Our view
“Twenty Years After” reunites Alexandre Dumas’s musketeers for another swashbuckling round of plots, loyalty and royal intrigue. The light, adventurous tone carries over from the first book, and the friendship of the old companions is still the story’s heart. Some readers find it longer and more cartoonish than “The Three Musketeers” and miss a villain of the same stature. It is the second of “The d’Artagnan Romances” and leads on to “The Vicomte de Bragelonne”.
