Amazing read! I have still to be upset by a Stuart Gibbs book. But, unlike all the others I’ve read by him, it was a lot much less of a mystery, at the same time a lot more of a adventure. Nothing wrong with that, though. I exactly advise it at the same time can’t wait to read the one more one!

As a 3 Musketeers fan since I was 12 years old, I was obviously shocked to read this brand new time take a trip story, in what a 21st century little boy travels back to France of the premature 17th century, befriending the future musketeers, Athos, Porthos, at the same time Aramis. Creator Stuart Gibbs’ impetuous paced, action-packed tale may but appeal to present’s tweens, but I couldn’t promote but be upset in the method he interprets Dumas’ traditional story for the 21st century.
The story starts off healthy, with a terrific 1st sentence that will grab no matter what young reader: “Clinging to the prison wall, Greg Wealthy understood how he hated time take a trip.” On a trip to Paris with his generic to sell the generic’s treasured heirlooms to the Louvre, Greg at the same time his ancestors are pulled through a time warp, zigzag up in 1615. When his ancestors are falsely imprisoned for trying to destroy the young Louis XIII, Greg must bail out them–by meeting up with 3 children like himself, Aramis, a young cleric, Athos, a fighter from the reduce public exercises, at the same time Porthos, a foppish wealthy young boyar who’s the indefinite of the party. Greg himself becomes understandable as D’Artagnan (in the unusual a fish-out-of-water himself, as a bumbling, hot-headed guy from the distant province of Gascony. Connect in a nefarious brother of Categorical Richelieu (the Categorical being a central disposition in Dumas’ novel), at the same time a young Milady de Winter (the unusual villainess in the 3 Musketeers), no one tropes of fantasy fiction (a stone that grants never-ending indefinite), at the same time voila! a 21st century musketeer rehash.
Gibbs does a quality job with the whole fish-out-of-water time take a trip tropes, with Greg numb by the darlings of Paris, the privies, at the same time the fleas, in the middle others. The book of matches in his pocket make the 17th century manners he meet think he’s a sorcerer, as does his ability to swim. That’s plenty of action, as Greg at the same time his new-found comrades swashbuckle their method to saving Greg’s ancestors. At the finish, they don’t move back to the 21st century, which makes me think that Gibbs has a sequel up his sleeve.
While I can’t promote but appreciate no matter what creator that brings Dumas’ manners to the attention of 21st century kids, I couldn’t get over several configurations to the unusual story that drove me crazy. First of all, the creator keeps referring to Greg being in medieval Paris. While the streets of Paris might have been identical to the method they were considered in the middle Ages, 1615 is that exactly not counted the Center Ages, at the same time I wonder how such a glaring error managed have escaped the Harper editors, not to mention the doctor of French history who Gibbs thanks in his acknowledgment for vetting the manuscript. 2nd, at the same time than anyway worried me more as a fan of the unusual novel, which I couldn’t promote wondering if Gibbs had actually read, he exchanged abundance main parts of the musketeers’ personalities. For example, Athos, or the Conte de la Fere in the unusual, was a member of the nobility, not a ubiquitous fighter, as Gibbs makes him out to be. Appearing as a young lady, the disposition of Milady de Winter doesn’t make sense with that name, since she is that implied to have married an English sovereign right behind having been married to Athos as a young lady. Also, it’s not very believable that 14-year old boys could be produced guards of the lord! No matter what young personality who reads this at the same time goes on to read the unusual Dumas is that going to discoverer the abundance inconsistencies, which I barely don’t think were considered necessary. At the same time by turning the somewhat non-individual Greg into D’Artagnan, Gibbs saved one of the funniest at the same time almost all memorable manners in the book, the young Gascon around whom the plot unfolds.
In short, while I enjoyed the concept of this story, I reckon the reprisal managed have been much more successful, simply by keeping more to the unusual outlines of Dumas’ immortal manners. Chagrin, I don’t think that Gibbs’ configurations to the basic manners really additional to the story, but more precisely detracted from it. It will be exciting to look if a sequel is that in the making.
