This book was interesting. 

I have always loved the Disney story of Anastasia and been intrigued as I grew about the actual history of the family. I quite enjoyed the storytelling of Anastasia of this in the past. I didn’t enjoy the story telling set later of Anna Anderson. I just didn’t like her character much. The way the story was set up with going backwards for her story was a bit confusing for me at times. As I got to the later half of the 2nd part & the 3rd part I did start to enjoy Anna’s chapters more and get more interested in her side of the story though. 

The book definitely got better and more intriguing as I read on. I felt like it was a pretty good ending. 

*This story involves war and revolution and has some hard topics discussing; killing, rape, vomiting, etc. So be wary going into it if you have a hard time with any of that stuff.
