I got an early copy of House of Rougeaux from NetGalley in exchange for feedback. My impression of books from sites that give away books for review is that the books there are not always ‘wow’. The covers are enticing, the blurbs even more so. But then the stories mostly turn out to be narratives where the authors simply don’t know what they are doing. (I was new to the Netgalley scene at this point and the whole intro seems so tone-deaf, to be honest. XD But I’ll keep it for self-introspection sake. :P)

The Sworn Sword by George R. R. Martin | Book Review
The Hedge Knight was the first in the Tales of Dunk and Egg series. Being my first graphic novel and because of my interest in Game of Thrones, the novel had some serious expectations to meet. Meet it did, and how! If this is how graphic novels are (I know not all are the same), then I’m all in! The Hedge Knight was responsible for setting the bar pretty high – something that the sequel, The Sworn Sword would have to live up to.
The Hedge Knight by George R. R. Martin | Book Review
There are two reasons why I decided to buy and read The Hedge Knight.
1) I follow Game of Thrones, the TV show, religiously. [I haven’t read the books. Don’t bash me. I intend to.]
2) I’ve been wanting to start reading graphic novels for a while now. /
And since The Hedge Knight seemed like a convergence of these two, it seemed like a safe bet to start 2018 on!
