A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

BOOK REVIEW

Title: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Author: George RR Martin Rating: 5 / 5

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compiles three novella's about the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall, better known as Dunk, and his loyal squire, Egg. Set in the world of Westeros from George RR Martin's ASOIAF series, it can still be enjoyed as a standalone. Yet I would highly recommend this book to any fans as a must read.

I enjoyed diving back into this world on a knight's journey, during a more prosperous time under Targaryen rule. The bright atmosphere of pavilions raised at Tourney's, accounts of untold heroes, and differing perspectives of Westeros' political players and commoners were wonderful. You can really feel GRRM's love of medieval history and jousting, with descriptions so vivid and exciting. The Trial of the Seven was so incredibly epic. Beautiful Illustrations from Gary Gianni bring even more charm and life to the written words within.

This book asks what does it mean to be a knight? What makes a true knight?

Through Dunk we find the answer as he strives to embody the qualities of a chivalrous knight who protects the weak and innocent. Even though he is lowborn, his deeds and attitude highlight the rotten corruption of the lords and knights who easily hold their titles. Honourable, loyal and admirable in standing up for what he believes to be right.

Due to his nature Dunk can be naive and oblivious, making for some hilarious situations. That is compensated for by the smarts and confidence of his loyal squire. Given the nickname Egg due to his shaved head, the small boy completes the amusing dynamic of this wholesome duo. I adored their relationship and camaraderie.

This book was epic, moving and tragic but also had many unexpected light hearted moments. The only downside to this novel is finding out that GRRM has planned out more novellas about this lovable duo that are still yet to be freed onto the page. And so my wait begins.

"A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms", my Duncan The Tall sigil. Drawn on the iPad Pro with Adobe Draw and Procreate. 🤓 Duncan The Tall is probably my third favorite character in the Ice & Fire universe so I moved this sigil up on the list. I'm not a fan of the color scheme, but it's true to the text so there ya go. This went through so many iterations. I'm gonna do another one on physical paper just for myself. #ASongOfIceAndFire #ASOIAF #GameOfThrones #GOT #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms #DunkAndEgg #DuncanTheTall https://www.instagram.com/p/B1yPenSJGPG/?igshid=1irksa7eg6109

#SerDuncantheTall This is the personal banner for Ser Duncan the Tall who rose up from the nothingness of a hedge knight into the annals of history as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. This is supposedly the shield that Brienne found at Tarth, which hints at her lineage. Duncan's stories are a slow burn of character and very specific historical events. The banner is an elm tree with a green shooting star on a sunset field. This is one of the rare banners where I actually use blending (its in a few others but not many). I wanted to to this one right, so I ended up doing a full practice banner to get the blending right. It was one of the last one I finished since it was pretty daunting. I don't jnow if #GRRM will ever finish Duncan's novellas. He'll probably have to settle for Duncan's story in Fire and Blood II. #gameofthrones #aknightofthesevenkingdoms #got #asoiaf #asongoficeandfire #forthethrone #georgerrmartin (at St. Louis Park, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwrffmQAwaU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qqfdpd15zto1

Saw #aknightofthesevenkingdoms #gameofthrones s8E2. Not much plot progression but good in showing preparation though monotonous. #jennyofoldstones song good. #Brienne knighting good. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwkIjDYA2at/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rf99kqn8phbw
