Sure, the TV series may well be a standard trope fantasy, and hell maybe the book ends up the same way (the original title of book 7 - "A Time for Wolves" - suggests that it very well may).
But when it takes 5+ books to start to get anywhere near that kind of routine, I'd say it's fairly difficult to call it 'brilliantly cloaked' rather than simply a different animal entirely that comes to a similar resolution.

My GUESS is that the key components at play will end up being the same in the books. Bran is the three-eyed raven, Sansa's a political schemer, Jon is a Targaryen King of the North, and Arya is an assassin.
But I definitely think that the paths they all used to get to where we are now could vary dramatically from what we've seen on the books so far.
