"Is a ficitonal account of what happened to the Romanovs told through the eyes of daughter Tatiana. Supposedly she survives because a servant takes her spot at the execution. Was a nice read, but not my fave by Ms. Erickson."
"This book follows the life of Tsar Nicolas's family. It is told from the perspective of his daughter Tatiana as she grows up. I found it interesting because most fictional stories are about how her sister Anastasia survived the families' execution, but this story is about how Tatiana survived."
"I get that this is fiction so it will not necessarily bear any resemblance to the real events of the decline of the Romanov family, but this went beyond the pale. The writing was very disappointing and almost like reading a high school report where the writer feels the need to cram in every fact they know about the subject, but in a way that does not fit into the story in a smooth manner. Even the facts in this book seem like fiction because of the way it is written. I wanted to badly to like this, but how can you like a book that talks about Tatiana Romanov reading to her family when WWI first breaks out and saying "I avoided War and Peace." Come on!"
"This book deals with one of my favorite topics, the Romanov family in Russia. While Erickson does a great job with the "story-telling" of this novel, her history is grossly inaccurate. The book itself was good. I loved the premise and the story. I loved that it came from Tatiana Romanov, one of the Grand Duchesses we hear much less about. However, the story was much more fiction than historical. While elements of the novel were accurate, the majority of the storyline was fictional. I would recommend this book as the reading was good, the storyline engrossing, the characters intriguing. I would just recommend that you don't take anything in the book to be a truly accurate picture of the Romanov's, the events that happened to them (as many are complete fabrications), the people surrounding the royal family or the Russia from the history books."
