The is no name "Sera" in russia ("sera" in russian is a "sulfur"-strange to call anybody this kind of name, author should make some exploration before writing any book), Galina is called usually Galya. Anybody calls them Galina, only when they use full-strength name like Galina Petrovna, and it's a teacher's name usually kind of. And there is a law in russia against lgbtq propaganda (yes, they think that books about lgbtq make peolpe become lesbians and gays), so it's strange for me to make lgbt book based on russia. But I like the cover where russia is in fire - looks really good.

I really wanted to like this book. I got a beautiful illuminate copy.

Unfortunately the book didn't deliver. It kind of felt like a good author had been forced to write a bad plot. The writing was nice to read but the plot fell flat somehow and I just didn't care about the characters that much.

It's a shame since on paper it was right for me but something about it just missed.

I'll give the book some credit, I was interested for the first half of the book... But in the end I just felt the romanc ewas rushed and the plot ended up being lackluster. The characters felt underwhelming and underdeveloped and so seeing them couple off just was a none event. 
I think the book would of been so much better if there was descriptions of the scene, or what's going on around them...or anything really. It didn't bother me as much at the start... But it was difficult to imagine the ambiance when there isn't any. Though it did make the book a pretty quick read.
I was hoping for at least some world lore.. or God lore.. but the bits if information we did get was microscopic. 

 All in all... The beginning was fine and then the romance hits and so does the boredom.
