The Kitchen Boy: A Novel of the Last Tsar by Robert Alexander

4.0

This is not a happy book, so as long as you're okay with finishing it and feeling sad, this will be a good book for you.
Usually I have a hard time getting into a book that says right off the bat that it's 'historical fiction,' but this one was still amazing. The writing was good, the imagery was effective and it made me want to learn more about the last Tsar of Russia. When I looked up more information, it turned out I already knew all the facts from the book. A good read.
