Would it be bad/impossible for a character list from an advance reader?

IE who shows up...doesn't even have to be in order...and maybe only in Points of view not in actual scenes.

Any tidbit will do for me.

What I do not know fills many more volumes than what I do know.

I feel you, and was thinking the same thing. But then I also started thinking it might be too much like spoilers. Example, what if Caladan Brood has just an awesomely badass and impossible to see coming entrance in tCG? Seems to me that knowing in advance that he's going to show up would be a detriment to the potential magnitude of that scene on the first read.

I know it's iffy (and IMO chances are slim any advance reader here will post it) but if such a list was put up, I'd want it spoiler tagged. As much as I want to know any tidbit, I also want the ensuing mindblowing to be as total as it possibly can.

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Nice try. But come on, man. . .

SE himself asked that no spoilers be revealed in any review for TCG. Giving you guys the dramatis personae would be a MAJOR spoiler...

See, now that's enough of a tidbit for me. I'm probably going to spend 20 minutes staring at just those pages when I get my copy.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who usually giggles with excitement just from reading the dramatis personae?

Ah well if even the reviewers can't spoil then I am SOL. It was a momentary lapse of reason and I will g out with that song on my mind and re-read dust of dreams again today.

How is it a spoiler if it's listed before the story even starts?

Sarcasm is hard to detect over the internet.

True story, although isn't there some precedent to SE holding back in the Dramatis Persona just to ensure a complete surprise factor - I know that at least in my edition of tBH, Ganoes Paran isn't listed there.

Yeah that's how it is for all of them...characters that show up in the second half usually aren't listed.

I guess there's the exception of RG though, where you get the whole army of Bonehunters.

For me is classic dramatis personae too huge spoiler, so I skip it. Only when I cant remember some character, I use it...but no many times.

I don't even want to know if the Crippled God is in this book. It's the very last book and I've been spoiled before (Rake's death), I'm not taking any chances.
