Brave by necessity and ambitious by nature, Tsarevna Elizabeth is the heroine of historical fiction fans' dreams! Ellen Alpsten's follow up to "The Tsarina" is a fast-paced, thoroughly captivating story of a time of turmoil in Russia that follows Elizabeth from her childhood of privilege as she navigates the changing momentum of favor within the Imperial Court, International events and influence add to the already-treacherous landscape of intrigue and duplicity within the court, the description of which provides an interesting contrast of its extreme wealth and indulgence with the harsh and deteriorating living conditions of the Russian serfs. Alpsten's usage of the prophecy given to a young Elizabeth was an effective tool that provided a connective thread and an opportunity for reflection at inflection points throughout the book.

I just reviewed Tsarina's Daughter by Ellen Alpsten. #TsarinasDaughter #NetGalley
I was given a free copy of this e-book in return for an honest review, thanks to the publishers and Netgalley.
I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to fully enjoy this story as its not my usual genre. But wow was I hooked after 25% of the way through.
You follow Lizenka through her childhood and into adulthood whilst her country and relationships shift and change.
A prophecy is given to Lizenka quite early on which the shapes the future for her in sometimes cruel but other times beautiful ways.
I'd recommend this book if you are looking for a historical/political/romance/redemption fiction. Also have you seen that cover, it's to die for.
