Maybe he sacrificed Jake and Cassie's love. :) No actually, it would've been interesting to see that. That's another thing that bothers me about the Ellimist - his rules for what is and isn't interference are maddeningly unclear. Although pretty much every series I can think of with some kind of higher power has this problem.
See, I actually didn't mind the preselection TOO much, because it's a nice little deconstruction of the idea that six random teenagers just *happen* to each have the unique skills and family backgrounds that the story requires. Although as you were saying downthread, it's a bit of a downer for free will.
Yeah, that's true, better a clumsy contrivance that enables a satisfying story than a naturalistic storyline that's not interesting. Just sometimes KAA pushes it too far. (Does Tobias really have to be Elfangor's son? Was that wholly necessary? I mean, you already have Marco with his mother as Visser One! You have fulfilled your Luke-I-am-your-father quota, woman!)
