This was a weird one to read. I've loved all of Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series, so this story, set in the same universe, seemed like a natural fit. And it was a good story, definitely, but it didn't have the same feel as the Song, aside from the ending. And, with it set a century before the other books, all of the house alignments are different, and the political landscape is radically different as well.

Taken on its own, however, the tale of Dunk the Lunk from Flea Bottom, and how he became Ser Duncan the Tall, is an interesting if not overly remarkable tale told by one of the masters of modern fantasy.
