feels well-researched as author goes into perspective of how she came across documents like diaries, notes, and memoirs. Reading this book it's astonishing how they could be family one minute and the next world leaders.

As someone with an interest in the Romanovs; I found the almost day to day account of their lives during the beginning of the revolution to their final days fascinating.

Very well researched. A lot of detail about plans that were out there to save ( or not save) the Tsar and his family. For anyone who wants a complete picture of the last days of the Romanovs, this book is a must

The historian in me loved this. It was equally about the family and the historian’s adventures tracking down sources.

This has a lot of excellent and well researched information, but it was so dry and descriptive that it was a a slog to get through. Since it has a good rating here, my expectation is that I simply didn’t jive with the author’s writing style.
