About this listen
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.

Critic reviews
"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)

Volume control
One second this guy is screaming, the next he is whispering so quiet I can barely make our a word. I constantly have to change my volume.
The story is awesome though, I should've read.

The plight of a Prince and his foolish knight.
Good book which follows the formula of the unwilling hero blundering through a plot much bigger and more complex than his simple self. Not earth shattering but a good read. Only gripe is that the narrator sees fit to narrate Dunk's internal thoughts with whispers which while great if your reading it yourself, does not lend itself to easy listening un audiobook form.

Dunk the lunk, thick as a castle wall...
loved it!
I do own the physical book and have read it before, enjoyed it so much I thought I'd get the audio version for my commute.
Fantastic narration and how he embodies the characters is just wonderful. Especially Dunk and Egg.
Overall it's lighter in tone than A Song Of Ice And Fire, which makes for an easier read, but some of the darker elements are still alluded to.
My one complaint is that it can be difficult to follow some of the supporting characters in the first and last story, as there are just so many of them and trying to remember who's who, what their names are and where their alliances lay can become confusing. That being said it didn't diminish my enjoyment and the narrator does remedy this somewhat by giving all the characters different accents.

Dunk and Egg
Enjoyed being back in the world of The Game of Thrones! A nice easy read after the intensity of A Song of Ice and Fire.
I loved hearing the names of great houses we have come to know from the series and characters we already know of, like a Targaryen maester in training!
All in all a sweet story of an unlikely friendship!

Decent
Iv read all the asoiaf series and needed more, this sufficed. Expanding on the world we already know, it's a great side story set in the land of targaryen rule, exploring rebellions and sowing the seeds of the ultimate downfall of the house. Referencing familiar characters like maester amon and blood raven. Definitely worth it, good entertaining narration too, he nails it.

great set of short stories
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Great compilation of the Dunk and Eg short stories. Very funny with a great look at the world of Westeros before The War of the Usurper

An excellent tale of early Westeros
Story and narration were great, it's a tale of a poor Hedge Knight working through a difficult and troubled life in a very different yet familiar Westeros.
The story had me cringing and wanting to shout at the characters at times, just like GoT.
