At first glance, I thought it was a retelling of the Musketeers, with the abusive nobles, the poor people who work for them, upon reading further, well there is still that lingering thought, but because of the way this is written, there is no time to compare, you are immediately dragged into the story!!!!
The heroes of this one called Greatcoats most notably the First Cantor Falcio Val Mond and his companions Kest (the best swordsman of the land, you will get to know the truth as you read further) and Brasti (best archer), as I've said Three Musketeers, although the choice of weapons is different, same scenarios fighting for the downtrodden, those evil nobles plotting against the rightful King......oh wait, the already succeeded in killing their King.......so nobody dares to go up against them, see same story but the bad guys have won already!!!
Don't get me wrong, even if there are some similarities, Mr. De Castell in my mind was able to pull it off, always something same but he writes it differently, that you seem to forget the sameness, instead you become engrossed!!!
You need to read this because as simple as the plot, through reading and finishing, the story beckmes deeper and more heartfelt!!! Three Musketeers, bah old group, instead using Mr. De Castell's words K'hey k'hey k'hey Greatcoats!!!!!
