Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As someone who is in the process of getting diagnosed with POTS (and regardless, someone who passes out frequently), this story touched me. From that standpoint, the way Tania was treated (both good and bad) made me tear up. The representation here was fantastic and realistic. This is understandable, as our author also has this condition.

The story itself was intriguing, politically fueled without being too complex and overwhelming. I adored our various girls who helped Tania, and their relationships as well. While I've never read the original musketeers, I have seen movies and the like, and this still had that same air of adventure.

I suppose my only takeaways, and the reason for this being 4 stars instead of 5, was a mix of the pacing and the consistent use of untranslated French. The French wasn't necessarily an issue for me personally, as I have studied the basics of it, but at times I did still find it irritating to have to look for context clues for translation. The pacing felt a bit choppy, and it made it difficult to stay in the story.
