Rezension von LucyThe first part of The Vicomte de Bragelonne was a pretty good start to the final section of The Three Musketeers series, though at times it felt a bit slow. It was nice to see d’Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis again, but this time the story focuses more on politics and courtly intrigues rather than thrilling fights and adventures. I particularly enjoyed Raoul de Bragelonne, Athos’s son, as he slowly comes into his own. D’Artagnan’s plan to restore Charles II of England to the throne also had some exciting moments. However, there were parts that dragged on—Dumas goes into great detail about political events, which isn’t always gripping. My verdict: A decent start, but not as captivating as the previous books. Still, fans of the Musketeers and those interested in the era of Louis XIV will likely enjoy it. ⭐⭐⭐✨ (3.5/5)
