A review by kriiztiyan
Louise de La Vallière by Alexandre Dumas

4.0

I’m reading the 4 part edition of this last book of the musketeers and it’s evident that this last book has “two” stories: The old generation political stuff and the new generation love affairs. Dumas focused a little bit more on the young characters on the 2nd and 3rd parts which I founded a little bit ... disconcerting at first because I was too attached with the magnificent four from the previous two books.
But after some chapters I couldn’t help to get into these huge love intrigues that started to tangled between the young guys, because Dumas has such a magnificent way to tell stories! The small subtle humor, the dramatic expressions so commonly found on classic books but somehow with a unique tone ...

I enjoyed the personalities of the “new” characters: Raoul (the best one ofc), Madame Henrietta, Louis XIV, DeGuiche, Buckingham (jr ;P) Saint Aignan, Manicamp, Malicorne, Montalais ... ofc not as much as our Musketeers cause I LOVE those, but yeah ...

idk I’m loving the book and can’t wait to know how everything ends
