3.0

This book is basically just d'Artagnan taking everything way too personally (though, to be fair, almost everyone in this book does - it’s just that no one does it quite like him), and quite possibly having ADHD. Honestly, if he didn’t overreact to every single thing or have the attention span of a squirrel with a sword, what would the book even be about? So much of the drama could easily be avoided… But it’s not 🤣. And I sort of live for it!

Was it the best thing I’ve ever read? No, not at all. Not even close. But am I glad I’ve finally read it? Yes! Absolutely! The drama had the vibe of old-timey reality TV, and I weirdly loved that.
