KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS Paperback – 25 February 2020

"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" by George R.R. Martin is a compelling collection of three novellas set in the richly detailed world of Westeros. Taking place about a century before the events of "A Song of Ice and Fire," these stories follow the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, who is revealed to be Aegon V Targaryen.The book masterfully blends elements of classic chivalric romance with the dark, intricate politics and rich lore that fans of Martin's work have come to expect. Duncan, a towering but humble knight, and Egg, a prince in disguise, make for an engaging pair, their dynamic providing both humor and depth. Martin’s skillful world-building is on full display, with vibrant descriptions and well-developed characters that enrich the tapestry of Westeros’ history.Each novella offers a self-contained narrative, yet they interlink to reveal broader themes of honor, loyalty, and the complexities of knighthood. The prose is as immersive and detailed as ever, ensuring that readers are drawn into the medieval setting and its nuanced social structures.Overall, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is a satisfying and well-crafted addition to Martin’s expansive universe. It provides a deeper understanding of the history and lore of Westeros, while offering an engaging and adventurous read that stands on its own merits.

About the delivered product:The copy is quite good. It collects the 3 Dunk and Egg stories published so far. Decent quality paper and binding. No complaintsAbout the book:While the book is set in Westeros just like George R R Martin’s seminal “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, the stories contained here are quite different by virtue of focusing more tightly on the two main characters: Dunk and Egg. Ser Duncan the Tall is a quite legendary character in the ASOIAF canon, and these stories show his growth from a humble naive knight. Hopefully there are more stories to come in the future.

This was set 100 years before the events of the Game of Thrones and is actually a set of three novellas of Dunk, the hedge Knight and his squire, Egg. The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight are the three novellas that made up A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms. The writing of G.R.R. Martin was crispier than the GoT books and these novellas were quite toned down in matters of description of violence, treatment of women and slangs. In fact, found only two to three instances where few raw words were used, which is in stark contrast to the GoT books. An easy going read, found this book quite interesting. The illustrations were plus. Illustrations were very good and may tempt many aspiring artists to follow the sketches and try on their own.The bad thing about the book was the condition. The glue wasn't strong and the entire jacket threatened to come out which I mended with glue. In spite of that, at the middle portion, the book got clearly divided on the spine (thankfull, didn't snap into two parts), which again had to be mended by glue. Wonder whether this solo book had the problem or the whole lot. So, others may please be careful after receiving this order.

Good for reading

Exciting short story in the world of westoros. It leaves you wanting more by the time you finish the three stories.

The book is a Gem for those who are ASOIAF Fans, it contains lot of Old Era Words as Usual & some Histories of Westerns in Short, Hedge Knight - Ser Duncan the Tall & Egg form great intriguing Characters to Read About. As Story continue we experience Different Perception, overall it is Juicy Tale with Details of Characters.Liked it a Lot.Also I wonder why Amazon nowadays doesn't send Bookmark.

The story of Dunk and Egg, 100 years before the events of A Game of Thrones :) This is definitely more of a collector's thing for the ASOIAF superfan; not recommended for non-series readers since it takes a while to get into GRRM's unique style of voice. For me, this book was a delight to keep me a little occupied while I *continue* to wait for Winds of Winter.My only qualm is that the text in this copy is painfully tiny for a paperback, especially one with illustrations every 2-3 pages. Perhaps a hardcover might be a better bet, though again, this is more of an ASOIAF superfan commitment!
