True. You'd already need to be familiar with the characters and settings to consider them spoilers, but at that point, they wouldn't be spoilers, because you'd be at least that far in the books/series.
I've read a couple of the books, but not quite as far as the bit depicted in the last scene, so technically it's a spoiler for me. However, it's not exactly a big surprise ;)
The bit depicted in the last scene is the end of Season 1 of the series, as well as the very end to the first book. Minus some creative liberties, Book 1 of the series maps to Season 1 of the show in lock step.
Am I missing something? How are you a couple books in and that was a spoiler?
Hah! So much for my memory - it's been about four years since I last read them, and I've obviously forgotten which events happened in which book. Thanks for setting me right. Guess I should go back and re-read them at some point...
