A new take on an old classic.
Different from the movie, Romanov offers a more magical journey filled with spells and adventure. However, it is also more historically accurate when one thinks about the true story of Anastasia and the Romanov Empire.
The story itself is medium paced and naturally picks up after the moment of tragedy. I would have given it 5 stars if it was a little faster and perhaps more adult. It is definitely a young-adult novel.
