Not a hot take. If you read Realm of the Elderlings when you are young, you’re screwed.
Nothing comes close to that level of character depth in such a rich fantasy setting.

When I first started reading rote my first theory/thought it was being hinted at was that burrich had a big dumb crush on chivalry but was crazy in denial and him suppressing his wit was a metaphor for it

I have never read something as satisfying as Burrich beating the absolute shit out of Galen and I know afterwards Fitz stated he felt no satisfaction from seeing the bruises Galen had but I certainly did LMFAOO

I'm only halfway through Assassin's Apprentice so I feel like this is probably going to be "oh you know nothing nonnie" but currently but I think it's really interesting just how much Chivalry overshadows the narrative? Like he wasn't there at all and then he dies, he never appears on page, but he's still such a present character who impacts so much going on both with court politics and with Fitz's own character arc and storyline
Chivalry’s ghost is a main character in the entire series. #1 haunter of the narrative. I mean Fitz’s name literally just means son of Chivalry

"I'm sorry," I said hastily. "I didn't mean to intrude. I was looking for you, and I was so hot, and the door wasn't latched, so I went in. I didn't mean to pry."
His back was to me and he didn't turn around as he asked
"And did you find it amusing?"
I could not think of anything to say, of any way to assure him that what I had seen there would stay only within my own mind. He took two steps and was closing the door. I blurted,
"It made me wish there were a place as much me as that place is you. A place I would keep as secret.”
