The Tsarina's Daughter by Ellen Alpsten
5.0
4.5 Stars
It was down to the wire, but I finished this early this morning and was again so impressed with the author’s research and storytelling ability. The second in a planned trilogy, you could read this as a standalone. It is a long book (514 pages), but it goes by quickly and you definitely become immersed in young Elizabeth’s life. I feel bad for the author because this is a tough time to have a book about Russian royalty come out given all that’s happening in Ukraine. Thankfully, it’s written about people so far in the past that I was able to solely focus on the content and storytelling abilities. I think what you want the most from good HF - in depth research, accuracy, good storytelling and a good pace. This book checked all those boxes. I’m really looking forward to the next installment and I hope by the release of the final book, we have peace and Putin and his cronies are held accountable.
