The Kitchen Boy: A Novel of the Last Tsar by Robert Alexander

3.0

The Kitchen Boy was actually pretty interesting to read. It's definitely a version of what happened but with some unexpected twists. Don't get me wrong, I love a good twist thrown my way but at times it felt ridiculous and unbelievable. In another way, I could see that they were trying to keep my attention until the very last page.

Still, it was very interesting to see everything through the eyes of Leonid. Especially when things were completely brutal and chaotic. It was hard to look at and away from at the same time. I just wanted to know more about what happened on the day the royal family was murdered.

In the end, I'll just stick with it being interesting and entertaining to a point.
