The terrific Captain Diego Alatriste series continues with "The Cavalier in the Yellow Doublet." For me, this was one of the best books in the string. Besides the expected informed commentary on the decline of the Spanish empire, 17th Century court politics and early Spanish literature, this novel has an unusually good plot, with enough uncertainty to keep the reader interested to the last page.
The Inigo Balboa narrator/character grows in voice and interest as his passion for one of Alatriste's arch enemies grows from puppy love to the real, carnal thing; and as he is accepted as a young adult by the rest of the cast of characters.
Author Perez-Reverte's great strength in these books (in my opinion) is his delivery of a range of characters that seem authentic, even in their extremes of heroism or villainy. The good guys are both principled and honorable (by their own standards) men and women, but have no compunction about killing or selling their virtue when duty, honor or upper mobility requires it. The black hats are also just acting according their own ends-justify-means standards.
"The Cavalaier in the Yellow Doublet" has plenty of snap and zing for any reader of action novels, and enough intelligence, wit and interesting social and political history to satisfy readers looking for something more complex. Excellent book. Recommended.
