The Last Musketeer by Stuart Gibbs

1.0

i admittedly haven’t read middle grade fiction in a while but i do remember it being better than this, and while some parts were okay throughout the book i couldn’t get over how completely insufferable greg is. for plot convenience and making him actually useful to the rest of the musketeers he has the most random skills such as fluent french, fencing, rock climbing,horse riding and swimming (explained away by the fact that he used to be rich and these are apparently normal rich kid activities?). but added on to this is him being a complete idiot. yes it’s probably disorienting being thrown into 17th century france but pretty much every person nowadays knows at least something about time travel or at least enough not to mention things from the future, yet somehow greg manages to say something “strange” almost every other sentence and it’s infuriating to read.
