As much as I loved the first two books in this series, I found this book disappointing. I would have been happier if I had stopped reading after the second book. This book did not have the richness of the Russian history to back it up and relied on our dedication to the main characters. In the previous books it felt like it was Alexander and Tatiana against the world. The third book felt like Alexander and Tatiana against each other.

The ending saved this book for me. Otherwise I would’ve given it two stars.

Better than the second book in the trilogy but I still like the first one the best.

I've been on page 125 for about 6 months, sadly I think it's time I give up.
While I absolutely loved the first two, I just couldn't get into this one.

I really enjoyed this book. I would say that it almost stands alone, very different than the first two, but I would definitely recommend reading the first two books prior to this one. As this is taking place post-war, and Alexander and Tatiana are dealing with more "regular" issues... the gravity of how this new life is affecting them is really enriched if you had read the first two books. Although the common issues of life are very different than war, I thought this story had more complexity and nuances and the development of their relationship kept me glued to this book.
