It's funny. Predictability is a odd beast. I have some of my female readers mad at me because one of my characters got in to a relationship with the wrong character. I was told that ANYONE could CLEARLY see that character A really loved character B and should have married her instead of character C. So in a sense they were upset with the fact it was not predictable enough? Of course, I personally can not see what they mean... but who am I to talk, I am just the author.
