This enhanced edition is much worse than the previous books.

I was a super casual GoT fan for a while, but being a fantasy dork with some extra time, I decided to read the series. The first two enhanced editions are awesome! Helpful information, plenty of maps and info. I like having visuals - family trees, crests, maps, pictures. These were just the right amount of “enhanced”, even if a few descriptions were pretty useless- i.e. a character name link. The link would say “X is a member of house Y, a vassal to house Z. X is known for (insert random feature here).” And the very next sentence would be “X, a member of house Y, was known for his (insert random feature here).” Ok, cool, whatever.
This one, I’m not even through the prologue and there’s a major issue - it spoils the end of the prologue! Character’s links and bios describe the character AND reveal whether they did or did not survive an attack that hadn’t happened yet! The war horns being blown like they are isn’t even surprising, and reading through the end of it isn’t suspenseful, since I already found out who lives and dies! This is a huge oversight that I cannot believe was submitted like this.
There are also several spelling and grammatical issues so far. Like I said, haven’t even finished the prologue. I’m hoping the rest of the enhanced edition of book 3 isn’t like the prologue, but if it is I won’t be purchasing any more, despite my love for the first two.
