In Alex's world, there are two types of prophecies--those that can be changed, and those that will happen no matter what.

My favorite seer character in recent books is Nix in Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series. Nix is a meddler, but those that know about her, always listen! Kresley also states that she can't see the deaths of her sisters -- self preservation of the mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102666521635300962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5065996352862914485.post-85800985708749671452013-02-11T10:47:05.841-05:002013-02-11T10:47:05.841-05:00Awesome perspective!

Mine is partly the things that are out of control, but in general if you stop to think about it, if the future can be changed by being able to see it prior to happening, that means with each change there are millions of other possible out comes and changes that can be made. It's an infinite loop of possibilities until the time and place has been achieved.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102666521635300962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5065996352862914485.post-8334219554501245592013-02-11T09:14:41.768-05:002013-02-11T09:14:41.768-05:00I agree completely.
