Latest blog post about Dunk and Egg show
quote:
A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, for starts. It’s done. Ira and his team wrapped the first season months ago, and moved right on to post production. I’ve seen all six episodes now (the last two in rough cuts, admittedly), and I loved them. Dunk and Egg have always been favorites of mine, and the actors we found to portray them are just incredible. The rest of the cast are terrific as well. Wait until you guys meet the Laughing Storm. and Tanselle Too-Tall.
A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS is an adaptation of “The Hedge Knight,” the first of the novellas I wrote about them. It’s as faithful as adaptation as a reasonable man could hope for (and you all know how increedibly reasonable I am on that particular subject). Viewers who are looking for action, and more action, and only action… well, this one may not satisfy you. There’s a huge fight scene here, as exciting as anyone could ask for, but there are no dragons this time around, no huge battles, no white walkers… this is a character piece, and its focus is on duty and honor, on chivalry and all it means. “The Hedge Knight” was published between A GAME OF THRONES and A CLASH OF KINGS in Robert Silverberg’s epic anthology LEGENDS, and was so popular that it brought tens of thousands of new readers to Westeros. Sales of my novels were much higher after LEGENDS than before, and for that I credit Silverbob, and Anne Groell, and Dunk and Egg. This one ranks as one of the best stories I’ve ever written, and I am so so so pleased that Ira Parker, Ti Mikkel, Aziza Barnes (may they rest in peace), Owen Harris, and our astonishing cast and crew did right by them.
The series will make its debut late this year, I am now told. How late, I could not say. Maybe in the fall. I hope you will love the show as much as I do.
Meanwhile, we’ll be moving on to “The Sworn Sword,” the second tale of Dunk & Egg. And once I finish THE WINDS OF WINTER, I will need to get hopping on “The Village Hero,” and all the other tales that await the lads. Don’t worry, I am sure you folks will remind me.

I rarely find myself on Team Diabetes but I make an exception in this case.

Friends, I finished a dance with dragons over the weekend. Started the series sometime in the fall.
Amazing work. Just started the dunk and egg series this week and guess I’m waiting on winds like everyone else now.

I’m no longer waiting.
I know how it ends, and all my big questions have been answered.

I am baffled that this thread still lives.

New Wild Card book came out last week, perfect time to catch up on that other series.

Read like 8-10 of those years ago. Loved the presidential convention one with Puppet man guy? When the alien protagonist (blanking on name) got body swapped then his grandkid went uh way to far that was a bit too much and think I stopped shortly after. Some of those were impossible to find too.

There are some of us that were late to the party. I watched the show but never read the books.
Now that Audiobooks are available through Amazon Music, I've been listening to these from the beginning. I just got to the Red Wedding today.

Hope you liked the ending to Dance, because that's all we're getting.

Feel like I'm never getting to A Dance of Dragons with the pacing in A Feast for Crows. This book is slow and besides Cersei, boring.
Posted on 4/10/25 at 1:04 pm to kballa6
I feel like most people liked ADOD more than AFFC, but I was the opposite. I lied book 5 better with book 4 being my least favorite by far. And honestly, Cersei's prison time being my least favorite of all. My God I get sick of her just whining and crying for chapters on in.
The other frustrating part of the later books to me was he would start off so many chapters in a dream or warg POV. I love the books, but there were a few annoying things about them.
Not a fan of how the story ended though

I know this doesn't help you now, but I really appreciated AFFC more the second time I read it. You notice a lot more little items that seemed unimportant the first time around. Also, it helps doing the Boiled Letter order where you essentially read AFFC and ADWD at the same time.

It’s “boiled leather” edition, isn’t it?
Posted on 4/10/25 at 3:38 pm to CCT
Yeah, I was thinking leather in my head the entire time, but I think my fingers just wrote letter.
Posted on 4/10/25 at 4:07 pm to DestrehanTiger
Agreed boiled leather reread is way to go. There is like one Jon part of the story that is a bit wonky iirc but made it so much better. As others said Feast is MUCH better on reread or side by side with Dance. All this said I’ll never reread it sadly cus we’re never getting more books ??.

I've heard this as well. The Arya parts are interesting I guess but the Dorne parts are tough. I think I'm not giving it the focus it deserves because of the horrible storyline in the show. I need to go back through those chapters when I'm done.
