Nicholas and Alexandra: The Classic Account of the Fall of the Romanov Dynasty by Robert K. Massie

4.0

It truly took me a while to get through because I was going through (and still am) some personal problems and didn't feel like reading during the whole month. I decided to really put some effort into reading and finishing it before the end of the month, mainly because it is huge and I wanted to get it over with. I still read only two books in November which is the least since maybe like ten years ago but who cares, honestly. My mental health comes first. It was a really good read, though. With me you can do no wrong with the Romanovs. I read another book about them which focused more on the sisters so it was interesting to read something which focused more on the tsar and tsarina. It was also very thorough and talked about things in more details. Only putting one star down (it's difficult to rate non-fiction books because you can't rate it based on your enjoyment) because it included some historical discrepancies, mainly about age and other things which was a little annoying. I only noticed the main problems (Olga being 20 years old before the war when she was 18 at most, Maria being born in May when she was actually born in June) which were factual and I could look them up easily so who knows if there were more of them.
