It's 1661 and Louis the XIV is taking over the reign of government from his ministers. D'Artagnan is captain of the Musketeers, Aramis is now a bishop, Porthos is as big, strong and hungry as ever and Raoul, the son of Athos, is still madly in love with Louise De La Valliere. What we do see of Aramis he is plotting and scheming and has a strong interest in a mysterious prisoner in the Bastille.

The fourth in The Three Musketeers series. This novel takes place at the royal chateau of Fountainbleau, outside of Paris, and the imagery of the novel and the descriptions of this serene, yet regal estate inspired my travels to France this past summer. I visited Fountainbleau, and I could envision Dumas's characters at play all around me as I meandered through the majestic halls and elegant quarters.

The second third of the third Musketeers book. Pretty damn boring, honestly. It spends alot of time setting up some very simple things that didn't need so much effort, and neither Louise nor Louis XIV are very interesting characters in it. Nonetheless, very important as setup to the greater story, and still certainly readable.

Decent continuation in the Three Musketeers franchise.....not quite as powerful as three musketeers, twenty years after, or ten years later, but still quite good...
