A review by kat_lh
Enchantments by Kathryn Harrison

3.0

You have to understand this is just very loosely based on history and once understanding that, it's a fun little read. I especially loved the depiction of the Tsarina's depression as an actual cloud following her - her own visible weather system was just such a fun addition to the book. On that alone, I loved the book.

Until the ending and it just totally jumped the shark for me. I could fall in love with an actual cloud of depression but I could not forgive a lion tamer.
