Bald King Arthur and His Oafish (but lovable) Knight


It's going to be hard to write this review, mainly due to the fact that I had written a nice lengthy review of the three novellas that make up Martin's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, that was unfortunately deleted a couple months ago. 

But such is life.

We've reviewed collections of stories before and we calculate the score of those compendiums based off the average score of each writing involved. With this grouping of the Dunk and Egg stories, it will be no different. So without further ado, here is the shorter version of the original review we lost, a couple months ago and never originally got to publish.
