You have to be careful over there....oh well I am sure there are lots of other great surprises just waiting for you in Oathbringer! I have browse through the Reddit threads and I have not find anything which I would qualify as a spoiler (unless I missed them which is also a possibility), but some people are more sensitive than others on spoilers. The one place where people could have easily gotten spoiled was when we had The Thrill, it was really easy to get a few things without having read it, but this may not be what she is referring to.
Ammanas Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 @maxal I've actually been avoiding the reddit threads. Someone mentioned that a lot of people in Europe have already received copies of the book and there was some discussion over there. I'm almost positive that I got this information on the westeros forum so it could be wrong. Thanks for the clarification though.

Nothing really spoiler-y came out of those threads, IMHO, but it also depends on your personal sensitivity. It could be what I do not consider is a spoiler is a massive one for another reader. I have been TRYING to get to know if Adolin gets a satisfactory arc in OB because I was disappointed nothing really panned out for him in part 1 and I couldn't get it.
Subvisual Haze Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 I've actually read Oathbringer entirely (from a local bookstore that's going out of business soon). I have absolutely no clue what half these spoiler-free reactions refer to? Then again, I usually want to discuss books with others in a more cerebral manner instead of regurgitating a string of TVTropes lines. WOW CROWING MOMENT OF AWESOME [EMOTICON] I CAN'T EVEN Still though, Journey before destination in my opinion. I've never understood people's obsessive hatred towards even the most minor of "spoilers". If your enjoyment of a book can be completely ruined by one or two sentences, it seriously calls into question what you're actually getting out of the process of reading a book instead of just a plot synopsis. A really good book for me is the kind that I want to reread, even knowing how it will largely play out. In these books especially, there's just so much to unpack about the setting/history/lore/cosmere/magic, so much to enjoy in watching how the characters grow in interacting with one another and how they manage certain situations. 5

Book World? Three of them in my area are going away. It's... depressing. Good to hear that a lot of this is ambiguous.
Nymeros Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 HYPE I understand what Tor was doing and it worked. This just made me even more pumped. Apparently this is a pretty heavy book. 1
