About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a colorful, old-school swashbuckler with romance, palace intrigue, and duels in the spirit of The Black Swan or Scaramouche; Not for you if you want tight plotting or a serious historical drama.
Pros: lively sword fights; lavish costumes and sets; playful romantic tone | Cons: uneven writing; slow middle stretch; lighter than classic swashbucklers
