A review by leialocks
The Romanov Bride by Robert Alexander

3.0

Pretty routine look into the life of Grand Duchess Elisabeth, "Ella". If you know anything of her story, you'll be a little bored with this book. There's no real surprises or insights. It feels like Alexander did his research from Wikipedia. Alexander frames the tale well with the back and forth of Ella and a revolutionary, Pavel. Both stories intertwine and give you 2 different views of the important events that led to the Russian Revolution. But again, the revolutionary is painted the same way all Russian revolutionaries are.
