Publisher's summary

A Musketeers feature-length special! The sequel to The Man in the Iron Mask...

Seventeenth-century France, two years after D'Artagnan's death: Deep beneath the Palais de Versailles, Aramis is shocked and astonished by the directives of D'Artagnan's Legacy. To follow, he must betray his honour, his King and, perhaps most damning of all, his fellow Musketeers. The Sun King will be eclipsed by darkness once more...or can the ageing Musketeers really reunite, for one last time - for the glory of France?

Enjoyable enough

I want to first mention that I got this book for free in order for me to write a review.

I enjoy a good Musketeer story, that being said I am not knowledgeable on the original story. Due to this I am not sure if this is a rework or an original story. My issue though it that, to my knowledge of the limited Musketeer stories I had rear and watched, they have been grounded in reality. This one did as well... until it did not.

Also, the narrator has a phenomenal voice but I sometimes had issues telling the character voices apart (which was one good reason it is read as a script).

All over the place

I was very excited to see some additional story, even if not written by Dumas. Unfortunately this goes completely off the rails. Not worth the money or the read. Would like my $5 back. Good voice from the narrator but that couldn’t save this.

did not feel true to story

The liberty's taken in this modern extension really bothered me. Dumas wrote my favorite series, but this fan fiction threw out so much of what the stories were built on.

Internal voice is best and the professional reader for Dumas' series was about as perfect as possible, but this reading largely placed emphasis incorrectly and words were mispronounced.

It would probably make a fun action movie, but I would hope that it was done so in the context of the protagonist's dream and not as a continuation of Dumas' work.
