re: Game of Thrones Re-Read/Re-Watch Project (Multiple Book Spoilers)

Rereading the Jon chapter, I saw something that I did not think about before:
In Storm of Swords, we find out that Mance Rayder was there hidden amongst the musicians. I think other authors would have tried to foreshadow this by mentioning how big or how good one of the musicians was. GRRM did not do that, the musicians there were in the background and nobody paid that much attention too them. Like what would happen during a normal feast. I like that he can still pull out surprises like this.
