This felt so strongly like a book written for teens that the hard cut into x-rated sex scenes felt way too jarring.
I don’t understand how people who are fated can interact with so many people who are “unfated.” Prophecy and fate are mentioned so much and the plot hinges on the magic and mythos of this idea, but it makes no goddamn sense. I can tell that the author is deliberately holding back information on how fate actually works in this world, but the kernels we do get don’t seem to follow logically.
The characters say that “fated” just means your destiny is easier for the gods to predict. They also say that “unfated” are the only ones who can change their fate. How can someone who is “fated” interact with someone “unfated” without the unfated constantly fucking with the fated person’s fate? It stands to reason that if someone can be full Wild card, then the people around them could have their fate changed just by being near them.
In Mistborn, there’s an element that allows users to predict their opponent’s movement. The only way to counteract this element is for their opponent to also use it and nullify the effect. If there are too many options to predict, you can’t predict anything.
I used this interpretation for the “unfated” vs “fated” so I didn’t go insane listening to this book. It’s not explained at all explicitly, so this is the best I could reason about it.
