There are some moments where it is silly indeed, especially since many times in the past 5 books or so we get a retrospective of "this charactaer did that", "this event happened", etc. Putting a spoiler tag that Pug becomes a magician in "Magician" would be silly. And please, spare me the "I joined this list because of Faerie Tale" :) PJ
