This will be a pretty short review as I don’t have much to say about this book. I’m attempting to get through my massive book collection and so I’m rereading pre-goodreads books and writing reviews on them. I’m reading a bunch of Danielle Steel as well so I can give the ones I don’t care for to my mom. I got a lot going on.
This book was alright. It wasn’t anything special. I remember loving this book because it was a russian main character who was a dancer, things I still love reading about to this day. It’s also a typical riches to rags to riches story, if there is such a thing. Zoya was a beloved member of the royal family and when the revolution happened, she had to escape. This is the story of her life after that.
Overall, this is a good filler book if you are looking for something in between books. It’s a rather large book in terms of page number but the good thing with Danielle Steel, is that her books, no matter how big, reads fairly quick. This only took me a couple of days to read.
