I've never read the stories of chivalry and the famous gloomy Middle Ages. I have never felt any attraction to the genre, thinking that it was boring and more for the male audience. But let me tell you, I was so wrong! When I got this book for the Christmas, I decided it was time to try out something new, something that is not in my comfort zone. I'm very glad! This was one crazy adventure, roller coaster of emotions.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a book that includes three novellas covering the story of two heroes 100 years before the events in the series Game of Thrones. The story follows the Egg, and Dunk and their journey through the amazing world of George R.R. Martin. Like all of Martin's books, this one was cruel and harsh, but at the same time beautiful. An incredible relationship and friendship between the two main characters and their concern for each other, was beautiful. It showed me that it not all dark in this gloomy world, where it is difficult to live.
Of course, as always, the world was beautifully developed and explained. These three short stories gave me more insight into what is the real knight and why they choose that way of life. How to deal with adversity, obstacles on the way? Is it better to have someone with you? Is it worth abandoning your principles and all your friends in order to preserve your own life? These are just some of the questions that you will get the answer by reading this book.
All in all, the book is beautiful. I really recommend it to everyone, because it is full of emotion and incredibly real even though it takes place in the fictional world. Anyone can find something that will suit him.
Rating: 5/5*
