foreshadowing done well makes me go feral like there’s NOTHING better than getting to the end a book or an important storyline moment and realising that the author laced information so intricately into their writing that weren’t noticeable upon first read but when you read back sections they’re light giant red flags like wow writing is amazing
My favorite moment is the split second where it clicks and you really didn’t see it coming but you look back and all the hints and clues are there, the whole book has been leading you to this inevitable conclusion. You had some vague idea but you wouldn’t have guessed This.
this is infinitely better than just suddenly having a twist out of nowhere for the sake of having a twist
