this was such an amazing read! one for all is a genderbent three musketeers retelling, featuring a fmc with POTS. Tania’s story resonated with me so much as someone who also has a chronic illness, and the author did a great job portraying the realities of living with one, both the good and the bad. full of badass female characters, duels, sapphics, and amazing own-voices disability rep, one for all has definitely become one of my favorite reads of the year.

Scorched Grace by Margot Douaihy

This had SO MUCH potential. I mean a queer crime solving nun??
It was so boring though. Most of the book was the narrator talking about sweat mixed in with retellings of her traumatic past. The main character did absolutely no “sleuthing” either.
The .5 is for the last chapter alone, in which we learn the motive and the arsonist, neither of which I guessed. I just wish it didn’t feel so rushed.
Also, I really need authors to start researching disabilities before writing about them. There’s a scene where a diabetic is given insulin for hypoglycemia, which would have probably killed him in real life. Please don’t ever do that.
