A review by nicolebookish
Catherine: The Great Journey, Russia, 1743 by Kristiana Gregory

3.0

You know, this was the last in the series so I read it in high school. I liked it because it was the continuation of the series of fictionionalized diaries of important royals in history, although each was in a way a stand alone book.
I didn't like it as much as the others & I took it to a used book store which I didn't do with the others.

This entry is about the life of Catherine the great of Russia when she was engaged to be married & had to move to Russia.

I have to reread this series and give my adult post graduate degree perspective but what I remember liking was:
-the characters in this series were roughly my age when I read the books (YA)
-it gave you an idea of what life may have been like back then
-they did have an afterword with historic information that gave you more context on their real lives and often photos or paintings
