Our view
“The Sworn Sword”, the second of the “Tales of Dunk and Egg”, turns two lords’ quarrel over a river into a story about loyalty and honour. Some rank it a step below the first tale, with less time spent getting to know the pair, and some note that the action waits until close to the end. Readers who value it point to Dunk’s growth and to the Westeros history glimpsed behind the dispute.
