A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

I prefer the Dunk and Egg stories to Game of Thrones. Dunk is a better protagonist than anyone in caught up in the crazy war for the Iron Throne and the stories about him are more hopeful and noble.

The Dunk and Egg novellas are about the old Targaryan line a couple generations before whole Khaleesi/Stark/Lannister throwdown in Westeros. A Hedge Knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his squire, Egg, travel Westeros looking for fortune and adventure and getting a lay of the land.

I really wish GRRM would hurry up and pump out a few of the stories he says he is working on, the stories that are promised to us at the end of this volume.
