Reddit reviews Warriors

1. "Bloodraven" is the nickname of Brynden Rivers, one of the bastard sons of Aegon IV (a Targaryen King often called "Aegon the Unworthy"). Aegon IV was notorious for not only having a ton of bastards, but for officially giving them official status on his deathbed. Bloodraven was influential during the First Blackfyre rebellion as the lord of whispers and a sorcerer loyal to the Targaryen king Daeron, and later went on to be the hand of the king under Aerys I after the war. Bloodraven's history is explained in the "Dunk and Egg" novelas.
   
   
2. The Blackfyre Rebellion was a war between two branches of the Targaryen line; the Targaryens and the Blackfyres. The Blackfyres were an offshoot that formed under Daemon Blackfyre, another of Aegon the Unworthy's bastard sons. Aegon IV gave Daemon the family sword, Blackfyre, and legitimized him on his deathbed. Daemon "Blackfyre" later began a war with his half brother Daeron Targaryen over who should legitimately rule the seven kingdoms. You can find more information about this stuff in the Dunk and Egg novelas.
   
   
3. The Tales of Dunk and Egg are a series of short stories that take place after the Blackfyre Rebellion. They were all published in separate collections of fantasy stories. Here are the original works in which they were published: this one contains the first novella "The Hedge Knight", this contains "The Sworn Sword", and this contains "The Mystery Knight". As of right now, these are the only three novellas that have been published. However, you are in luck! In 2015, the Dunk and Egg novellas are being republished in one volume from what I understand. Also, a fourth novella is going to be published soon(ish), so you can get your Westeros fix in a ton of ways. There are also other prequel novels set in the world of ASoIaF that you should check out, but I think you can find them in the sidebar of this wiki.

In case the other answers aren't quite clear: the three Dunk and Egg stories are not available as books: they're novellas that are available only as part of compilations. Scour the sidebar to your right, and you'll be led here.

That entry is slightly incomplete: The Hedge Knight is also available in this compilation of GRRM's works.

Warning: The Warriors and legends anthologies were giant hardback books that at least in some countries, were split up into two volumes each for paperback publication. It looks like Canada wasn't one of those countries, so you don't need to worry about this, but check the description to make sure each book you buy has a GRRM story in it.

Eh, I'll do it for ya: 1, 2, 3.

As for future reprints: there was going to be a new Dunk and Egg story (possibly called She-Wolves of Winterfell) in an anthology that was initially to be published over a year ago; not only is that book delayed, but the Dunk and Egg story ain't going to be in it. The plan was for the first four stories to then be packaged up and reprinted as Tales of Dunk and Egg Part I.

This is presumably still going to happen, but it's years away: as long as it takes to write Dunk'n'Egg IV and publish it in an anthology, then a year for the exclusivity clause in the anthology deal, then we get the book unless it's decided that additional material is needed.

They don't print any new stand alone copies of the novellas, but they are available in different compilations. Who knows, maybe you'll be turned onto other authors/series.
The Hedge Knight
The Sworn Sword
The Mystery Knight

These are the ones you need:

Legends: Discworld, Pern, Song of Ice and Fire, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, Wheel of Time https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0006483941/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_8pelub008MMTJ

Legends 2: Eleven New Works by the Masters of Modern Fantasy: v. 2 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0007154364/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Gqelub1W29M2S

Warriors https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0765334771/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_3qelub19F8HB3

It can be a bit tricky to find them. The stand alone books are absurd expensive. The full anthologies are the cheaper option.

For The Hedge Knight

Hope this helps.

Yeah I noticed that too :/ You can get them cheaper though

http://www.amazon.com/Legends-Stories-Masters-Modern-Fantasy/dp/0765300354/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_5 Contains The first story.

http://www.amazon.com/Legends-II-Novels-Masters-Fantasy/dp/0345456440/ref=pd_sim_b_5 Has the second story

http://www.amazon.com/Warriors-George-R-R-Martin/dp/0765334771
has the last story.

[Legends] (http://www.amazon.com/Legends-Stories-Masters-Modern-Fantasy/dp/0765300354/)-Featuring The Hedge Knight-$18.20

[Legends II] (http://www.amazon.com/Legends-II-Novels-Masters-Fantasy/dp/0345456440/)-Featuring The Sworn Sword-$

Warriors-Featuring The Mystery Knight-$11.17

Dangerous Women-Featuring The Princess and the Queen-$21.52

Just so you know, the last one is not a Tale of Dunk and Egg, but a story about the Dance of the Dragons. The next one is The She-Wolves of Winterfell, which has been delayed. Also, Legends II doesn't seem to be available new, so I didn't include a price. Finally, the graphic novels have been announced for a re-release, so the price for those should go down soon, as new copies are printed.

I also just want to say, it's really insane how far Martin has come. A decade ago, no one would have thought that he would be the selling point of those books. Now, his stories are the most popular of the anthologies.

The Warriors anthology put together by GRRM and Gardner Dozois.

You might also consider the anthology "Warriors" edited by Martin.
