Counter-Counter argument

1. You're right. He's not mad at Sophie- RIGHT NOW. But I think we can all agree that Fitz is a bit of an anger bomb. In the beginning of the book, we see Sophie disagree with him, and he gets a bit ticked off. We've seen it plenty in Exile. But here's the biggest kicker for me- When Fitz is angry at Keefe. Especially when it comes to Sophie- Keefe is accepting and supportive even with her and Fitz, while anytime Keefe and Sophie are together Fitz is jealous. Which is honestly unreasonable. And he's so bitter towards Keefe in flashback.

Fitz is the kind of person who needs someone to blame. And when he doesn't have one, he finds one. And we've seen time and time again how Fitz's blame is misdirected. I'm worried his blame might be misdirected towards Sophie soon- and we've seen from Exile how easy it is for him to do that.

2. I actually agree with that too. But I don't think they balance each other- I don't like how Sophie turns into a mushy pile of sappiness when she's around Fitz. For instance, Silveny's babies are dying and she's having to tell herself to stop thinking about Fitz. '''It doesn't feel like Sophie- and it doesn't feel real. ''' But that is a matter of opinion.

3. I think the short story made Fitzphie worse.

Fitz's last meaningful lines- "You keep forgetting that Sophie has major issues with matchmaking! I can't hand her crush cuffs and start talking about being hopefuls because it'll feel like I'm trying to pressure her into registering- and that's not cool! So... I'm trying to be careful- at least until she makes up her mind. And then, once she tells me she's registering- which obviously she will, because no one volunteers to be a bad match- then I'll tell her everything." "It's all going to work out."

Keefe- "Not the hero. Not the one taking charge of everything. Just a guy ready to listen and help and be there for her. A friend. Until she was ready for more."

Btw, @Panakesblossom, I love your username!
