To add to the above, it's kind of the norm here to spoiler everything, no matter how old.

If anything, I think you aren't supposed to post for books in spoiler period at all. There were some warnings about that back when RoW was new, though using at least the tag would be nice.

The spoiler period is ending in just a couple days so I'm letting it be here with a tag. Edited in a spoiler tag. Feel free to report untagged spoilers to the mods!
