Okay, some interesting takes on it here! Thanks :)
As for the twists, yes, I'm definitely going to work some in. For a start, the "chosen one" isn't the sort of person you would expect (i.e. she's not a goodie goodie), and she herself even highlights this fact in the story when she disbelieves her "destiny". Most of the characters are quite grey and the MC's morals are questionable. Depending on how you look at it, you could even paint the antagonist as the victim, and I want to address this play on perspectives in sequels. And then there are a few potential twists that I have in mind, so it won't end up being a straightforward "chosen one" plot by the time I'm finished.
I guess I could play around with how the plot is presented to the reader with redrafts. Either way, the last thing I want to do is make the reader feel like I'm being condescending by waiting until the end to reveal the obvious (unless I can make it less obvious).
