A century before A Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros…

Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there was Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals — in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg — whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin’s ongoing masterwork A Song of Ice and Fire.

Featuring more than 160 illustrations by Gary Gianni, one of the finest fantasy artists of our time, this beautiful volume will transport readers to the world of the Seven Kingdoms in an age of bygone chivalry.

“No, but there are eggs. The last dragon left a clutch of five, and they have more on Dragonstone, old ones from before the Dance. My brothers all have them too. Aerion’s looks as though it’s made of gold and silver, with veins of fire running through it. Mine is white and green, all swirly.”

“A hedge knight is the truest kind of knight, Dunk,” the old man had told him, a long long time ago. “Other knights serve the lords who keep them, or from whom they hold their lands, but we serve where we will, for men whose causes we believe in. Every knight swears to protect the weak and innocent, but we keep the vow best, I think.”

This book particularly I found very captivating and loved the character development. It was an easy read and I think it was a great length. It wasn't took short but didn't drag out.
I feel that it fills in some holes with events from the past to better explain the back story.
The illustrations are gorgeous and love the attention to details.
Very well written and excellent read!

For every fan of ASOIAF...

Seeing as how this book is just a compilation of all three Tales of Dunk and Egg, I'll simply post my review for each of the stories below. Do note that in this collection, Gary Gianni lends his skill to the story and has illustrated each tale.

THE HEDGE KNIGHT:

The Tales of Dunk and Egg! The Hedge Knight, the first of three tales about these unlikeliest of companions, is a tale well told. Martin is a masterful storyteller; one who's been at it for a very long time. And coming back to Westeros was an absolute treat. I was saving these novellas for when I was truly craving more stories in the Song of Ice and Fire world, and I'm glad to have saved them. It's been years since I read anything within this world, and it feels like coming home.

After Ser Arlan of Pennytree, the man Dunk had been squiring for since he was a boy, takes sick and dies, Dunk sets his sights on the soon to be held Tourney of Ashford. Along the way he meets Egg who, like Dunk, may just be more than he seems. It's a short little novella, but is full of all those things that have given Martin the following he has. Westeros has always to me felt like our world with slight changes. It doesn't take much to imagine it clearly, as Martin paints it so vividly. In some alternate reality, it would be our own deep history but slightly larger, a tough more grand. A world as varied and realistic as our own.

Dunk and Egg. They're an unlikely pair, and they're a joy to read about. The Sworn Sword is next.

THE SWORN SWORD:

I don't know what to rate this. They're short, but I really enjoy them. I don't know. The ratings are nonsense anyway; know that I liked it a lot.

The Sworn Sword is the second of three stories about the Hedge Knight, Dunk, and his squire, Egg. It takes place around two years after the first story, and I think it was every bit as good, maybe even a little better. We are treated to some juicy Westeros history in this one, as we follow Dunk during his time as Ser Eustace Osgrey's sworn sword; a knight whose house, previously of renown and good standing, is down on its luck. Ser Eustace and his men fought in the Blackfyre Rebellion, which is an intensely interesting portion of ASOIAF history, and I was pleased to hear more about it through his recollections. Bloodraven is also a frequent topic of discussion, as he is the King's Hand during the time of this story, and that was interesting to hear.

I also felt that we dove deeper into Dunk's character in this one. It may just be a natural reaction to spending more time with him, but I was really pleased to have done so. While not full of quite as much action as the first tale, Dunk's entanglement with Ser Eustace and Lady Rohanne, the Red Widow, was nicely done. It makes me excited for the third story, the Mystery Knight.

THE MYSTERY KNIGHT:

The third Tale of Dunk and Egg proved to be just as entertaining as the first two. Dunk and Egg's relationship grows in the telling of these tales, and whether it's sage advice that Dunk lends his quire, or a threatened clout in the ear (it's funny every time), their bond is something I enjoy.

The Mystery Knight makes good use of all the history about the Blackfyre Rebellion we've been given in the stories thus far. I won't give away too much but George offers us another noteworthy wedding; complete with a jousting tourney, a mystery knight, and as many shadowy figures as you'd expect at an ASOIAF wedding. Just what the hell is going on in Whitewalls...

Each Dunk and Egg tale was well told, and offers a fan of GRRM's main series more of what they love about his writing; with the addition of some excellent backstory on some characters who are only mentioned a handful of times previously. I'm disappointed to not have more of them to read, but I know better than to request something of George other than Winds of Winter.

I highly recommend these stories to anyone who hasn't yet read them, especially fans of the main series.

Intriguing story set in the past, fills in some of the back story of the Game of Thrones world.

A knight of the Seven Kingdoms the adventures of Dunk and Egg is a wonderful start to a new story set in the Game of Thrones world 100 years before the events in GOT. While reading just a few chapters into this book I realized why we like George RR Martin’s world so much. It is filled with deep rich characters that are full of pride and have realistic flaws. While I would much rather George finish the original saga before writing off shoot stories based in the same world. It is hard to deny that he writes compelling stories. Since we all know who Egg ends up becoming we are fascinated to see how his story plays out. The character development is excellent as are the wonderful drawing illustrations that accompany the reading. The drawings are superb and paint a wonderful picture of what is going on in the text. They reminded me of the illustrations that accompany Robert E Howards Conan stories which are outstanding visuals that go along with the reading.

One thing that struck me while reading the stories is the possibility of Dunk ending up becoming the father of Gregore Clegane and Sandor Clegane since he is almost a giant of a man himself. Maybe they end up becoming his bastard children. George once again made this story so open ended that of course a sequel will follow, the question will be how soon?

The book does move along quiet slowly at times where you wish the action would speed up a bit. Dunk is a likable character more streetwise whereas Egg is the intellect of the too. The author gives off the idea that eventually Dunk will end up a kings guard knight, but it seems years away from where Dunk’s life is at currently hence another reason for a sequel for the story.

Overall GOT fans should be quiet pleased with the story. The writing and character development is excellent although I thought of Dorne in my mind as a much more of a desert and desolate place than what was described in the story. They seem to be barely in the country and more on the border in my opinion. It was nice to see Dunk prove his valor even if he seems to stubble into things.

I would rate this a 4 ½ star story. I found it interesting with great drawings to accompany the text. I kept wanting to read even more to find out what happens next. I can’t wait for further adventures meeting the Starks and heading to the Wall.

I can't say enough about it, but for such short stories, the world is rich, the characters are rich. There doesn't even need to be a plot, and the way the words are put together just make time go by. It truly is genius. I can't explain it.

Just bought "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" and I'm already buzzing! Heard whispers about this hidden gem in Westeros, a whole different era before the whole "Game of Thrones" madness.
Can't wait to crack it open tonight and see if it lives up to the hype. Fingers crossed for epic adventures.
