A review by meghan
Enchantments by Kathryn Harrison

4.0

I really liked this book. It wasn't exactly what I had expected because it goes back and forth in time explaining different little stories, adding on here and there. But I did like it. I liked the Aloysha-Masha relationship because it was realistic, even though it became sexual at times. Why couldn't she like him? She was only about 5 years older than him and she liked him but she tried not to give into it. He was younger and perfectly willing to give into it. I also liked the little stories about the different Romanov family members. I became very attached to the characters and was so upset when Masha had to leave Aloysha and was even more upset when he died. Of course, I was upset the very most when I reached the end of the book. I'd give it 4.5 stars.
