Just remember that Fitz is a teenager, and an orphan at that (he's got issues). He makes decisions like a teenager, and he's selfish/narrow viewpoint at times which makes you want to smack him sometimes, but IMO that's a very accurate representation of a teen.
I was the opposite, I liked them OK as a kid but didn't really like the ending, but loved them much more as an adult.
Althea's not nearly as woe-as-me as Fitz - I'd say she's a stronger character.
