The Purity of Blood by Arturo Pérez-Reverte

2.0

If I could give a minus rating I would. Coming to this from a Sharpe/Aubry reading background I expected better. Alatriste has a pistol (never used) , stabs his enemies, is attacked by a woman (belt her in the mouth already!). Like Cornwall's Uthred novels organized religion has WAY TOO MUCH power and ,in Britain, the Spanish inquisition has Monty Python overtones. I hope it gets better (higher body count would help).
