Keefe will always be the champion in my eyes, and not much is going to change that.

But let’s talk about Fitz. To be honest, at first I didn’t like him. Not because he was perfect, but because when I looked at him in the first couple of books, I could see no defining personality trait. Besides that period of anger in Exile. And here’s the thing-that was a character flaw and yes, all characters have one. He needed that flaw. But later in the series the anger became less of a flaw and more of a problem. And now... I don’t even dislike his character. I kind of pity him. I feel like Shannon is trying to give him some sort of personality, but it sure isn’t a flattering one. He’s become this angry, almost abusive person, and I can’t help but feel sorry for him. I believe that his character should not have taken that arc, because now it’s no longer a flaw- it’s a problem that will end up with a lot of the characters hurt, and leave me wincing at his words. If you asked me to describe him, I’m sorry but the best I could probably come up with is ‘angry’. Because so far, that’s all I’ve seen him been.
