Book Review: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
As some of you know, I'm a big fan of the Game of Thrones series (AKA The A Song of Ice and Fire Series ), and, like many fans, I've been waiting a long time for the sixth book in the series -- The Winds of Winter -- to come out. The last book in the series was published in 2011, so, as you can imagine, fans are getting a little antsy. However, all you Game of Thrones fans out there can get your Westeros fix with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms , which was released earlier this year. George R.R. Martin's latest novel is a compilation of the Tales of Dunk and Egg, a set of three novellas that were written between 1998 and 2010. As a bit of background, Knight takes place about one hundred years before the events in A Game of Thrones and follows the story of Dunk, "Ser Duncan the Tall," and Egg, Aegon Targaryen. Most fans consider it to be a sort of prequel, for lack of a better word -- although, it's really just a story set in the same universe. Howeve
