I’m not sure if the ending was supposed to be a plot twist because the author dropped lots of hints for the reader so I was able to figure out the mystery before it was revealed. However, It made me really anxious waiting for the main character to make the discovery.
This book was a good book to finish in a day! Filled me with lots of rage and anxiety.

This is one of those novels, or rather novellas, that proves that a story can be beautiful without being hugely quantitative. There is so much in this 107 page novella. A sad, but beautiful story, although slightly disturbing at times. It is a romance, a mystery, a coming-of-age story, and a tragedy all in one. My first, finished, Russian work. Highly enjoyable and not difficult to read. Definitely a great introduction to Russian literature. Now I wish I knew Russian so I could read the original and unfortunately I don't think it very likely that I will ever manage to get around to learning the Russian language.

This was okay, but I didn't think it was great. The writing wasn't bad but I just wasn't hooked or anything. I wanted to know what would happen, but was also bored.
The end was kind of depressing but at the same time, it was the characters I didn't like who died. I almost liked both the father and the princess at some points, the father more at the beginning. By the end I couldn't stand him and thought she was okay, not horrible. I felt a little sorry for her death, at least.
I enjoyed learning how the characters lives turned out at the end, too.
