I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book in any way.

To start with, this book was just generally too long, too hard to get into, and kinda a slog to finish for me. While I wanted to know what happened I was continuously surprised by how many more pages there were and didn’t have as much interest as I would’ve wanted in finishing it meaning that it took longer to finish than I would’ve liked despite me enjoying the book and wanting to know what happened.
Additionally, while interesting, I didn’t love the way the romance(a) were handled.
I did love the character development and seeing the 4 musketeers together I found that to be really enjoyable.
However, in addition to my other issues with the pacing, length, and love interest(s), I also found the French used to not necessarily detract for me but also didn’t add anything, I found the spy plot line to be incredibly confusing at times, and I think the word dizzy started to become incredibly repetitive.
Overall while I enjoyed the story, this was a fairly middling book for me unfortunately.

"The three of you made me realize that whatever this dizziness is… well, maybe it’s never been the real problem. It’s horrible and it hurts and it makes me feel fragile in a way I never wanted, but it’s not the thing that tears me apart. The problem, the real problem, is the people who decide I’m unworthy because of it.” -Tania Ch 27, pg. 325
"They may not be the Musketeers I’d imagined. But they were better, because they were mine. And I knew, as I looked at them and saw the cold steely resolve inside me mirrored in their eyes, that I was theirs." Tania, Ch 18, pg. 206
Great med-paced read!
For starters, I loved this book. The sisterhood, mystery, the disability repsentation. This book really put in perspective what it's like to have POTS, at least in one example. It's definitely one of fav books and I'm sad to see it end.🥺
My only wish is that girls' relationship was more stretched out a little. I just felt it all happens so fast. One minute their strangers to Tania, the next she calling them her sisters. However, this did make for a kinda fast medium paced read and over all the girls' relationship was cute. And I like how the book touched briefly on serious subjects like SA and ableism. I also like the message and see Tania slowly accept herself.
I'm very proud of ONE FOR ALL being the first book I ever pre-ordered and hopefully in the future, we can see more of Tania's world. Otherwise, I will definitely be reading more of Lainoff's books as she releases them.

“We are not the ones who are written into history. We are the ones who ensure history exists to be written.”
➽ One for All is fun, historical Three Musketeers retelling set in France! Tania de Batz is a disabled young girl who has been learning sword fighting from her father and is devastated when a violent attack leads to his death. He was the only one who believed in her and taught her capable, while everyone else in the village looks down on her for being the ‘sick girl’. Tania gets shipped off to L’Académie des Mariées, a finishing school that secretly specialises in espionage and has a rooster of girls who are trained to infiltrate high society! I loved the bond of sisterhood between Tania and her new friends, it was lovely to see how they accepted her for who she is. I also liked seeing her gain confidence in her new ability and ignore the ableist comments that some people throw her way!
