The Mystery Knight: A Graphic Novel

love the art. The pacing. The packaging was perfect

Tales of Dunk and Egg are always a treat for aSoIaF fans. I have read the first 2 graphic novels of the series and they were absolutely brilliant. That was the reason I was really looking forward to the release of this and I must say it was worth waiting. The best thing about these graphic novels is that being the adaptation of novellas they cover the story fairly well. You don't get the feeling of being rush through the story as it often happens in case of a proper novel's graphical adaptation. Obviously you won't like it just because of that until the story itself is interesting enough. Writing a novella is a different kind of challenge but I must say that "SER GEORGE" of House Martin is as good with knives as he is with swords. I have said this before but it is often happens that the extended stories of a famous series are not as impressive as the actual series; I am glad that this is not the case with Tales of Dunk and Egg. In fact I will say that if the first 2 stories were very good then it is even better, certainly the best of the series. The beauty about this series is that you already know so much about the seven kingdoms, their people, life-style and traditions that you can read any of the 3 stories individually (though it is always better to read them as a series). This time the story started with Dunk and Egg heading towards Winterfell as lord stark was in need of some more swords. During the journey they came to know about a nearby lord's marriage and related tourney so they decided to join. The winning prize of the tourney was a Dragon's egg but things were not as simple as they seem from far. There is a bigger plot behind all this which goes deep within the politics of seven kingdoms. Obviously Dunk and Egg got involved in all this and it turned out a real fun. The artwork is as good as it was in previous issues. The colors this time are even better. I love the new characters as well but I was hoping the end to be a bit different as it's presumably the last part of the tales of Dunk and Egg. Surprisingly it was just like last 2 stories. Though this particular story is complete but there is a scope for more stories because Dunk and Egg's journey is not finished yet. I would like to read few more of them. Specially SER Duncan's quest/dream to be a kingsguard is really intriguing. Come-on George! we demand for some more of your knife-skill. Nonetheless a well deserved 5 Star for this

In marked contrast to the ASOIAF comics (A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings) which are kind of rubbish, the series on the Hedge Knight really delivers, and this one is no exception. If you liked the previous ones, you should get this. If you don't, don't buy it, you won't like this one either. If you don't know the first two, get them first, or you'll not understand anything.

El libro es el original. Las ilustraciones hacen que la lectura sea muy placentera

Papel de calidad, muy buen diseño y una historia simplemente genial (a la altura de la primera) que encantará a todos los fans.

The Mystery Knight is the third installment in the graphic novel adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s “Tales of Dunk and Egg,” and it delivers a satisfying blend of intrigue, action, and Westerosi lore. The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg as they become entangled in a tournament full of hidden agendas and political tension. The artwork is detailed and dynamic, capturing the gritty medieval feel of the world. Mike S. Miller does a solid job bringing the characters to life, though some readers may prefer more variety in facial expressions or panel layouts. The coloring enhances the atmosphere without overwhelming the line art. The pacing is quick, which works well for graphic novels, but some of the nuance and background from the original novella gets lost in translation. That said, this adaptation still captures the heart of the story—its themes of loyalty, deception, and the burden of knighthood. Whether you’re a longtime A Song of Ice and Fire fan or new to the Dunk & Egg tales, this is a worthy addition to your collection. Just be sure to read the first two (The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword) for full context.
