I agree that their relationship has to improve by this point, especially on the way the book was ended. And, I mean, there is a complex relationship, but we get the book from Sophie's point of view, and she comments a lot on his appearence. There's nothing wrong with liking Fitz based on him being "handsome" since, Sophie doesn't just comment on that. She doesn't just like him for his appearence, she genuinely does think that he's sweet, as evident from their many "moments" throughout the books. (though, being attractive does kind of help).

I've actually made an argument before regarding the elves in general. See, it all depends on perspective. Us humans are more like...some are good looking, others are not, some are rich, some are not, some are kind, some are not. However, ALL elves are attractive and wealthy, so when you take that out of the criteria for Fitz, you're left with a sweet, compassionate guy who has trouble with keeping his emotions in check. NOT a golden boy who's perfect, as a lot of Sokeefe shippers seem to say.

If he were a human, then yes, I would agree with many people when they say that he is "perfect". But, since he's an elf, and all elves are beautiful and wealthy and talented, then I would say he is not as perfect as everyone says.
