Having said that, I did thoroughly enjoy the adventure. Dumas has a wonderful narrative style that I found quite modern. The characters are deeply flawed but there is just something fun about them. They are the true embodiment of "swashbuckling."
I grew up loving the 1993 film and was surprised

The Musketeers and their newfound friend who joins the Kingâs Guard are fondly delineated - Dumas clearly loved Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and DâArtagnan. Their word is their bond - they truly believe in death before dishonor. They will always fight for one another.Â
As expected, the callow DâArtagnan goes through the change from unsophisticated rube to gallant Musketeer. The growth that is more illuminating, though, is that Athos goes from a self-destructive drunk to a man with a firm hold on his future. Instead of spending his time and money in foolish pursuits he matures to have a more serious outlook. The scene of him locked in a wine cellar for a week, drinking everything within, is really funny but the Athos at the end of the book wouldnât behave as irresponsibly.Â
Iâve loved these characters for years and and am happy I again chose to go through 800 pages of their adventures.Â

Historiallisessa romaanissa seurataan neljĂ€n kekseliÀÀn muskettisoturin joukkoa 1600-luvulla, kun kuningatar Annalla on ihailijoita ja vakoojia ympĂ€rillÀÀn, katkera kardinaali Richeliu juonittelee valtaa ja kuningas Ludvig XIII on yksinkertainen ja epĂ€luuloinen hahmo vailla omia ajatuksia.Â
D'Artagnan on nuori, nĂ€yttĂ€misenhaluinen naiivi poika, joka pÀÀtyy vanhempien muskettisoturien lĂ€hipiiriin, kaikki ylimpiĂ€ ystĂ€vyksiĂ€ keskenÀÀn.Â
Athos on totinen alkoholisti, joka ei anna palvelijansa puhua ja joka
Aramis on hÀmmentynyt uskonmies, joka loistaa muskettisoturina miekkoinensa ja jÀrkensÀ avulla, mutta joka haluaisi vain keskittyÀ Jumalaan.
Porthos on ulkonÀöstÀ ja rahasta kiinnostunut, ensimmÀisen ajatuksensa toteuttava hahmo.
Mylady on vahvasti niin tarinaan ja hahmoihin kuin maan historiaan vaikuttava hahmo. Nyt tekisi mieli lukea sama kertomus, mutta Myladyn nĂ€kökulmasta! HĂ€nestĂ€ olisi paljon sanottavaa, kirjassa hĂ€net selitettiin sillĂ€, ettĂ€ hĂ€n on pahaksi syntynyt juonittelija, saatanan lĂ€hettĂ€mĂ€ paholainen naisen viekoittelevassa ruumiissa.Â
Kuten aiemmin lukemassani Monte Cristossa, oli tĂ€ssĂ€kin vahvasti teemana kosto.Â
