A review by heidirgorecki
The Tsarina's Daughter by Ellen Alpsten

4.0

Really interesting, based on a true historical story of Tsarina Elizabeth Petrovna. Such a brutal time and so much turmoil in the monarchy as one Tsar died and the throne was owned by the next heir.

The book was a little drawn out and long but otherwise written well and generally had my attention. I found myself researching a number of the characters in the story simultaneously. I do wish the book was better about explaining what year or time it was in. Everything blended together and it was hard to figure out how much time had passed.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
