Title: Much Ado About Not Much
Product review: Captain Alatriste is the first in a series and, like a lot of series, you're really rooting for it to be a barnburner so you can go right out and buy the next one and then wait breathlessly for the one after that. Unfortunately, this is not the case with Captain Alatriste. The problem is that there isn't enough of Captain Alatriste in Captain Alatriste. It's told through his own Sancho Panza, Inigo, his steady sidekick, who has stories of his own to tell. But those stories only distract from the main story, which is paper thin to begin with. Throw in a lot of songs and poems and you've got a sleepy reader.
