Über diesen Titel

SOON TO BE A MAJOR TV SERIES

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.

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 with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg – whose true identity must be hidden from all he and Dunk encounter: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.

Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, and 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.

Kritikerstimmen

Praise for A Song of Ice and Fire: "In the grand epic fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best...tense, surging, insomnia-inflicting." ( Time Magazine)
"An absorbing, exciting read...Martin's style is so vivid that you will be hooked within a few pages." ( The Times)
"The sheer mind-boggling scope of this epic has sent other fantasy writers away shaking their heads.... Its ambition: to construct the Twelve Caesars of fantasy fiction, with characters so venomous they could eat the Borgias." ( Guardian)
"Colossal, staggering.... Martin captures all the intoxicating complexity of the Wars of the Roses or Imperial Rome in his imaginary world.... The writing is always powerful...." ( SFX)

Book and Story are great, even greater then a single GOT part imo, but Reader changes Volume constantly and whispers every like 10 seconds. Nogo for reading style!

Dieses Buch hilft gut bei der Überbrückung der schrecklich langen Wartezeit bis zur neuen GoT Staffel und dem neuen Buch. Berührend und charakterstark geschrieben. Ein "must-read" für alle großen Fans der Saga.

Tolle Kurzgeschichten im Reich von GoT

It is hard to be a fair judge of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms", if you are an avid reader of "A Song of Ice and Fire". George Martin manages to pull you immedfiately into the magic of Westeros, where chivalry, honour and courage struggle with corruption, intrigue and vile meanness. Of course, this book does not have the epic breadth of a "Game of Thrones", but the ingredients are all there. It is great storytelling, even if it does not quite match the quality of "A Song of Ice and Fire". By comparison the story is quite harmless and straight forward, it is a simple tale, not unlike a fairy tale.

Dunk, a squire to an old hedge knight, takes the sword of his dead master and decides to become a hedge knight of his own. Dunk is tall and strong, perhaps not overly smart, but more chivalrous and honest than most of his more noble born colleagues. His strong sense of honor and right or wrong leads him immediately into trouble. He beats up a Tarrgaryen prince, who is abusing and hurting a young and beautiful puppeteer girl. As a consequence, he is offered a choice, to lose his hand, tonque and foot or a trial by combat.

This is not the only misfortune Dunk stumbles into, but luckily he finds a young squire, Egg, who decides to follow him into peril, if necessary. The strong, but decent and honest Dunk and his outspoken and smart squire remind me a little bit of Don Quijote and Sancho Pansa.

Nice and harmless fun for the fans of "A Song of Ice and Fire"

The magic of Westeros

I thoroughly enjoyed these gems of a bit more „normal“ life in Westeros, the characters are, as per usual, well built and the speaker was able to carry the moods and tensions well.
In short, I loved all of it.

Lovely stories of life as a hedge knight - with a twist

It’s a good little story. Author ranges in volume a lot and is sometimes hard to understand.

Not as good as GOT but entertaining

Story lines were a bit mixed, but went on for long enough while driving from Austria to the south of France.

OK if you have a long drive.
