Me too. I was positive it was Rachel even before that book. Not so much "it will be Rachel" actually, but rather that I knew if one character would die, it would be Rachel.
It might just be a trope--that the strong female makes it just to the end and dies--or that I couldn't see how KA would take her character after the war, which sucked because I would have loved to see Rachel's reaction to the media frenzy afterward.
It was often said by other characters that they couldn't imagine what Rachel would be like after the war, that she seemed to thrive on it...and that basically meant, to me, that she would die.
That said, before MM4 and TEC, I could have seen everyone living too. Maybe. But Rachel was always my bet for most likely to die.
