We'll start CotCT soon. I want to get some more background on the city my character spent his whole life living in. On the other hand I want to avoid spoilers at all cost.
Would it be consideres "save" reading? Or could I partially read it?

The Guide to Korvosa has been designed so that it is safe to read for players, except for the last chapter, which contains the secrets of the city for the GM only.
If you're a player, I would say the best thing to do is to ask your GM first. While the guide won't spoil anything from the campaign outside of the secrets chapter, I felt it gave a bit more information that I wanted my players to have about some people and locations. Just little things, like a mystery about a location here or an NPC background there that could be spun-off into a short adventure. I would suggest your GM reads through it first to make sure it doesn't conflict with any of their plans.
If I remember correctly, all the information in the Guide to Corvosa was from before the campaign and there were no spoilers for the plot in it. If the PCs are natives, it is good reading, and fairly safe, though as said, it could be good to ask the DM in advance in case they are planning something.
