A mix

Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
No
As interesting as the subject is, the story was a bit slow moving & the fact that the storyline was going backwards is a bit frustrating.
Ok, so I picked it up again & the last half was so good!
Although, as much as I loved it, I've never wanted to throw a book across the room as much as I wanted to throw this one. Yes, I did want Anna to be Anastasia & I'm absolutely shattered that she wasn't. There goes all my hopes for a long lost princess in one fell swoop ðŸ˜
