Hooray! I knew it had to do with that magnificent bastard, Richelieu.
I like Pérez-Reverte's portrayal of Monsieur le Cardinal better than Dumas'. He comes across as a tougher nut, more... regal? More conscious of his place & role? Somehow grander. It's difficult to describe the vibe other than 'he be a tuff nut.'
Now all this book is missing to be a Three Musketeers: Spanish Version is Milady & Bonacieux.

Well . . . is that all?
This felt too short, surely there's more pages missing from my copy?
If there's a literary equivalent to blue balls, this ending comes close to it.
Surely there's more pages missing!

That duel was disappointingly short.
Iñigo and d'Artagnan can't be killed because this isn't the time & place, but if Iñigo is obviously better at swordfighting due to more real experience on the battlefield as opposed to salon soldier Artagnan, then their duel should've been more epic.
Instead, it was I stab you there and you stab me here, and we call it even.
Even fanservice isn't done so well these days. :'(

Uh? When did Iñigo and Angélica do the dirty? They're barely 18 in this book, and haven't seen each other in three years! So I either need a refresher for the previous books, or I'm misunderstanding "poseído."
Trust Spanish to have a double-entendre word that can mean both possessed and lovemaking. 🤣
Love this language.

Hahaha, Alatriste broke Athos' nose. Big Milady fan, been wanting that for so long. Now, don Arturo, have Iñigo break d'Artagnan's ribs, please.
I never knew the Huesca cathedral was like Notre Dame! o.O
Pérez-Reverte is having the time of his life mingling his characters with Dumas'. If Richelieu is here, this may be the best in the series yet.
When are they translating this for the crowd that failed Spanish? :D
