Congratulations on finishing ADWD, AKA the best novel of the five novels so far (totally not controversial). But wait, there's so much more out there!

A few months ago, I, along with lots of people who pointed lots more stuff out to me than I knew, created a ASOIAF Resource post where you can find all there is to know about ASOIAF.

Some highlights for you:

You finished the 5 ASOIAF books. Great! But there's more ASOIAF-universe material out there. Have you read Dunk & Egg, The Princess and the Queen or the Rogue Prince? And do you know about The World of Ice and Fire: GRRM's History of Planetos? Furthermore, it's a universally accepted fact that your re-read will be much, much better than your first read. Here's some links!

Hi! Congratulations and welcome to the Watch!

You might be wondering right now about what to do next while waiting for the 6th book to come out, so here are some suggestions.

GRRM already published some sample chapters from TWOW over the years. Here's some information about them and links to most chapters.

There are additional novellas that take place in this world. The Dunk & Egg stories take place about 100 years before the main series and are about a hedge knight and his companion. The Princess and the Queen and The Rogue Prince are historical retellings of the Dance of the Dragons event. They're somewhat drier reads than D&E because they're from the POV of a Maester chronicling these events but I really liked them personally.

My favorites, on the other hand, are the amazing analyses and essays being written about these characters and their stories:

  • This 5 parter is about Dany's arc in ADWD, about how she's actually a really good and successful diplomat and ruler and about how her character is changing by the end of the book.

  • A Dragon Dawn: A Complete Analysis of the Upcoming Battle of Fire is a comprehensive dissection of the various factions and subfactions converging in Meereen by the end of ADWD and a prediction about how the battle will go down in TWOW. These two essays about Meereen completely changed my perspective on the last book, on Dany and generally about how insanely complex this plotline really is. Made me respect Martin even more.

  • Blood of the Conqueror is currently being written by the same author as the previous one I mentioned and it's about Aegon's invasion. I saw you didn't like the Jon Connington arc, so I suggest you give this a read (especially parts 2 and 3), it might shed some light on how much it really fits the narrative and it's not that out of place.

    There are many, many more of these if you liked them. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Have fun!

And don't forget " THE PRINCESS AND THE QUEEN, OR, THE BLACKS AND THE GREENS: Being A History of the Causes, Origins, Battles, and Betrayals of that Most Tragic Bloodletting Known as the Dance of the Dragons, as set down by Archmaester Gyldayn of the Citadel of Oldtown".

Why are you reading Spoiler All threads!!!???!!! :-)

Yeah, there are four prequel novellas right now. Unfortunately, they aren't available together - you have to buy them in anthologies that include a bunch of other stuff (although some have standalone graphic novel adaptations). It's enough of a hassle that a lot of people don't bother. Hopefully eventually at least the Tales of Runk & Egg will be published in one volume.

Their titles are:

The Hedge Knight, published in the Legends anthology

The Sworn Sword, published in the Legends II anthology

The Mystery Knight, published in the Warriors anthology

The Princess and the Queen, published in the Dangerous Women anthology

Based on her liking the Auel books, I'd bet she'd dig the trilogy: Namaah's Kiss, Namaah's Curse, Namaah's Blessing by Jacqueline Carey. They're all pretty thick and interesing in world-building, female-centered fantasy type.

Has she read the Dunk & Egg stories (a.k.a. The Hedge Knight series) and other prequel stories to ASOIAF? That would be a nice treat for a big fan of the series, if she doesn't have them all yet. It's tricky, because the stories are currently broken up and scattered across a few books, haven't been compiled into one (yet). And, bonus, she'd get a bunch of other stories by other great sci-fi/fantasy writers in those, that may make her discover and fall in love with another series.

Legends I

Legends II

Warriors

...and not directly the 3 main Dunk and Egg stories, but other ASOIAF prequels in these:

Dangerous Women

Rogues

Beware: with the "Legends" ones, if you get PBs instead of the HC edition, the first "Legends I" was broken into three books for PB release, Legends 1, Legends 2, etc., which can get confusing considering they later put out a "Legends II". So, if you get the mass market PBs on those, you could wind up with a shorter version that doesn't include the right stories ASOIAF fan is looking for.

I'm excited for the 35k words by GRRM. Here's a link for Americans. http://www.amazon.com/Dangerous-Women-George-R-R-Martin/dp/076533206X

u/Chaoss780 · 2 pointsr/gameofthrones

They are such short novellas (I think the Rogue Prince is like 30 pages?) that I just took them from my school's inter-library loan system. You probably know this already, but for anyone else, The Rogue Prince is printed in Rogues and the Princess and the Queen is published in Dangerous Women.

Both are good, but only if you're a die-hard asoiaf fan. The P&Q especially gets confusing despite its very short length.

u/GunnerMcGrath · 2 pointsr/Fantasy

This is the first I'm hearing of that book, but from what I can tell they split the anthology into 3 paperbacks but originally it was one hardcover, which you can buy here:

Honestly I'm surprised with how much you keep up with Brandon's work that you didn't grab this one up when it first came out. =)

[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.

If she's not terribly bothered by spoilers, having her read Aftermath (the last entry in Side Jobs) might be a good "it's worth it" way.

Another non-book entry that may be useful if she's spoiler-averse would be Bombshells (from Dangerous Women) - Tells the story of how Molly got her killer bachelorette-pad.

(both of these stories are obviously post-changes - so there is an element of spoiler - but Bombshells is much less overt about it)

That said, it's certainly possible that Butcher's style just isn't for her - I wouldn't pressure her too hard.

Until the next season? Oh you sweet summer child, you will give no fucks about the next season of Game Of Thrones once you discover what it is to wait for The Winds of Winter. I suggest you pace yourself - TWOW looks like coming out late 2014, although there are also the three Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas and the soon-to-be-released The Princess And The Queen novella.

u/BourbonOK · 1 pointr/asoiaf

On a cool note, GRRM is releasing a 35,000 word novella focusing on the Blackfyre Rebellion in a compilation book due out in December. As well if you haven't read the The Hedge Knight series of Novellas (Super good, so check them out if you haven't) they explain it in that a little.

Umm...Hold up. I know this...

Ah yes, here we go. Dangerous Women and Rogues .

u/heretoforthwith · 1 pointr/gameofthrones

Was about to post the following, then I decided to see if anyone had already mentioned them. Posting for the links in case they help out:

I'm going through my second read now, and after this I plan to gather all miscellaneous stories. First, the Dunk and Egg stories in Legends I Volume 2, Legends II, and Warriors. Then the Princess and the Queen from Dangerous Women, and Everybody Loves a Rogue from Rogues. I'm hoping this will last me until World of Ice and Fire in October (I'll read the entire anthologies, not just the ASOIAF material). I also have other things to read in the meantime, Peter Watts has a new one coming out, and I want to check out some of the other stuff mentioned here, like the Abercrombie books, Rothfuss, and Sanderson.
