El Capitán Alatriste se ve inmiscuido con la Santa Inquisición. Más un pretexto para exponerla que una aventura, este libro no me agradó tanto como los demás, pues tiene menos acción. Aún así, es bastante interesante.

Entretenidos, se leen casi sin darte cuenta, y se disfrutan mucho :) Creo que este me ha gustado incluso más que el primero.

I read the whole thing and was still waiting for the story to start. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get into it. The book is the second in a series (of which I haven't read the first), but it all just felt like prologue to me.
janetlun's review against another edition
Sword-play, honor, revenge, and the Spanish Inquisition � oh, my! Definitely liked many elements of it, but the thorough explanation of everything is tiresome. It was probably a coincidence, but I read this just after reading Jo Walton's essay, SF reading protocols. She put it better than I can:[return]http://www.tor.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=blog&id=58637

I finished Purity of Blood by Arturo Perez-Reverte this morning.
Captain Alatriste and his young ward Íñigo are back with more intrigue from Madrid in the early 17th century. Honor-bound to help an old friend, the captain narrowly escapes a trap, but Inigo is caught up by the captain's enemies who are working with the Inquisition. The story is told by 13-year old Íñigo, who adds glimpses into his future and the captain's, including his crush Angélica, the daughter of Alatriste's sworn enemy.
