It's Dumas writing Musketeers, so, obviously, it's a good time.

Well written with an interesting premise and worldbuilding that I don't want to say too much about, because it was great to discover as I read. Although, I'm seriously worried by ship is dead in the water, darn it. But maybe not. As twisty as this is, it could still happen. *fingers crossed*

What a stunningly beautiful book. And such unique characters, who I just love. Honestly, I'm a little too emotional after just finishing it to write much more.
