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.
