What a disappointing and anticlimactic end to a great saga. I know that Dumas would have to follow to a great degree what had already happened in history, but what happened to the "fiction" part? He could have bent details and drama to a greater satisfaction. Such a weak and jejune way these larger than life characters of his had to come to their ends...except for Porthos, for whom there didn't seem to be a metamorphic remorse by Aramis who seemed to have turned into a person who was more interested in serving his own personal ambitions than his friends, which is a complete contradiction to how he was portrayed in the earlier books.
