There were times in the last hundred or so pages the storylines became somewhat convoluted and hard to follow, but overall I loved this book and can respect Loesch's intent to leave room for many interpretations. I can see how it may be unsatisfying to some readers but it does represent the messy unfolding of Russia's past, present, and future. There is a certain sadness in the fight for a fairy tale that could never come true. The writing was beautiful and I loved getting to learn more about this critical time period.
