All right, I'm just going to put this out that Tam is severely overly underrated.

And Keefe is not.

This is common knowledge.

But has anyone else realized that Tam is such a fundemental character? He keeps the story going forward. TAM is the one who talks to Sophie at Exillium, and that's how she meets Linh. TAM hides their group from the ogres when they're raiding Ravagog. TAM moves the shadowvapor in Prentice's mind. TAM opens the portal to the secret room in the Elite Towers. TAM is the one who breaks Ruy's force fields when Ruy traps him and Fitz. TAM covers Sophie with shadows to help her find Alvar and her parents in both Nightfalls. TAM carries Sophie, Linh, and Keefe with telekinesis after they save Atlantis. (I could keep going, but I'm trying to keep this short.) And yet he barely gets any recognition!

On the other hand, Keefe goes with Sophie to pretty much everything. And yet he doesn't really do anything. If Keefe were to suddenly die, it wouldn't really change much. (Of course, I do not want Keefe to die, he had better stay alive!)

My point is, out of the two, I think Tam is the more productive character. Nothing against Keefe! But I do think he's sort of hogging the spotlight.

Okay, I'll go now.
