I read the Divergent trilogy and really enjoyed it–until [she killed off her main character Tris.] I suppose you may consider me a sentimental fool, but I really wish I could unread that last story. Assuming you read the trilogy, how would you feel about another story by her?

Well, considering you’ve just spoiled the trilogy for everyone, what would be the point?

[Moderating]

I haven’t read the trilogy myself, but that does seem like rather a significant spoiler. So I tagged it.

Unfortunately, it still shows up in the hover text, without any warning.

One strategy that works is putting the spoiler itself in brackets.

(Fortunately, I’m not interested in the series, and only read the hover text to figure out who Roth was.)

Ah, right, forgot about that. Should be fixed now.
