The Hedge Knight (A Game of Thrones)

Once you get the hang of highlighting the frames,(simply move your thumb lightly on the side of the page and the frames will appear sequentially), this is wonderful. The art work is very good and the story loses little from the actual novel. What is gained is a different experience and a thoroughly enjoyable one. All the graphic novels I have glanced through in bookstores pale into insignificance with this elegant and exciting presentation. Recommended to anyone who needs more GMM whilst waiting for the next instalment.

This excellent tale from the redoubtable George RR Martin is beautifully illustrated by Ben Avery. A mighty collaboration. So why only 4 stars? Surely it rates 5? Well, maybe it does. It might just be me, but I experienced some hesitation in following the text bubble sequence. Something did not flow easily for me - not as it would normally when reading this sort of book. And I do read a lot of books. Hopefully this will not reduce your enjoyment, but it did mine, a bit. Hence 4 stars. Be interested if others find the text bubble arrangement problematic. Comments invited. If you enjoy the works of Ben Avery or GRRM, this will probably suit you really well, since both do an excellent job here. I am waiting eagerly for the paperback edition of the next in the series: Sworn Sword (The Hedge Knight): 2 Of course, you could always go for the hardback version: Sworn Sword (The Hedge Knight): 2 "Hedge Knight" is recommended for its beautifully detailed depiction of a story of knightly valour and human values.

This novel compliments the song of ice and fire, series of books. The pictures are so vibrant and beautiful

A short story set in the Seven Kingdoms roughly 100 years before the beginning of A Game of Thrones. An enjoyable read with some truly likeable characters.

Lets get straight to business !! Art work : The art work in this Graphic Novel is great But, there is little too much of it if you ask me. A graphic novel should not only look good, it should be a great read aswell. Pot/ Storyline : The storyline was good but could have been way better. there is only two major twists in the story so i felt cheated let down by that. In this, the Targaryans are making the trouble, aswell as sceaming and plotting. Once they know that Ser Duncan has defended his potential love interest from a young cruel prince and they both have to have a trial of the Seven the hole story falls into place from there. Characters : You get to see some characters that you never seen before and from your favourite houses to. E.G Daemon Lannister (the Grey Lion), Lyonel Baratheon (the laughing storm), Pearce Caron, Gawen Swan and Baelor Tagaryen and his family and Some Kingsguard. If it wasn't for the plot, some of these characters could've done a lot more. Overall: I will think about getting the second graphic novel.

The Hedge Knight is a short story written by George R.R Martin that expands on the world of ASOIAF. Set 100 years before the main story-line shown in Game of Thrones, it follows a hedge knight named Dunk as he journeys to Ashford to take part in a tournament. The plot is well written and this adaption in comic-book form has amazing artwork, a real page turner and a must have for all ASOIAF fans.

It’s a comic!

This is a stunningly executed, and a fascinating addition to the A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series. I would have given this 5 stars, but I was reading this on Kindle Paperwhite. I've now learned this is not the best device for graphic novels. Even though I have 20/20 vision, the text size is often so minuscule that some sections are unreadable without magnification. The zoom function on my Kindle Paperwhite is jerky and awkward which detracted from my overall enjoyment. Aside from this, I loved it.

Absolutely loved it. GRRM's plot of ASoIaF is so vast that it provides numerous story opportunities based on timelines and regions. This is a prequel story set in Ashford (within the seven kingdoms only) around 100 years prior to current ASoIaF events. An uncommon story of a common hedge knight "Duncan The Tall" and his squire "Egg". This is a graphic novel adaption of the novella by the same title, there are 2 similar sequel novella with Dunk & Egg's adventures and how it affected the entire seven kingdoms. This is the beginning of all that. A beautiful and almost perfect graphical adaptation which includes all the interesting points from the actual book with awesome illustration. I love the story, it's so simple yet interesting and since you know the entire history and traditions of seven kingdoms already so it picks up from the first page itself. The end had the scope of another interesting stories in the future, which turned out to be reality. Overall it's an awesome book for ASoIaF fans.

The paperback edition of this book is excellent quality considering the very low price. Solid story - I'll definitely be buying the follow-up paperbacks.

Buena relación calidad-precio

Das Buch an sich ist super! Und mit 99c auch echt preiswert. Leider habe ich nur ein Kindle Keyboard, die IPhone App und die Windows 8 App. Der Comic ist farbig und somit scheidet das Kindle Keyboard zum Lesen aus, da es nur schwarz-weiß ist. Ich hatte mich schon auf das Lesen auf dem großen PC Monitor gefreut, aber das geht nicht :-(. "Buch ist mit dieser Leseapp nicht kompatibel", oder so ähnlich. Jetzt lese ich auf dem IPhone und ärgere mich sehr, denn das tolle Buch kommt auf dem kleinen Bildschirm gar nicht zur Geltung.

I'm not sure why anyone would buy this thinking that its anything other than the comic; thats why we READ the product description first and/or/maybe the title? Anyways, I received this very promptly via Amazon Prime, and am much pleased by the purchase. The illustrations are beautiful and rich in colour and the pages are of good quality. Its an excellent graphic adaptation of GRRM's Hedge Knight and would recommend this product for those who are big fans of the Ice and Fire series as well as George R. R. Martin's work.
