Are they spoilers when the plot never changes?

I'm about 2/3 way through the latest LE Modesitt book (from the library). It's the first in a new trilogy and I'm actually enjoying it far more than I expected to. That aside, there are no surprises. He's published about fifty books and at least forty go like this:

Young man is misunderstood and rebellious. Something Happens and he develops Magickal Powers while offending some Powers That Be. He leaves home to develop said Magickal Powers and discovers that his Magick is stronger than everyone else's. Through training, young man grows to understand that his rebellion was misplaced and Society has Good Reasons for its rules. He then marries the girl he met on page ten and becomes a Power.

What I'm reading: LE Modesitt, Imager
