S. I. (RedHeadDread) reviewed on 9/24/2008 + 43 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

Less of an adventure story than the other Alatriste novels I've read, this one is more a lament for the plight of the Spanish infantryman of the time as he represents the common man, the spanish character, and the common solider. Good and well-written, but not as delightful or entertaining a read as the others.
