealistic is that. Oh no, but the strongest bodyguard did show up... Late. I was expecting the crown prince to bust out some sick ass moves to show why he's allowed to be unprotected but no. Absolutely no one. And Arinel is all - I can't leave you here to die - I'll protect you! With what skills do you have? You're an adult in a kid's body? Use your goddamn brain - Scream, move away, don't be a sitting duck! Two moving targets are better than one. Argggh just argh. This stupid setup is just to show off her new powers. It completely pisses me off.
