Status Updates From The Son Of Porthos Or, The ...

why is everyone talking well about Louise? I literally hated her 💀

"The King had never forgotten the tragic episode in his youth, (...) Its object, it will be recalled, was to seat on the throne the elder and twin brother of Louis, who was incarcerated from his majority in the Bastille and terminated his wretched life in another prison..."

It still bothers me sm to this day that Aramis' plan failed, he'd calculated all sooo well, but ahh things ended up badly-

"Nay, Aramis is no more. He is dead with his three companions in arms, three friends– three brothers! Aramis has gone into the dust with Athos, Porthos and d'Artagnan."

Aramis?! 👀

I'm so mad at Aramis STILL scheming in this book. Dude, didn't you learn anything from the mess you made in Man in the Iron Mask?

This is definitely more captivating read immediately after the former. There's names and events I failed to place the first time around but now it's all still fresh in my memory.

This will be my 100th read for the year and I think it's pretty fitting, being the conclusion to The Greatest Series of All Time. <3

Ah my heart rejoices to hear stories of my old friends again! I like that this is a new chapter, but has a healthy dose of the past to keep it well-knit together.

Nope, I am sold on this one too. Dumas might as well have written it, everything is the same in this seamless continuation.

To be taken with a grain of salt. I HATE seeing Aramis in his old age, but at least he is still alive and plotting as happily as ever.
