I actually really enjoyed this. It's of course too long (typical for one of these serialized novels, especially if you're not reading it in the same way) and it's old, but I thought it was absolutely hilarious at times how foolish/irresponsible the musketeers were (making enemies left and right). This is classic comedy and not much more than that, but it doesn't have to be.
Surprisingly (maybe not, given the inclusion of lesbians in The Count of Monte Cristo), this passes the Bechdel test. Milady is the master of gaslight gatekeep girlboss. Iconic.
