sophia_liber's review against another edition
5.0
Maravilloso clásico. Ninguna de las versiones cinematográficas que he visto le hacen justicia. Me chocaron dos personajes, una Milady, increíblemente malvada e inhumana, se dedica bastante del libro a conocerla de manera profunda y otro el cardenal Richelieu , ese personaje tiene un lado que no conocía y valora y hasta estima lo que D´Artagnan representa. Y lo que nunca imaginé fue que este libro me hiciera llorar al final, la camaradería de los cuatro mosqueteros es increíble.

I really wonder whether Dumas actually wrote this novel or whether it was one of his aids, who wrote it. I never thought D'Artagnan would end up being a despicable man and Athos a ridiculous parody, but that's how they appear here. In the book only D'Artagnan makes plan and solves problem, which is completely ridiculous, given the resources of both Athos and Aramis. Also there isn't a really good villain as in the first book, which makes it terribly weak on all accounts. Two stars is the maximum a could give to this terrible downer.

I loved this like the first one, even if I can understand why some other readers did not like it. The narration is pretty like the first book, but I loved how the musketeers were "well aging", showing new features of their nauture.

this reminded me why Alexandre Dumas is one of my favorite writers/authors (classic or not) of all time

I believe this to be superior to the Three Musketeers. Better character development and more nuanced antagonists.

Un filo inferiore, secondo me, a I tre moschettieri ma comunque uno spasso! Sempre grandiosa la scrittura di Dumas, raffinata e leggera, mai banale o fuori tono.

Like The Three Musketeers, this book is just a lot of fun. It's adventure after adventure. I liked the journey to England and the story involving Charles I and how that related to Paris. I do think it could have been tightened up a bit but that is me speaking from the modern world.
