I really enjoyed this book for the most part.

The writing style was captivating and very easy to understand. The style went very well with the way the story was being told.

I really enjoyed Dunlap’s take on Anastasia. Her character arc was very well done and Anastasia was just so fascinatingly written!

The only reason I’m not giving this book a 5/5 is that I felt the romance was a bit abusive. Sasha was constantly lording his knowledge over Anastasia in a rude way and he got angry with her very quickly. He also went from being only friendly with Anastasia to having sex with her. He would withhold important information and then expect Anastasia to always forgive and obey him.

I would’ve also liked to have read more about her sisters, but not having more of them didn’t take away from the story.

All in all, Anastasia’s Secret was a fantastic read that I know I will reread soon. I highly recommend to fans of historical fiction and historical retellings/reimagines.

Lots of love!
