A must buy for Alatriste lovers!
The characters are so vivid that this book will leave you wanting to read more, if only to find out more about their lives. The history of the time is expertly melded with vigorous action. It captures a magic that has only been dupicated by Perez-Reverte himself. Buy it and this tale of honor and deceit with leave you breathless.

A fantastic suspense novel
Perez-Reverte's style has not developed into the masterful form it will become, yet this novel more than hints at greatness. The story is well thought out. This is an intelligent whodunit for those ready to be captured into a unique literary world of history and suspense. This mystery is hard to put down and will leave you guessing until the very last page.
