What type of Afterword reader are you? I know someone who reads the afterword first and regardless of how often I tell them that they are a perverse freak and should be ashamed they are unapologetic and don’t change their wicked ways.
And while we’re speaking about Afterwords, have you come across interesting ones? Personally, I like ones that give some background info about the volume the most and afterwords written as the characters least.
I do not think that’s any better than reading the afterword first. My initial thought is that it’s even worse TBH. At least with the afterwords, you have a chance not to get spoiled.
