These books are my guilty pleasure. I love reading them because they are about history and they are also short and sweet and easy to read.
I liked this one because it was set in Russia and the clues revolve around some of my favourite parts of history, namely Rasputin and Anastasia. But it was also at times super unbelievable.
They find a helper that helps them with the clues. And that secret helper gives them the disguises and a golden visa -and somehow the disguises are just perfect and great and they suddenly make the children look and act like adults so nobody questions two kids using a visa or driving a car or a motorcycle and driving dangerously at that.
I did like Irina in this book though. She is one of my favourite characters, and we learn a little bit more about her in this book. We learn that she once knew a child she loved and that she now hates kids because of somehing that happened and that she was barely there in his last days and that she barely remembers the funeral, so he died. I also loved that she saves Dan and Amy instead of killing them like Ian implied she should do. She is a really good backgound character and I cannot wait to see more of her.
