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.

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.

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.

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.

Love asoiaf and this did not disappoint. It was amazing to see the characters in the way they were portrayed.

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.
