Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-99.251.7.169-20191119011438/@comment-37645301-20191119024632

I like the way you think, this is a view I hadn't considered before. When you explain it like this, I understand a bit more where Fitz is coming from. But...

I think what really made me believe that Fitz and Sophie would never work out, was how Fitz behaved before the battle at the Dwavian city. His attidue was just...disappointing. As much as Fitz values openess with Sophie, the two of them only ever saw 'the best' in each other. Until Legacy.

Sophie has always been secritve. Exspecially when it comes to Fitz. She went through so much stress in this book in hopes of giving their relationship a chance. And I agree--Fitz should not have found out she was unmatchable the way he did (but come on that scene was hillarious). But we all read the past 7 books. Was anyone really surprised that Sophie was avoiding Fitz? Exspecially after his outburst in Flashbak? Fitz doesn't take bad news well. Sophie was afraid. And to be honest, if Keefe and Ro hadn't been there when Fitz first found out, I bet that conversation would have been ugly.

Fitz is not evil. But he expects more from Sophie than she can give. Not to step on any toes here, I know I'm on the Sofitz page, but I never saw Fitz and Sophie as a good, or even interesting couple. They just...lack any substance. I think both of them focused too much on how perfect they thought the other was, but were then unprepared for their flaws. They lack the mutal trust and unconditional care for each other that would make them a better couple.

I was proud of how they made up at the end of Legacy. Sophie does need Fitz. Just...not in way she orginally thought.
