I’m on Book 3 and Fitz has reached Jhaampe and they’re all heading off to the Mountains to find Verity.

I don’t get why Kettricken is so angry with Fitz. Hobb presents it as totally understandable with no real explanation and I have no idea why she’s so pissed off with him. I’ve either missed something or not understood something - can anyone explain please?

    I read this trilogy when I was a teen, and the one thing I took away from it was that Hobb really fucking hated Fitz.

      I’m only part way through the 3rd one but I have to agree. This third one in particular just seems like - how much shit can we pile on this lad before he breaks? It’s part of the reason I’m so confused about Kettricken’s anger at him. Yes, he’s been an idiot at times but he literally saved her life more than once. What’s she so angry about?

    It has been several years since I have read these, but if I recall correctly, he clarfies the reasons why later in the book.
