It's like there's something precious about having something before others. I'm sure I came across that way when I was teasing a bit for the past two releases, but that was good-natured and in line with my typical behavior Now that I rarely receive review copies from large SF/F publishers, can't say I miss it, as sometimes it's better to buy if I'm so inclined and not have even the remotest shadow of pressure on me.

In two weeks, those few posters will fade right back into the background, their opinions about books like this forgotten yet once again. Now if only people cared about my impressions of works that will be translated into English in the next 1-3 years!

But in regards to "spoilers": If plot revelations "ruin" a book for someone, then is that book truly worth reading? I would argue it isn't. As for AMoL, we'll see. At least the info seems more promising than what I expected, so perhaps I won't eviscerate too much
