April Discussion Post for One for All
[ID: A book with an illustration of a brown haired girl in a pink dress holding a sword surrounded by other swords laying on a gray wooden floor surrounded by bright pink roses. Four illustrated cards featuring character from the novel wearing period dresses are on either side. A bronze sword bookmark sticks out of the top of the book.]
“We’re Musketeers. We are sisters in arms. We don’t let each other fall, and we never will.”
