I don't think I've ever read a book that is so well-researched and so poorly researched at the same time. While the author did source Helen Rapport as a source for the book (and I do admire Rapport) it seems she didn't do any first hand research herself and relied on other research for her.
Also as I sit here, writing this review just minutes after learning of the death of Queen Elizabeth, it makes me wonder why we like to play with historical figures deaths, especially children.
It made me question something. I am Indigenous and we often say "hey stop speaking about Matoaka/Pocahontas like that, she was just a child." Makes me wonder if the Russian people feel the same way for the Tsar, his family and their deaths.
