Reviews with the most likes.
In some ways I think this is the weakest of the Captain Alatraiste books so far. While I enjoyed the atmosphere created in this book, this one does not move the over all arch of the characters as much as the first two books without their nemesis working in the background against them. I'll be interested to see if Perez-Reverte goes back to the court intrigue of 17th centry Spain. Or if he stays in the side story of Flanders in the coming books.
