Muskateers gay

Christine brought an amazing attention to detail and a great amount of enthusiasm to their work on The Three Musketeers. They were able to dig into a wide range of narrative and character issues, focusing not just on the text but on the larger context of the story, and on what the book was ultimately trying to accomplish.

It features a diverse, queer cast within prose and storytelling conceits that are simultaneously refreshing in their takes on gender representation while also remaining true to the original tone and feel of the source material. This is a retelling that can be enjoyed without baggage.

I was flattered when I was invited to join the project as a sensitivity reader. Athos is a wise, older woman, and Porthos remains a distinctly flamboyant monsieur. The diversity of the new cast is astounding, and brings so much more interest to a story that otherwise might not have quite as much to offer a modern audience.

This is a book very intentionally meant to draw the ire of those who like to scream about how historical accuracy in fiction means that all characters should be straight white men, and muskateers gay encourage those people to open their eyes to the wider world that the rest of us have been enjoying for some time now.

Most impressive, in my opinion, is how Grey handles pronouns and gender representation. In fact, bypassing this greeting and assuming gender is used infrequently to muskateers gay a few cast members as being particularly vulgar and rude. These interactions all flow naturally and never interrupt or distract.

I for one and one for all? This all serves to make an already enjoyable book even moreso. You insulted my horse? Cool, fight me. Excellent, we meet at Noon to fight. Come for the queer cast and stay for the ridiculous hijinks they get up to in the service of the Queens of France.
