Maulkin these are good questions to which I have no answers!
Heheeh, as you say, hopefully All Will Be Revealed (or at least Some)
When I read the Robin Hobb books I noticed quite a few little details that were very similar to things in ASOIAF (and no doubt it was easy to make a connection, when RH was recommended to me by GRRM's blog)
I doubt any of these are spoilers for plot as such ....... but they do reveal snippets so don't read on if you don't want to know stuff about all RH (except DK and DH) or GRRM ASOIAF............
The spy corridors that Chade uses instantly reminded me of Varys in ASOIAF spying on people in the same way (hmmmm who is it that finds this out, I think maybe Tyrion??? says something about 'so much for his little birds' or some such)
BUT this may have just been a fact of medieval castles ........ so not really something one got from the other ......
Ok they both seem to have a thing for wolves........
In ASOIAF Patchface is a fool who makes prophecies (ok nothing at all like The Fool but ...... he is A fool)
Hmm now I can't remember the others - anyone????
I actually think there were some things in the Solider Son trilogy ,,,, hmmm
