    Anyone reading this?

    Three novellas featuring the characters of Dunk and Egg were just collected for the first time (previously published in three different fantasy anthologies). It's set 100 years before the events of A Game of Thrones; one of the characters is a descendant of someone familiar to us (it's not much of a spoiler, revealed very early in the book and in most synopses of it, but I won't say who).

    I'm really loving it so far - just finished the second novella. It's a great way to get your GoT fix while we're waiting for the new season/book, and it is something that both book readers and non-book readers alike can pick up. Highly recommended.

    Read the novellas along time ago. All three are excellent and integral in the whole ASoIaF story. Enjoy guys.

    Yeah, read them all a good while ago. Might pick up a copy for a re-read and I hear the illustrations are beautiful.

    I got this last week and I'm really taking my time with it so I can stretch out my fix for as long as possible. I'm about a third of the way through the 2nd novella. It was worth that wait to get all 3 of them into the one book.

    It's brilliant, such good fun :)

    I read the first two comic adaptions of the stories a while ago, will have to check out the new collection and read the stories in their original form.

    C'mon, season 6...

    Oak and Iron, guard me well!

    Dunk is so likeable because he's essentially a brawler with no formal training who beats some of the best-trained knights in the realm.

    I read them ages ago when they were released in various anthologies but I got the new book just to have them all in one place.

    I plan to get the audio book of it too - its read by Harry Lloyd (who played Viserys Targaryen in the tv show) so am looking forward to a listen to that!
