What Amazon Says:
Set 100 years before the events in George RR MArtin's epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Hedge Knight chronicles a young squire as he travels the cruel and complex path to knighthood in the Seven Kingdoms. Shouldering his fallen master's sword and hielf, Duncan (or Dunk) is determined to reinvent hismelf as a knight in a nearby tournament. But first Dunk needs a sponsor, and that requirement sends him down a road studded with friends, foes, adventure, and hidden agendas. One such friend is Egg, who becomes Dunk's squire, yet even he may hold secret motivations of his own. In the second graphic novel, Dunk and Egg continue their journey in search of the fair puppeteer Tanselle. Along the way, the elderly knight Ser Eustace takes both men under his charge, alongside another knight - and this one promises trouble. Peace is ever elusive for Dunk and Egg, as they are soon embroiled in the schemes of local nobility, while a darker, greater thread threatens to unravel long-held truths of the Battle of Redgrass Field.
These were pretty good. I love seeing other glimpses into Martin's world of my favorite series, and I am determined to read all of them. They are quick reads and I finished both of them in an afternoon. I enjoyed the story and the art. Glad I read them.
Stars: 4 (for both)
