adventurous funny inspiring fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This was a very fun read. It definitely had moments when I thought... this is not very appropriate (a certain guardsman in a certain villainesses bedroom?), but it was still very entertaining. There is something to be said for pure heroism. I know modern books shy away from that, leaning more towards realistic, flawed characters that are neither good nor bad, hero nor villain, but sometimes it is nice to rely on a gentleman musketeer to be honorable and loyal at all costs.
