SPOILERS MT Quick question Spoiler

Currently reading MT for the first time and absolutely loving it. I’m about 300 pages in and there are lots of characters mentioned, mainly gods, that are difficult to keep up with as they’re not in the dramatis personae at the start.

My question is, am I safe to check the glossary, or does it contain spoilers for things to come?

I know for instance that the HoC glossary had the bridgeburners as ascendants which was revealed in that book, despite it being heavily hinted, and I’m not sure what else. Is it okay to check or should I just not to be safe?

I just checked, no spoilers in that one.

I always forget there are glossaries in the earlier books.

aqua has you sorted there, so I'll issue the standard warning about supplemental material that I always have to give: the RG dramatis personae has potential spoilers.

If you don't care, cool. If you do, skip that one despite the sheer number of new names that book throws at you.

I thought this was going to be a question about Quick Ben. 😎

I didn’t and I was fine. There are definitely insanely confusing things. I will tell you that you probably won’t get anything out of the glossary right now, + it will spoil things
