One for All by Lillie Lainoff
4.5
I remember seeing so much PR for this book and now I haven't heard a peep about it! And I think that should change because this was so much fun?!
I've only vaguely heard of the musketeers in that I know it's a classic but have no idea what it's about or what a musketeer even is, so I went into this "blind". It's not really a retelling (to my knowledge) but more of a "the story of one of the musketeers kids".
We follow Tania, who is a girl ruled, it seems, by her disability and her mother's worry for her future. While Tania would rather practice fencing with her father than sew or look for a husband, her mother is adamant. What will she do when both her father and she are gone? Sadly, this reality comes too soon and without any option, Tania is shipped off to L’Académie des Mariées, where she is to be properly educated in the womanly art of finding a husband. Or at least, that's what they all believe until Tania arrives and realizes it's a sisterhood. It's everything she's always dreamed of and she's determined to make sure they know this
This story is about friendship, family, found family, challenging oneself, learning self-love, romance, murder, and the womanly art of espionage and ⚔️. I liked it so much that I really need at least a short story giving me the DEETS to her future. I need fluff and more feels! Sequel? 😏
