"(all achieved in an extremely short amount of time, mind you)"

Achieved after training for years. That first book has her training for years, and skims over most of the time in favour of showing a few highlights and adventures in detail.

It's like a talented young violinist getting dedicated daily lessons, for years, from the best fiddler in the world. Sure they might reach the limits of their skill early and never be more than "pretty good". But I would expect someone of talent, in those circumstances, to be as good as they can possibly be by the end of the apprenticeship.

... but still not the equal of the best fiddler in the world, right? Because that takes talent AND years of training, and even with a prodigy you're still lacking the years of experience to reach that level. This doesn't happen within the space of a few years, like it does in the series.
