Xavier acted like a child throughout the entire book. As someone closer to Logan's age than Xavier's I was annoyed by him.
I was really hoping that Xavier would still go to Berlin, they could work on getting to know each other long-distance, while X worked towards his life-time goal; he could have still ended up in the Cove AND with L but I think I would have enjoyed the ending a lot more.
