Ampy's Farseer, Liveship & Tawny Man Thread (spoilers)

[o0Ampy0o]

Should Molly just sit around and stay faithful to a dead man? She spent a lot of time mourning.. and Fitz never expects to take Burrich's place. Honestly, I think you're over-thinking that scenario, or for some reason you feel Molly is being unfaithful.

Either way, getting his memories back from Girl-on-a-Dragon was extremely important to the story of Fitz being whole. The Molly thing was just a by product.

The trouble is that the topic of dealing with Burrich was not mentioned. You said how important having children with someone is yourself. After all of the introspection in the series all we see is Fitz wooing Molly and working on the children one by one as he attempts to see more of Molly. That was even treated in a lightweight manner seemingly to lay down a path to a happy ending.

The manner of Fitz becoming "whole" is a fantasy concept. Few people are whole after dramatic ups and downs in life. We carry wounds and scars. That is part of being adults. Fitz was literally beaten to death. He did not need those missing memories to live on. There are other ways to fill holes in a person where they become stronger human beings. That idea of making Fitz whole is an idea that could have been thrown in to work as a band-aid for other holes in the changed ending.
