Let's be honest, Batty was a side character until book four, it wouldn't feel like Birdsall was trying to get her out of the way like it did with Skye. You can't expect the same level of affection we have towards Jeffrey to automatically be transferred to a brand new character simply because we're told that Skye likes him better than Jeffrey. Why Birdsall wrote their relationship like this only to split them up is beyond me, but the entire thing feels forced and unnatural. Jeffrey has SO MUCH (more) personality (than Dùšek), and a huge connection with Skye - an incredible friendship through the whole series, and they're constantly there for each other. It read more like a Baffrey fan fic and less like a series finale. It felt forced to bring in a brand new character in the very last book, to marry off Skye. I kept getting the feeling that Dùšek was introduced simply to get Skye out of the way so that Batty could marry Jeffrey. You don't know anything about him, how he and Skye met, or how (perhaps why) they got together.only that he's from the Czech Republic and has four siblings.
