I've started The Way of the Kings and I'm a bit lost

Is there any website/resource for terminology but without spoilers? I'm on page 89 and whilst I understand a fair chunk of what's happening every time I come across a new word I feel like I'm having a fit lol

I ask for no spoilers as I made the grave mistake of googling why is Shallan seeking to be an apprentice of Jasnah and I got some spoilers from it :D

Thanks x

Riiiiight

Someone please shed some light here. English isn't my first language and I think I must have misunderstood some bits with how the Well of Ascension works?

Am I right in thinking that the well fills up every 1000 years with Preservations power? Or is it Ruins? And if Ruin is trapped how is it that he can still manipulate people to release the power of the Well through hemalurgic spikes?

And also WHY VIN? Why is she not the Hero of Ages? Why is she the only one who can release the power of the well and not another person??

Heeeeeelp 🤣
