Spoilers (obviously)

Sophie is at Alvar's Tribunal. Fitz is glad she's there

When it's decided Alvar will stay at Everglen for 6 months, Fitz is furious and runs off to a desert to practice battle skills. Sophie follows him there and he vents to her about Alvar.

The Neverseen attack and hurt Fitz and Sophie severely with Shadowflux (basically tangible shadows)

Sophie and Fitz are stuck in the Healing Center. For a long while Fitz is kept sedated for some reason while Sophie is wide awake. She keeps transmitting to him, not thinking it'd do anything, but he wakes up.

They basically just work on Cognate training. This pretty much just goes on for chapters and chapters and everything that happens is off-screen because they're stuck in the Healing Center.

They finally go home. Fitz transmits to Sophie every so often about how angry he is with Alvar.

Sophie worries so much about Fitz not liking her excuse of his prestigious family even though he ran away to the Black Swan with her, went to Exillium because of her and almost kissed her.

Fitz tells Sophie she's the only one he trusts. Despite her being oblivious literally to him almost kissing her, she takes THIS as him liking her.

Sophie ends up admitting to Fitz that she likes him, and they become a thing. Keefe is, eh, kinda disappointed? He never really shows it but, I'm sure he is.

She goes to the Matchmakers, but because no one knows who her parents are, she is labeled as "Unmatchable." The book ends here.

The short story is basically just Fitz talking to Biana about liking Sophie. You'd think this would be the perfect chance to have some scenes with Alvar, or just about anything that isn't the ship that was crammed down your throat the entire book, but nah.

I'm not against Sophitz at all, but this book just droned on and on about Sophie's crush. Before the attack, she's thinking about Fitz. While healing, she's thinking about Fitz. This book should just be renamed "Sophie and Fitz healing and then battle training."
