A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin
5.0
4.5 stars! It was lovely jumping back into Westeros after several years since reading GOT5. I fell in love with Dunk and Egg's adorable relationship and I've developed some satisfying headcanon based on them (and some other characters introduced in this collection). The Targaryen family tree came to life right before my eyes; many little tidbits I recall from ASOIAF were fleshed out and made significant. In a word: delightful.
This being a compilation of 3 novellas, I can understand that there would be a bit of slight disconnect between the storylines of each. For the most part, transitions were seamless. However, there were moments where the plot/character motivations didn't make much sense. One particular moment confused me moving from the first story into the second: Dunk's painted shield (the one with artwork done by Tanselle) was magically still intact after it was shattered in the Trial of Seven at Ashford. Altogether though, this was a quick and enjoyable read :)
This quenched some of my GRRM thirst but of course I'm still left feeling bereft without a GOT6 release date still...
