the only people who were shocked were people who werent used to books where the "obvious good guy" is immediately killed

i dont think he telegraphs twists, but he does telegraph "this terrible thing is going to happen," so the reader things, oh gently caress thats not actually going to happen is it? IS IT? and then bam. people just arent used to that.

about that guy: in the first chapter says the wolf is his family symbol and the stag is the king's and there's a wolf killed by a deer horn. and then in the next ned chapter the king gives him a new job and ned thinks yep i belong down here in the crypt with my dead ancestors. pretty drat blatant

in the second one bran hiding in the tombs and not having fled is given away by a story someone else tells about a guy who does the same thing

i don't think he does it all the time, i only read the first 2, but it doesn't get more obvious than this
