Oh gods I can't believe you've finished all 5 books already.
I also can't wait to get to work so I can properly sit down and reply to a ton of stuff you've brought up in this thread as well as direct you to some new amazing theories to look over (specifically concerning Jon Snow's parentage and other Azor Ahai prophecies/theories). !!!!!!!!!!
Just FYI... If I had known you were going to plow through them so quickly (or, for that matter, read them at all haha), I would have suggested you read the 3 short-stories before starting book 5. Even though the short stories are set 100 years in the past.. there are events that foreshadow and hint at things you read in the main story.
In fact.. if you had read the short stories, you would have jumped up in complete surprise/joy when Bran first meets the 3 Eyed Crow because you would have recognized who he was. It's something you can't know unless you've read the short stories. The three-eyed-crow identity is one of those theories I've had for about 8+ years that actually was proven by GRRM in book 5, thankfully. I can only hope he proves some more in the next two books. :\
Look at me.. I have no time to be sitting here writing about this yet here I sit. I'll come back in a couple hours with more!!!!
