I have a lot of really mixed emotions on this. I'm fascinated by the Romanov family and the horror that they had to go through. I'm intrigued by the idea that Anastasia could've survived, although recent records prove not. I think this book was okay. I found myself confused by the timeline of Anna's story, which is what the author wanted. I found myself not really rooting for her as a character and wishing to hear more about Anastasia. I think if I had read this with no prior knowledge of the Romanov's, I may have enjoyed it a bit more. Writing was beautiful though.
