The First King of Shannara prequel spoils a huge plot point revealed at the very climax of The Druid of Shannara (book 2 of Heritage). Reading the prequel first will mean a new reader knows exactly how a book they've not read yet (Druid) is going to turn out--and it will become very obvious very early.

Yep. And they can be just as easily slotted into a publication-order reading as they can a chronological reading. There's publication dates that make such a thing relatively easy to figure out.
