Enchantments by Kathryn Harrison
2.0
2012: Liked parts of it. I think the writing was too bombastic and the story while a good idea flighty, didn't make me want to follow even though I WANTED to want to follow. Really emphasized my desire to read Nicholas and Alexandra as this was the book that inspired the author when read at age 11.
2021: I forgot I read this NINE years ago and got it for a dollar---it was not worth the dollar :( The only enjoyable parts are the bits with the royal family which are too few and far between. The best being the tsar and tsarina falling in love and her cutting him a curl at the opera with her little purse scissors. This is one of the most pointless, rambling, flowery books I've ever read and I'll be donating my copy. I shan't read it a third time :P oof!!!
