This book was great, but never lived up to the hope I’d built around following reading The Count of Monte Cristo. It’s adventurous and in some parts really fun, but was slightly ruined for me by the way women are used and portrayed I also believe that some of what D’Artagnan did would constitute as rape with today’s morals - it should have done them too!
