The Sworn Sword: The Graphic Novel

As good as any of the series. Loved it.

10/10

The adventures if this odd couple, are best describes as a boys own story. The plot is breezy with none if the harsh dialogue that you have in SOF&I. That being said it feels connected to the stories if the seven kingdom's, and is an excellent companion piece which stands on its own two feet. Enjoy!

This is a great book. It is a pre TV series by a long time, so will not mention the characters in the series or books, but it will give you a flavour of the series. It is a stand alone story, but so far there are two books in this series. Graphic novels are like comics, but do not be put off they are far better than comics,

The Sworn Sword is the sequel to The Hedge Knight graphic novella set in Westeros 100 years before the events of the Song of Ice and Fire books of GRRM. The story follows the main characters Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg into the Reach, which plagued by a terrible drought, as they serve a beggared lord whose house is on the brink of ruin. For those of us who can’t get enough of this world it is a quick fix until Mr. Martin decides to bless us with more original content. The story is somewhat lacking, but at least with this medium you don’t have to sink days into it only to come out disappointed. The artwork is of high quality but the story was quite lacking at not even particularly exciting, nor were the characters very convincing. If you really cannot wait, try this.

I read this on the kindle. I'd never read a graphic novel before. And honestly, I'd kind of gotten bored of waiting for Martin to bring out further books. So I didn't have any expectations when I read this. And I'm glad I bought it and the one before it. The artwork was well done. The stories were enjoyable without being over the top. More importantly, I enjoyed the kindle format for reading a graphic novel. The ability to double tap to read each pane individually brought the artwork/story forward and made it... more. I look forward to more stories of Dunk and Egg.

I am must be missing something obvious here as I seem to have bought a comic, and not a novel at all??????? Maybe everyone is chuckling away at my stupidity, but I grew out of comics 50 years ago, and can't see an alternative version.

if you've read the game of thrones series and need something while waiting for the next books to come, this is great. Only down side was i flew through it in less than a day. But good to reread. I don't normally read graphic novels but loved it.
