A speculative historical retelling of Anastasia Romanov? Sign me up. I didn’t expect the story to be so grounded and historical but it was really well done. I didn’t have a lot of knowledge of the Russian revolution prior to going into this, but reading it through the story was fascinating. The story focuses on the famous mystery of what happened to the Romanovs and what happened to Anastasia? This is definitely a book for anyone who enjoys historical mysteries, or just the Anastasia mystery itself. The characters were interesting a d the relationship between the girls set during such a difficult time and situation was an interesting read. Their journey, their hardships, and the historical backdrop really do make a good read for anyone interested in Russian History but can look at it from the “what if” perspective.
