I don't know why people are always so afraid of spoilers.
For me I hate spoilers, especially for a series I particularly like. It lessens the impact and makes you anticipate too much whats going to happen. Its like reading Lord of the Rings (LOTR Spoiler incoming.. but you probably know from seeing the movies) and seeing Gandalf die..in the book theres a huge section between his death and then Gandalf the White and it comes as a genuine surprise to you and the characters due to the way his reintroduction into the story is delivered (he's supposed to be Sarruman IIRC). This is when I read it young anyway, before the movies came out. Its things like these that make stories classics
I even don't like spoilers for mediocre movies, but thats just me I guess.
Hard to avoid spoilers on the internet though I guess. I've been meaning to read Books 2 of GOT for ages now because I wanted to read it before the tv series came out, had it for years but would never get around to it lol. This spoiler might not even take place until way into the books or even the last 1
