It's not a book for kids at all, and for teens only if you're comfortable having them read about brothels, plays on the word 'pussy', teens being caught in the middle of sex in a kitchen, and people undressing the bride and copping feels on the way to her bedding.
I used to teach high school English and I'm not ignorant of what teens get up to by any means, but I'd be uncomfortable and would not let my own teen-aged children read it.(less)

As I suspect for the aurthor, these stories can enhance the reader's appreciation of the larger Song.
They are stand alone stories. As such, they are self contained. Everything you need to know is within the story itself. This is not fan fiction.(less)

So, it was money well spent and, as an added bonus, I had an excuse to read these short stories again! Feb 02, 2019Petrik rated it really liked it · review of another edition

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a great prequel compilation with superb production value.
I’m currently in the middle of collecting all the books within A Song of Ice and Fire in hardcover format. Honestly speaking, unlike The World of Ice and Fire and Fire and Blood, I didn’t have a lot of interest in reading this book; I treated it as a completionist read or a diversion while I wait for the release for The Winds of Winter. This is also why I'm happy that this book ended up being such a pleasa...more

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a collection of three novellas that are set a generation or two before the events of A Song and Ice and Fire. In the third person perspective, we follow Dunk or as he tailors himself - Ser Duncan the Tall. The first narrative is named The Hedge Knight and we are presented to our protagonist as he is burying his former mentor for whom he used to squire. It's a touching start, and an interesting introduction to Dunk. He is planning to go to a tourney in Ashford an...more

I thoroughly enjoyed these three novellas. It was great to return to Westeros, one hundred years before the events of ASoIaF. We follow Dunk, a hedge knight risen up by an old knight with no heirs. He gets himself a squire named Egg, who unbeknownst to him is Prince Aegon - one of the Targaryen Princes. “Oak and iron guard me well, or else I’m dead and doomed to hell.” We see Dunk get himself into all kinds of scrapes, including a trial of seven as well...more

I'm not fond of novellas or short stories. I always end up hating them because of the length. It's like someone telling you a summarized version of a detailed story. This one on the other hand is one of the exceptions to the hatred. It's not a shock though that Martin can make me enjoy something that I typically hate.

Very entertaining.
George R. R. Martin provides some backstory and depth to his wildly popular Song of Ice and Fire series with this collection of three novellas about Dunc and Egg: a hedge knight and his squire. The events in the three related and sequential novellas take place a hundred years before A Game of Thrones and there is still a Targaryen on the iron throne and the memory of the last dragon is still alive in and old man’s memory. First published all together in 2013, with some snazzy ill...more

I am weak. And in my weakness, I finally broke down and purchased A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It sat on my shelf for awhile, mocking me and my lack of self-control. I was going to continue ignoring it. But then the seventh season of Game of Thrones came and went, and the withdrawal set in. It set in bad. I had to crack the cover; I had to stop the shakes.

I had picked up a fantasy book a few weeks ago that I hoped would satiate my current reading desires, but alas no. So I turned to George R.R. Martin. He's always a good bet.

Sure, there's such a small amount of fantasy in his work that, aside from mention of dragons in this particular book, it could almost be called...more

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a collection of three stories set in Westeros, the same fictional lands as featured in A Song of Ice and Fire series, but set over one hundred years previously.

These three novellas take place roughly one hundred years before A Game of Thrones.

I have read the comic version of this but I ran across a particularly nice illustrated copy and bought it. I am glad I did. This is a very entertaining tale. It is slightly more light hearted in overall tone, but don't let good ol' Dunk and adorable Egg fool you-this is still the world of Game of Thrones. NOTHING is what it seems. There is violence and maiming a plenty.

Three short stories about Dunk and Egg. I was extremely excited to read this novel. There were pictures, and I figured it wouldn't be a super hard read, which it wasn't. It was about the mysterious Egg, who Aemon loves. How couldn't I be excited. They were cool. It was adventurous. There was fighting. You also had the chance to see the past. I have to say I was expecting more. I wanted to see more people, like the Starks. I miss them.
