I think you missread the rules... Crackbrained Asha'man Send a noteboard - 21/09/2009 08:24:22 PM
The book does not go on sale until the 27th. I'm sure that ppl (if there actually are any, not sure of this) have been provided with advance copies they've also agreed to some sort of NDA. I dislike the thought of RAFO promoting the breaking of a NDA.
Besides, I think it will promote all kinds of faux nonesense. "Rand is a transvestite!" "Egwene kills Gawyn in a fit of rage!" etc etc. I don't think we need that either.



The posts are to be spoiler free only. Which means says things like 'Oh man it was awesome when Moiraine came back and balefired Cadsuane' are off limits. If anyone posts things that are clearly spoilers then the admins will delete it. I don't see anything wrong with post like 'the Rand chapters are really dark and depressing' or 'Egwene shows herself to be a strong chargacter and is far more likable than in most of the series'.

I do agree with you to a degree in that I don't think we'll get a wholelot more from the reviews than we've already got from Jason's and there's no really way to prove that the people writing the reviews actually have read an advanced copy, still it should be there for those who are interested I think.
