Lots of AGOT was ridic, but the least believable part was that the Night's Watch wasn't just a non-stop gay orgy.

Set up for the Azor Ahai prophecy & foreshadowing for what happened at Summerhall all in one.

"I'm not stupid, ser." Egg lowered his voice. "Someday the dragons will return. My brother Daeron's dreamed of it, and King Aerys read it in a prophecy. Maybe it will be my egg that hatches. That would be splendid." (The Mystery Knight)

The return of the dragons is mentioned only in the AA prophecy. I have a lot of appreciation for the groundwork lays in all of his books.

“I am familiar with the ancient ritual of shaking hands, sir. I have noted that you are carrying no weapons. It is my understanding that the custom was originally intended to establish this fact. I am unarmed as well. You may now withdraw your hand, if you please.”

People who harass George R. R. Martin on social media for writing too slowly likely read the books and concluded that if only Lord Tarly had been a bit harder on his son then Samwell would have become a mighty warrior.

“A man can own a woman or a man can own a knife,” Ygritte told him, “but no man can own both. Every little girl learns that from her mother.” She raised her chin defiantly and gave her thick red hair a shake. “And men can’t own the land no more’n they can own the sea or the sky."

“It is a dream for spring...,” Lord Eddard had said.
...
Lord Eddard was dead, however, his brother Benjen lost; the shield they dreamt together would never be forged.

Jon will achieve Ned's dream, just not as Ned intended. The Gift will be populated again but with the free folk. Ned was trying to create a shield against the free folk; instead they will be a shield for the North.

Listening to an interview with George RR Martin from 2010 where he mentions that the last RPG he played was a homebrew space themed game run by his assistant who had incidentally written a novel set in that world.

The first book of was published in 2011.

This isn't some big revelation but I don't think there are many, if any, earlier mentions of these books in any media.

So, I finally finished (first time in English, second time overall) after over a month.
Martin's writing is as captivating as ever, and while it starts at a brisk pace, the latter chapters get more like they continue to be for the rest of the books (a bit long-winded on some things).
I felt as though I understood more of his intentions, and made me think of posibilities I hadn't considered before.
