I don’t know if this even counts as foreshadow, but I think the whole matchmaking thing at the end of Flashback is foreshadow to Sokeefe. To begin with, the matchmaking concept in the elvin world is actually supposed to be viewed by us the readers as a negative thing, because it’s been shown to us how these lists can shame people for simply loving someone who wasn’t assigned to themselves, e.g Dex’s parents. So I think that the prejudice surrounding the matchmaking scrolls should be put under the same category as being shamed for being twins, or being shamed for not having an ability, because people who don’t end up with someone on their list is shamed for it. So for this reason, it really bothers me that Fitz cares so much about the scrolls, when he knows how harmful they can be to society. Keefe I don’t think has ever brought up the topic of matchmaking and all that stuff, whereas Fitz is always questioning Sophie as to when she’s getting her matchmaking list. We know how much Fitz cares about Sophie being on his list, so I think, that it was a hint from Shannon at the end of the book that Sophitz wasn’t gonna be official due to those final words (Sophie Foster is unmatchable). Another hint from Shannon is that Sophie and Fitz never announced their relationship in Flashback as official, and notice how they never kissed? Wouldn’t you think that when Sophie finally chose someone it would be this great amazing moment that we’ve all been expecting, with a kiss to seal it may I add? But that’s not how Sophitz happened, it was sudden, abrupt and had no real build up, as well as very little reaction shown from the other characters. It just felt meh. So I think that when a ship is truly canon we would know for sure, and there would be no room for doubt.
