This is the last book in the series that starts with The Three Musketeers. I haven't read any of the books in the middle, just the first and last in the series.
Even though it's titled "The Man in the Iron Mask", don't let that fool you. Said man is only a minor character. He isn't in half the book, and doesn't have an iron mask for most of the part of the book that he is in. This book is about the four musketeers that we got to know in the original book.
I really don't have any beef with any part of this book. Sure, it was confusing at times, especially when the characters talked about politics to no end. I also didn't understand some of the character's motivations for doing the things they were. Even so, it really felt like a quick read. At the same time, I didn't feel involved or really that interested in the story at all. It was sort of nice to get a window into the lives of these characters such a long time (35 years!) after the initial book. For that reason, I can only somewhat recommend this book.
