There are times when I guessed that, unless someone know the plot from the books, they'd be clueless as to what was going on. Viggo Mortensen makes an excellent Alatriste, and the chap playing Olivares was brilliant. Some great set pieces, as well.

I have a book in the unread book mountain, "In the Name of the King" by A.L. Berridge set in 1640 France which you may want to check out.
