this was a very fun take on the three musketeers! the ending and twists were a little predictable, but i thought that lainoff did a really good job with writing compelling characters and still making the story fresh and her own. i think she really hit the notes/beats she wanted to, and she definitely captured the energy that i come to expect from a ya novel. a really good debut!
also, the audiobook is excellent!

“Portia, Théa, and Aria weren't the Musketeers who populated my childhood stories. They weren't Papa's Musketeers…
But they were better, because they were mine.”
I absolutely adored One for All. From the first page, I could have sat there and read it all in one go. An all-female Three Musketeers reimagining (or continuation), with disability rep? I’ll be talking about this one for a while.
Tania was such an inspiring main character. With her chronic disability (POTS), she’s struggled to just live all her life. She battles dizziness when she stands, and fencing is the only thing that makes her feel like she’s got control over her life - no wonder she won’t give it up to just be a wife. Her chronic illness is constantly there, but it doesn’t define her.
The other characters were also a delight. I loved the female camaraderie and sisterhood that was developed through the story. The other musketeers taught Tania that her dizziness isn’t a sign of weakness, that actually she’s strong to live with it, and they provided her with friendship she so desperately needed before.
I loved the story. There was always a sense of forward progress with a sense of mystery and the need for justice.
And, I mean, how could you go wrong with sword fighting in beautiful dresses?
