TK, it does sound good.

The prologue in AGOT was great. I liked it because it was obvious that the three characters Gared, Will, and Waymar were not major characters. They were going to die and the story soon changed to the Game of Thrones. But the prologue was the real story. Men can fight for or against the Iron Throne, the Seastone Chair, the Lannisters, the Freys, the roses, the wolves, the fish, or King Robert. But the real danger is north. Winter is Coming. The night is dark and full of terrors.

The prologues all deal with the larger picture... the impending clash of the supernatural. AGOT had rangers dying at the hands of the Others. ACOK had the arrival of the powerful hero of Rh'llor. ASOS featured the Others and the wights assault on the Fist. And AFFC told of an assassin who gains access to the secrets of the Citadel, the great repository of learning for the natural and supernatural.
