This is partly my argument--Keefe has changed SO MUCH for Sophie, but Fitz has been the same since Exile in the sense of his temper. He just seems to me like a....Keefe Lite, if that makes sense--the cheap, tasteless version of the good stuff. Fitz is just kinda stubborn and unwilling to change. Also, I feel like his character and personality are flat. I think the wording for "Keefe has changed SO MUCh for Sophie" confuses me. Mainly because I don't think you need to change for someone else. To me, Keefe hasn't really changed in personality, his mindset and thought process however, has obviously improved. Keefe is still the same sweet, kind, loyal guy he was at the beginning of the series. But I do somewhat agree with the Fitz situation. I want to counter the sentence of "Didn't Fitz want to take Sophie and leave the troll hive and leave everyone else" but I used that in one of my arguments so yeah. Anyways, it's obvious how much Fitz cares for Sophie, but imo, there's a way that SWM has written Fitz, it's kind of like, you're more inclined to prefer Keefe to Fitz. Keefe is given this deep, complex character with backstory and a reason to why he reacts in the way he does (sacrificing himself, making impuslve decisions), whereas Fitz is given the more shallow character and no reason as to why he might react with anger to situations which don't appeal to him. To be honest, I think they both care for Sophie a lot and thought Fitz may have a few moments where he has lashed out against everyone in anger, it's just the way he reacts, it's his nature. I know the quality of whatever this is, is poor but eh.
