Captain Alatriste

Stereotypical adventure novel where the main character is typical aging battle hardened superstar. This is one of those books you get the feeling of already having read dozens of. There are some historical characters but none of them, nor the fictional ones have much depth on them.

BUT I might still continue the series just to see are there any surprises at all in the plot. Plus, this is of course a good snack after some brainworm like Dostoyevsky.
