This is awesome news! I'm so excited about more folks becoming familiar with this prequel to ASOIAF! Are you working on Dunk and Egg in parallel with TWOW?

Good to hear, ser! I just ordered on Amazon this morning. Now waiting impatiently for it to get here. :)

I love these stories and read them all in the various anthologies in which they appear, but having them all together in one place is really cool. The pictures REALLY make them! Super fun to read. Love seeing Dunk's sigil!!

Don't worry about bestseller lists.I sure your "Son of Kong" is going to break them all.

What wonderful news. Congratulations, and to the wonderful artists.

Got it downloaded to the NOOK and can't wait to start it this weekend. Love all you write and trust me, I am old enough and geeky enough to know. (as an aside, sorry you lost to Zelazny all those years ago, but I think he is also the cream of the crop
I'll let you know when I finish, not that you give a goats bobo. :)

Omg I'm just building a massive exhibit of your books for my future man cave

I love finally having the three stories in one book, and the illustrations really added to the experience. Kudos to Gary Gianni! It made it feel like reading one of Howard Pyle's books, if he were still around!

It's such a beautiful book. Holding off reading it right away as I'm savoring the moment. However congratulations on it's #2 positioning. It would be fun to see if HBO has intentions for this guy down the road

I saw the nice coffee-table edition (hardback) in my book shop in Copenhagen, at least it felt anf looked like a coffee-table book. My point, it's really really nice!

I bought the hardback from the bookshop last weekend, and finished it last night. Unlike, it seems, most other people, I had never read any of the D&E stories before. I have to say, I absolutely bloody loved them! While I adore the main A Song of Ice and Fire series, there's just something about these stories; the way they marry the spirit of classic adventure tales with rich mythology and enough grit and realism to keep things grounded. At the end of a long day, this is the exactly the kind of book I want to get lost in until the small hours.

The only problem was, at the end I wanted more!

Is the next D&E story finished?

The illustrations are amazing. Got a chance to meet Gary Gianni at NYCC last week, such a nice guy and very talented as well. Was able to show my appreciation in person. Kudos to the person who made the decision to have him illustrate the book.

Will bloodraven appear again in any future dunk and egg novels?

I am really frustrated on how long I wait for the book to come to Egypt
