This book is a good introduction to philosophy and philosophers for people familiar with the Song of Ice and Fire series. Since I've read the comics guide to philosophy, and have been a reader of existential comics for a while, most of the ideas and concepts were not really new to me. Most of the essays were pretty good reads, but I thought the one by Stacey Goguen about the problems at the core of the concept and code of chivalry was outstanding. I was also greatful that one of the essays by Henry Jacoby was able to answer my question of what the difference between a phenomenal zombie (or p-zombie) and a regular zombie is.
