Ch 5 Demon In White

This is not necessarily a serious critique, or maybe it’s a slight one. But since I don’t know anything past it , I’m just trying to make a comment.

Sometimes when Christopher introduces a character, or a scenario, he gives a big spoiler that changes the way I am able to play out my feelings for a person or situation.

I was really excited to get to see Alexander learn and train with Hadrian, and to see how their relationship unfolded. Just until a page later where Christopher throws a huge spoiler into the mix without us even being able to see more than 10 sentences of dialogue between the prince and Hadrian.

I find that disappointing, regardless of the intended outcome of their relationship, it would’ve been nice to grow and form my opinions of the prince and then be shocked by the “ordering of Hadrians execution” rather than now, instead having to not trust the prince the entire time up to that point.

Again, I’m only 5 chapters in so I’m more than likely wrong or not knowledgeable enough to make any type of serious judgment on why Christopher chose to spoil that so early, but it’s a little confusing for me.
