A full-color graphic novel edition of The Mystery Knight, one of the thrilling Dunk and Egg novellas from George R. R. Martinโs A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a prequel of sorts to A Game of Thrones โEvery wedding needs a singer, and every tourney needs a mystery knight.โ Westeros is eerily peaceful. King Aerys I sits on the Iron Throne. A ravaging plague has abated. Yet beneath the surface, tensions linger sixteen years after a failed rebellion. In these restless times, noble hedge knight Ser Duncan the TallโDunk, to his friendsโand his precocious boy squire, Egg, travel the Seven Kingdoms performing chivalrous deeds, though Eggโs bloodline must be concealed at all costs. After heading north for Winterfell, Dunk and Egg are lured off the kingsroad by a wedding feastโand an unusually lucrative tournament. The champion jouster will claim a rare trophy indeed: a dragonโs egg. Dunk, always better in a melee, would be satisfied with a hot meal, a cup of wine, and a purse full of coins. But a treasonous plot is more likely to hatch before another dragon ever stretches its wings. Someoneโs on to Egg. And a mystery knight with designs on an even bigger prize soon throws the entire affair into chaos. Review: Lovely tale - Can't 2ait for nore adventures with Duncan and egg. The stories are full of comedy, mystery and action. Enjoyable reads indeed Review: A Fantastic Visual Adaptation for Dunk & Egg Fans - The Mystery Knight is the third installment in the graphic novel adaptation of George R. R. Martinโs โTales of Dunk and Egg,โ and it delivers a satisfying blend of intrigue, action, and Westerosi lore. The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg as they become entangled in a tournament full of hidden agendas and political tension. The artwork is detailed and dynamic, capturing the gritty medieval feel of the world. Mike S. Miller does a solid job bringing the characters to life, though some readers may prefer more variety in facial expressions or panel layouts. The coloring enhances the atmosphere without overwhelming the line art. The pacing is quick, which works well for graphic novels, but some of the nuance and background from the original novella gets lost in translation. That said, this adaptation still captures the heart of the storyโits themes of loyalty, deception, and the burden of knighthood. Whether youโre a longtime A Song of Ice and Fire fan or new to the Dunk & Egg tales, this is a worthy addition to your collection. Just be sure to read the first two (The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword) for full context.

Ren Faire Meets Medieval Times
The story of Dunk & Egg is my favorite from the Westeros universe. I've been a huge fan of the novellas, and was very impressed with this adaptation into the comic world! The art is stunning and full of detail and color, and the story is written in a way that encompasses the essence of the story without taking away key elements. At the time of me writing this, the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has just begun to air, and I hope that the show continues to hold up to the quality that this Graphic Novel has placed on it. The other two storylines have been released in paperback, but The Mystery Knight has only been released in hardback. I do wish the others had been released in HB. Highly recommend for any fans of the GOT world, Ren faire enthusiasts, or if you enjoy reenactments (i.e. Medieval Times). The price seems to be holding steady ( and it'll be interesting to see how it changes in relation to the show releasing), so it's just up to the individual if it's in their price range. But HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great Story But Reprint Uses Cheaper Paper
Less mythic and more of a political thriller than previous entries but still a wonderful addition to the Hedge Knight Series. The intricacies and scheming were dribbled out in the right amounts without giving the game away. Dunk and Egg still a natural pairing. Only reason I give it 4 stars is because I just bought an extra copy recently and at some point the publisher decided to go cheap with lower quality paper and production (pages stick together at first). If they were going to do that they should have released it in a new "cheapie" edition, i.e make it clear to potential buyers that there was major change like this from initial printings.

Loved it. I highly suggest reading.
There was nothing I disliked about the Hedge Knight series. Easy to follow and fun to read. I highly recommend reading.

Great end for a trilogy
Way better than sworn sword, lot more interesting things going on and conspiracy unraveling. Kinda wished egg was more developed. Duncan finally having proper proper plate armor is refreshing.

Dunk and Egg series is great.
If you like ASOIAF, or the Game if thrones HBO franchise, these graphic novels are right up your alley. Makes a good gift for someone you know who is into those things too, just find a way to check they don't already have the series.

What Can I Say? It's George R R Martin!
Not only is this part of the best fantasy series I've ever read, but it is my favorite related saga - the tales of Dunk and Egg. Very nicely illustrated in pen and ink (I favor pen and ink drawings for books) and the stories are a great read. I've read them twice now, and I am sure that in another year or two I will want to read them again. The product quality was good, and Amazon is a pro at shipping books so that they arrive in good condition.

a visual feast with a good story
As a fan of graphic novels in general and being a fan of George R.R Martin and owning the 4 volumes of the Game of Thrones graphic novels and of the orginal novels this is a great addition to any one of other fans of either graphic novels or any fans of this particular author, the art work is flawless as is the concept all in all a very good read, gone are the days that comic books or graphic novels were just for kids they have now evolved in to something else entirely with something like this it is basiclly just like seeing a film but on paper when youb think about it it is visual and with words just like a film on tv is really instead of the actors speaking the words on screen with this you have the same effect only you have the visual effects but with the actors speaking to you of the page basiclly a script but with pictures.

Perfect Adaptation
Tales of Dunk and Egg are always a treat for aSoIaF fans. I have read the first 2 graphic novels of the series and they were absolutely brilliant. That was the reason I was really looking forward to the release of this and I must say it was worth waiting. The best thing about these graphic novels is that being the adaptation of novellas they cover the story fairly well. You don't get the feeling of being rush through the story as it often happens in case of a proper novel's graphical adaptation. Obviously you won't like it just because of that until the story itself is interesting enough. Writing a novella is a different kind of challenge but I must say that "SER GEORGE" of House Martin is as good with knives as he is with swords. I have said this before but it is often happens that the extended stories of a famous series are not as impressive as the actual series; I am glad that this is not the case with Tales of Dunk and Egg. In fact I will say that if the first 2 stories were very good then it is even better, certainly the best of the series. The beauty about this series is that you already know so much about the seven kingdoms, their people, life-style and traditions that you can read any of the 3 stories individually (though it is always better to read them as a series). This time the story started with Dunk and Egg heading towards Winterfell as lord stark was in need of some more swords. During the journey they came to know about a nearby lord's marriage and related tourney so they decided to join. The winning prize of the tourney was a Dragon's egg but things were not as simple as they seem from far. There is a bigger plot behind all this which goes deep within the politics of seven kingdoms. Obviously Dunk and Egg got involved in all this and it turned out a real fun. The artwork is as good as it was in previous issues. The colors this time are even better. I love the new characters as well but I was hoping the end to be a bit different as it's presumably the last part of the tales of Dunk and Egg. Surprisingly it was just like last 2 stories. Though this particular story is complete but there is a scope for more stories because Dunk and Egg's journey is not finished yet. I would like to read few more of them. Specially SER Duncan's quest/dream to be a kingsguard is really intriguing. Come-on George! we demand for some more of your knife-skill. Nonetheless a well deserved 5 Star for this

As good as the others
In marked contrast to the ASOIAF comics (A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings) which are kind of rubbish, the series on the Hedge Knight really delivers, and this one is no exception. If you liked the previous ones, you should get this. If you don't, don't buy it, you won't like this one either. If you don't know the first two, get them first, or you'll not understand anything.
