The Hedge Knight: The Graphic Novel

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.

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

I have always been of fan of George R. R. Martin's Westeros even before the books were made into HBO series. But, I think these stories of Dunk & Egg are my favorite of all. Having read the book, I wanted to read the graphic novel, especially after seeing the colorful interior. At 184 pages, not a page disappoints. Attention to detail and artistic continuity continue from frame to frame (in some ways, I think it pays more attention to details than House of the Dragon). Obviously, the story is somewhat reduced for the graphic novel, but in no way does it diminish any of the key elements. In fact, it made up with the quality of the art. At the time I am writing this review, I am sitting in anxious anticipation of The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms series to debut. I only hope it can live up to the high bar this graphic novel has placed! For fans of the A Song of Ice and Fire series, this is a must-read. It offers a refreshing look at Westeros through the eyes of characters who are just everyday people —just a hedge knight trying to do what's right in a harsh world. Great for newcomers, and also appropriate for a younger audience.

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.
