3.0

Di D'Artagnan avevo un vago ricordo (molto vago), derivante dalla serie a cartoni animati. Il libro è stato una lettura piacevole, dove la realtà storica (Luigi XIII, Richelieu, l'assedio de La Rochelle) si mescola agli intrighi e alle avventure e disavventure dei quattro moschettieri. Uno per tutti, tutti per uno.

Este é um livro de aventuras, heroísmos e uma grande amizade.
Personagens com características muito únicas.
A intriga é fantástica, rica de nuances.
Não sabia o impacto do papel da Milady nesta história.

I have to admit, after reading The Count of Monte Cristo, this story comes as more juvenile and underwhelming. But I see it as a great entrance into the Dumas' writings. If I was younger, I'd probably be more into the story. The action truly never stops. Characters are very colourful and distinctive. And it is somewhat refreshing seeing a woman as a main antagonist. However, it does leave wanting more of a development.

Not a single movie is even close to being accurate in telling the Three Musketeers. An adventure containing love, loss, conspiracy and loyalty, the villain is not always the villain, and the lady is sometimes Milady.

Still my favorite book. This time around I listened to it and I picked up on another section I really loved ("Demons don't die so easily"). And as I was reading/listening to it did occur to me that this book is really about Milady. Yes it's about D'Artagnan, but Milady is really the driving force behind pretty much everything (either the cause or doing the bidding of others). It's something I didn't quite pick up on the last three times I'd read it. It goes to show that 1. this is still my favorite book, 2. Dumas is still my favorite author, and 3. what makes 1 and 2 is the fact that I can re-read this book years apart and still pick up new things.
