I had high hopes for this book. I love when stories are set in the past but the plot overall felt flat to me.

I was so disappointed by this one. Why must stories that center around women involve falling in love?
I was told this was a gender-bending [b:The Three Musketeers|7190|The Three Musketeers (The D'Artagnan Romances, #1)|Alexandre Dumas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1630475503l/7190._SX50_.jpg|1263212], but it most certainly was not. It lacks the social critique and historical nuance that [a:Alexandre Dumas|4785|Alexandre Dumas|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1279049943p2/4785.jpg] adds to his opus. I kept reading hoping it would get better, but sadly it did not. I should have bailed.

Feeling conflicted on this one. I loved the idea of this story, as it seemed very interesting. The actual execution, though…wasn’t a fan of.

Am I crying in the corner over a Three Musketeers retelling or is because this story is just good soup? Queerness, disabilities shown and sisterhood focused is all it takes for me to go mush...or assassination plots.
I received an ecopy of this book through Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.

Plot took a little too long to get to the point but the idea was really fun and the character development was really enjoyable. I wish the mystery side of this story was a bit more evenly paced and it taking a while meant the character things also dragged and things that could have been resolved earlier just … weren’t
