There's so much background in this story that it's almost like it's not about Dunk at all. Hedge Knight II Sworn Sword is as much about the world and it's history as it is about the main character and the primary story that is being told. It makes the story feel real.
There's something about Dunk that really makes me want to root for him. He's not the smartest man. Any decision he does come to is after a long an labourious process. He's not the most eloquent man. He often doesn't know what words to say. What he is is noble. Not in the sense of the man he's sworn his sword to, or in the sense of his rival Ser Lucas. Dunk has a sense of what it is to be loyal and how to do the right thing. Even when he doesn't have all the tools to follow his sense through.
I'm giving it a 4.
