This is not a bedtime story! Potentially a book to read when you're mentally ready for a lot of the topics that come with Russian history.linair's review against another edition

Graphic: Sexual assault and Sexual content
The history itself is fascinating but the way in which it was written rendered the interesting dull and lifeless. I saw no point in the change-up of timelines at the beginning of and of the novel other than to add some tension to the narrative which it failed to do. I will read some more into the history but will not read from this author again.mira_st's review against another edition
