OBVIOUS SPOILERS BELOW. Please use spoiler tags for any details.
I get a lot of satisfaction out of predicting major plot twists long before they occur. I want to hear about what twists you predicted, and especially what clued you in! Doesn’t matter if it’s a well written twist or not. Sometimes it’s even more satisfying to pick up a less well written book but call every single plot point.
For example, I just finished reading The Bird and the Sword. Can’t really recommend it because it was so predictable, but I felt compelled to keep reading just to prove I was right. The heroine lives in a world with magic where, among other things, people can change into animals. She helps soothe an injured eagle. Shortly after, she finds out the king is suffering some kind of mysterious illness and she helps soothe him. Okay, obviously the king is the eagle. Then a princess who seems nice takes a strange interest in the king’s brother. Obviously trying to position herself to take the throne. Then we find out the previous evil king died but his body was never found. He’s obviously the mysterious evil guy commanding an army of evil monsters.
