Who Said She Was An Apt Pupil - Tumblr Posts

thinking about how aleksander called Alina an apt pupil...and thinking about how Alina spent all of shadow and bone feeling stupid and kept belittling herself for being a slow learner when it came to all the grisha theory and controlling the light and how she carried that complex of thinking very little of her own intellectual capacity throughout the rest of the trilogy even though she made sm progress(up until the last battle)...and despite that or because of that perhaps, aleksander called her an apt pupil...

I just want to give proof of how the narrative treated Alina like she was witless
Through baghra's preaching is s&b and r&r
Through mal belittling her and basically cheating on her and telling her she didn't understand her own feelings
Through Zoya taking her boytoy in s&s
Through tolya and tamar not telling her about mals alcoholism
Through the apparat trying to control her
Through Nikolai trying to control her
But it's just aleksander
Who said she was an apt pupil
Someone plz agree with me here
Either there is something here
Or it's just another inconsistency with the trilogy
But nevertheless
My darklina heart persists
