    I am re-reading AGOT again reading through the series previously, and it is scary just how much foreshadowing there is in the early chapters so far. Commented Jul 17, 2014 at 18:00

    A related question was asked and GRRM have answered in Sword and Laser episode 6 (at around the 6:40 mark): youtu.be/_tWg7LPq4nE?t=6m40s . A shame that they've stopped producing the series after Amazon bought Goodreads.
