The Vicomte de Bragelonne by Alexandre Dumas
5.0
This is probably one of my favorite books. I’m writing this review to encompass the entire “Vicomte de Bragelonne” story which is three books and 260 some chapters.
The overall book is an epic. It tells the final stories of the Musketeers, the new adventures of Athos’ son, and the beginnings of Louis XIV reign. All of these stories intertwine and all come together to form one complete narrative. This first volume follows several characters but mainly D’artagnan as he has a scheme to reinstate a monarchy and profit in the process. In the periphery there is Athos completing a royal favor, Louis XIV gaining his first taste of power, and Raul interacting with the next generation of characters. I understand why some might not be able to get through the whole book, as it is three volumes and 1800 some pages, but you have to stick with it and it will all be worth it. This book has suspense, romance, tragedy, betrayal, political intrigue, etc. Essentially everything that you want in a story.
If you’ve read Twenty Years After and are wondering whether you should continue, you must. You’ll be so glad you did. This is a true classic. If you have finished this one move on to Louise de la Valliere.
