Hedge Knight II: The Sworn Sword by Ben Avery, George R.R. Martin

3.0

The Sworn Sword is in my opinion a step down from the origin story of the Hedge Knight. While character development is throng and we get to see a more mature Sir Doug, there is a pacing problem that is diluting the good parts of the book. Specifically, there is not much happening in the first half except from exposition and expectation setting for the much more interesting second part. If you can get through this overlong hurdle then the rest is worth a read.
