Okay, I admit, for a really long time, I couldn't stand Fitz. Then I realized it wasn't HIM that put me off- even when he goes into Anger Mode. What I don't like is how the other characters react to it, especially Sophie. I don't have the books on hand, so I can't quote anything, but I do remember that in Legacy, Sophie remembers how Fitz tried to drown Alvar in boiling liquid. She doesn't feel at ALL repulsed or even a little shaken, even though violence is supposedly a huge no-no for elves. Instead, she berates herself for not being there for him while he deals with the aftermath. Instances like this seem to happen a lot throughout the series, with other characters blaming themselves for Fitz's outbursts. No one seems to have the courage to stand up to him, and even if they did, they don't show any signs of WANTING to. Yet that's what Fitz needs, in my opinion- someone (personally, I vote for Marella) to finally tell him off and show him how toxic he often is. I think that would do a lot for his character development and, in the long run, reveal his sweet, caring side. -Novalie
