Enjoyed it thoroughly a captivating romp round Westeros with knight and squire who are honorable and lovingly imperfect protagonists Would highly recommend this to you Gives good view of times before GOT and after HOD

I picked this book up and could not put it down. Although different style in story telling focusing on only one story than his other works, it kept me thoroughly entertained and I found myself unable to put it down. By far one of my favorites of Martin

A century before GOT there was Dunk and Egg. Duncan the Tall is a young hedge knight of lowly birth and Egg, who is a preternaturally smart child is his Squire with a secret, make for an odd but endearing pair. The simple but haunting illustrations by Gary Gianni are an added delight.

Can’t wait for this to be adapted!

 I enjoyed the little stories enjoy that this book brought to me.

Different take on some of the characters that we really don’t read to much about, and insight about before the Game of Thrones

An excellent read from cover to cover.

GRRM truly is a master storyteller, I loved this from start to finish! It’s a perfect stand alone story in the GoT universe! Preview it and you’ll quickly see why

The first and last stories are the best in this collection. Martin gives an overview on the nature of Chivalry in his epic world. Lovable characters abound in this work.

Great collection of three stories, & I wish the rest of the books were already out!

I’m utterly anxious to read more of Ser Dunk and Egg’s adventures. Even more though, I’m eager to hope for a series to be made to continue their story.

Book was really good, mainly jus ab stories of a legendary hedge knight and his hard mouth squire

Good

A lot of people expected a lengthy addition to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire without realizing what this actually was: a collection of short and straight forward novellas that focus on a hedge knight and his squire during the Blackfyre rebellion, long before the events of Game of Thrones takes place. There’s still politics and it’s tied to the history and lore of the series -there’s always some Targaryen drama afoot - but it’s about the lowborn’s place in the game of thrones. The politics are there, but from an outsider’s perspective. Dunk is no lord or schemer, just a hedge knight trying to make it from one meal to the next. As a long time fan of the books I felt it was refreshing and interesting to have the POV of the small folk getting wrapped up in the drama of warring lords, kings, and usurpers. Not shocks or huge surprises if you know GRRM’s work and style, but a fun bite sized narrative. I hope we get more in this series eventually.

Generally a good read with strong characters and plots, as you would expect. But there’s mind-numbing repetition of some key phrases (eg, Dunk the lunk, over and over). And it’s astonishingly short—feels like a cheat, honestly.

if you like the game of Thrones books it’s great

This is one of GRRM’s best works. Unlike the other I’ve read, this one is completely interesting. However, the story seems to change at points and can be very confusing, especially toward the end.

Not worth it, very short for the price

The story is a good one but not terribly compelling or a real page turner. That being said, the writing is just short of poetic. The pictures George RR Martin paints are so clear you can almost smell the sweat and dung. And it is delightful to have so many wonderful graphics to illustrate what the author sees. I do recommend it especially for fans.
