Martin's continuing adventures of Dunk and Egg in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire (the reason I bought the book).So far, I'm pleased. Neither novella was astounding, but they were both quite good stories that are worth reading. The Dunk and Egg story I liked, though I thought it was peculiar that Martin didn't include a character that I could freely despise. Perhaps Ser Bennis (I'm not spoiling anything by telling you his name...) was meant to be that guy, but he didn't even touch the level of hatred I have for Gregor Clegane or Joffrey and Cirsei Lannister. Dunk is a great character, though, and it's fun to read from his point of view, even if this story didn't involve a huge tournament and Westeros' most fearsome knights.The only other novella I'm looking forward to is Elizabeth Haydon's, I've read and liked the first book in her series...and the new authors that I haven't read before. The other returning authors don't do much for me (nor does Terry Brooks), especially not Robert Silverberg, the editor. His story in the original Legends was pretty boring, I thought, but hopefully his new one will actually resemble interesting.Anyone else picked up Legends II? Or are people waiting for the cheaper tradeback version?</blockquote>
