Help
I know others have probably posted this same question but I am not sure where to look. I am currently on my third re-read of the entire series to date by both authors. I am starting up Dust of Dreams again (actually my second read of that book) and I just bought Orb, Sceptre Throne. I have never read The Crippled God. My plan is to read OST in between DoD and TCG (yes, I know they are meant to be taken as one giant novel, but I have no problem with cliffhangers and MBotF is my favorite series ever and I don't want it to end. I want to put off reading TCG for as long as possible!) But one thing I wanted to make sure of is that OST has no information that will spoil the ending of TCG. As I understand it, OST continues on directly from TTH. But whether it syncs up with TCG or stands relatively apart from it I don't really know. I am not looking for reviews about whether OST is good or bad, just want to make sure I don't ruin the grand finale of the main series for myself.

Does OST contain any "Crippled God" spoilers?

You're safe to read it before tCG. As far as I recall, there isn't a single spoiler. OST takes place around the same time as Dust of Dreams (roughly), so you'll be fine.

Yup, I cant recall spoilers to TCG. I dont think its wise decision, rather self tormenting, but...yeah, suffering cleans karma! 
(and I mean that cliffhanger in DoD, not quality of OST)

I cannot recall any spoilers at all.

No. There's one moment where they vaguely allude to something that's going on in TCG and it may be a minor wtd moment for you, but it's not as if this series isn't full of those

It spoils the fact that a crazy big convergence is happening on another continent.
Oh, bollocks, I just spoiled that for you too.

No worries, Defiance, I was pretty sure that would be the case anyway! Thanks for the replies, guys!

The OP hadn't read OSt at the time of posting, so you have just given a massive spoiler. Probably should tag that for new readers stumbling upon this topic.

Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Nope. Reread the TCG scene, it's explained.
...and if you want to discuss that further, take it elsethread and avoid further spoilers here.
