This retelling, while being very close in terms of plot and pacing to the original story (something that will or will not go down very well depending on the readers—personally, I wanted to read a close retelling, and that's what I got) did actually... endear me much more to d'Artagnan's character.

Anthology. As I was reading this book there seemed to be a theme of rollerskating lesbians but then I found out there were some other stories interspersed.
