Great short story, a fill in for a Game of Throne tragic

"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" by G.R.R. Martin is the perfect appetizer while waiting on the release of the upcoming "Winds of Winter." I finished the main body of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series last year and was pining for…

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms contains three short stories: A Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight. These prequel stories, set about 100 year before the main books in The Game of Thrones, focus on the adventures of the…

The same adventures you've enjoyed as graphic novels, but expanded into book form. Perfect for anyone eagerly awaiting The Winds of Winter.

A welcome reprieve from all the grisly murder and sinister politics of the Song of Ice and Fire series. This collection of novellas finds Westeros in simpler times, roughly 90 years before Game of Thrones set the whole world on fire (and…

Martin continues his mastery in character names and back stories, however these three novellas preceding the Game of Thrones series are single-threaded and simpler. This is also appropriate for a bit younger reader too. Without so much…

Good stuff. There's another 'Dunc and egg' story in Martin's anthology 'Warriors' for those who find themselves wanting MORE! MORE!

Very enjoyable! These shorter stories are a great compliment to the ASOIAF series that take place about 100 years before the events that kick off A Game of Thrones; however, you don't need to read ASOIAF to understand them. I could read…

A collection of three short stories set approximately a century before A Game of Thrones, this collection feels like Martin's best work, equal parts comedy, action, seriousness, and whimsy, with plenty of easter eggs.

This collection of the 3 Dunk and Egg novellas to 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. While they are short stories, they aren't like your standard prequels. The stories would be entertaining for readers who have not read the main series books. It…

I was surprised by this tale of a hedge knight and his page. There is certainly a Game of Thrones tone to the stories. There is a fight scene involving combat on horseback that descends into a foot battle in deep water that is among the…

I liked this story because we only follow one characters journey....I loved the other books, but it can get bogged down by too many subplots.

The tale of Dunk and Egg, knight and prince, half-giant and small boy. I thought these three stories were pretty cute, though the second short didn't hold my interest as much as the other two, which seemed to give the book a nice,…

So much fun to read! If you like Game Of Thrones, fairy tales, or buddy movies, you will love "The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms"! I love when a book makes me supremely happy!

Excellent. Game of Thrones prequal, Dunk, a hedge knight and Egg, his squire (who is a lord’s son) seek their fortunes. Great pen-and-ink illustrations by Gary Gianni. Way more like the first novel of Game of Thrones than like the…

If you enjoy Game of Thrones, then you'll appreciate this collection of three novellas set in the same world. It has the same feel as George R.R. Martin's popular series. And their relative brevity means you'll finish them much more…

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a collection of three previously published short stories set in Martin's classic high fantasy kingdom of Westeros. Although I enjoyed the clever banter between principle characters Dunk and Egg, I found…

Really great short stories combined into a book. If you rather read these in graphic novel format, the first two stories have been adapted. Except the last (which I think was the best one) hasn't yet come out yet. It's about Ser Duncan the…

Prequels that pre-date Game of Thrones by a century. The format is novella, but they have the depth and complexity of much longer novels. An absolute must read for those waiting for more GoT books to come out.

These three novellas tell of the adventures of a young hedge knight called Duncan the Tall and a mysterious young boy he befriends. Both may end up being more important that anyone expects. I love, love, love Dunk and Egg. The characters…
