A Brief Thing About the Character Index!

[inkasrain.livejournal.com]

This has probably been noted before, but I just wanted to make sure it was out there. If anyone has picked up the beautiful new versions of the books, I'm sure you've noticed the character index at the end. The index is aweome -- it's super thorough, and very detailed -- but it does contain spoilers for Thick As Thieves, so proceed with caution!

I'm afraid I read through the index before the warning went out, though I must be pretty dense, because none of it struck me as particularly spoilery. I've heard it said that ignorance is bliss...

I was going to make a post mentioning the same thing! I was super surprised about that, since publishers are usually so careful about avoiding spoiler in order to build up hype.

Oops, that was me! Thought I was logged in. :)

You'll understand how spoilery it is once you've read the book. It's that bad. XD

I found it very suprising that a publisher would release something that contains plot details for a book they haven't even published yet. Also, if you're reading the series for the first time, it also contains spoilers for the future books. They should've only included the characters that were present in TT for the index in TT and then added the new characters with each volume.

Maybe, that was just an oversite? Of course, the titles and summaries of future books cause the same amount of spoilers.

I thought so, too. I suppose it was for simplicity's sake--to include the same index in all the matching editions. But it made me sad to see the spoilery entries before TaT comes out.
