I grew up with Anastasia being my favorite princess movie, so you can imagine how excited I was when I found this book!
It's one of the longest books I've ever read, but I feel like it was the perfect length. You get to read all about their world, the magic that exists there, and the life that Anastasia grew up in being the daughter of the Tsar. Of course, there's plenty of romance throughout, too.
It took me about a month to finish the whole thing (there are parts that feel like they drag on a bit, which made me put the book down on occasion), but it was interesting for the most part. There's plenty of surprises and moments that left me speechless, as well as plenty of Damien and Anastasia interactions that made me smile/want to cry.
This book has a POV from Anastasia and Damien, but mostly Anastasia. The author did a great job differentiating between the two so you always knew who was narrating a chapter without having to double check.
If you were/are interested in Anastasia or her family, I would recommend this book! It gives a different perspective to the world of the Romanovs with the magical world it's set in,AND Anastasia gets a (somewhat) happy ending!
