This book is so different from The Count of Monte Cristo! So far I have no idea where things are going... all that work just to get some diamond studs back for the Queen!

Upon finishing part one: Dumas writes of adventure with deep fluency; of women, less so. The melodramatic romance is at once cartoonish and sincere—one character starts a major international war so his mistress won’t be humiliated. My interest in court intrigue over the scenes of combat leads me to believe that I’d enjoy Pride and Prejudice. I remain charmed by how fun of a read this is.

d’artagnan being genuinely TERRIFIED of the consequences of his OWN tomfoolery which literally EVERYONE and their mom told him was a bad idea is frying me 😭😭

also him running to boyf’s appt in women’s clothing after his side piece kicked him out 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
