I think my enjoyment of the book would have been different (although not necessarily worse) had I known. For what it's worth, I rank the major spoilers as: 1. Greater Revelation of Orca 2. Sethra Lavode 3. Issola 4. Lesser Revelation of Orca And I'm not even sure #4 really counts. The events in Teckla/Phoenix are a much bigger spoiler if you've only read Jhereg or Yendi. Bryan
