I loved the Three Musketeers by Dumas so I thought I would enjoy this revisit just as well, however, it didn't have the same joie de vie that 3M had possibly because Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan weren't as together as they were in the original tale. Also it didn't seem fresh that their enemy turned out to be the son of Milady from the original. It was a fun read, just not as much as the Three Musketeers. Changing my previous rating of 3 stars. It took me a little while to warm up to this sequel to "The Three Musketeers" but it was worth perservering! Once again, our 4 friends have become embroiled in court politics, this time involving Richelieu's successor Cardinal Mazarin. I had a little trouble identifying all the people as some of the historical characters were unknown to me yet were presented with little or no explanation. Thank goodness for the internet! Also a little puzzled about Porthos -- I don't remember him being such a strong man (he is almost a Hercules or incredible Hulk in this book!).
If you only know “The Three Musketeers” you owe yourself the pleasure of spending some happy evenings with “Twenty Years After.” Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D’Artagnan may be older and their hair starting to gray, but they’ve lost none of their romance and grandeur.

All in all, I was pleased by this sequel. It's a worthy continuation of The Three Musketeers, quite entertaining and full of swashbuckling derring-do. ( )
