Hard to believe so many folks dislike Fitz? I mean you I understand it's not like he's the main character or anything...
..Fitz is flawed as are many of the characters. Sure you find yourself at times going...calm down. Tell Patience you're alive, Tell Burrich you're alive but most of his flaws have their origins in good intentions. I think he's a wonderful character. I feel like character's development is a little hamfisted in Tawny Man as compared to Farseer...but hey...who am I...just a reader. I think Night Eyes really helped the Fitz character in terms of fullness. I was broken hearted to lose Night Eyes...really.
I think Verity is a great character. I even think Will was a great character. Whether the characters were actually good or bad is irrelevant. As evil and cruel as Regal was...after a time you could almost understand why.

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
