Imma repeat my earlier comment

I don't hate Fitz. He just doesn't get it. He's trying to preserve the remaining scraps of his family's prestige because he's seen how it affects his family and he's trying to protect his worldview. He's identified as part of a very noble family and Alvar's betrayal was a pretty big blow. I mean, how would you feel if your sibling was revealed to be a willing part of an organization that tortured your friends? An organization that is dedicated to eradicating humanity? I'd want to rip my sister's face off.

And the whole matchmaking thing..ugh. Fitz did not understand that being a bad match isn't actually that big of a deal to Sophie. It is in elven society - he'd essentially be a pariah. But it in truth, it doesn't matter and shouldn't matter.

His actions aren't justified, but they are understandable.
