Enchantments by Kathryn Harrison
2.0
I've never read Harrison before, but realized while reading that I have a high ick factor for her based on her first book. Blech.
Having said that, this book suffered as it was the sexual awakening of the Tsarevich, which is not particularly something I want to read about in great detail. Also, I felt that there was a lot of information dumping disguised as stories that Masha tells to Aleksei. Having said that, I thought the writing was beautiful and I was fascinated by the character of Masha. Did you know she became a circus performer in Western Europe and the US? Me neither.
