Tsarina by Ellen Alpsten

4.0

I chose this book as I love historical fiction. This book surely read like fiction, but according to the author, it events are all based on well documented history. That made the book even more incredible. The beginning was a bit long but once it took off, it was a great rollercoaster ride. The writing/story was a bit disjointed at times, but easy enough to follow. I love when a book doesn't follow a linear timeline. This goes back and forth between Marta's humble beginnings and Catherine's unbelievable rise. I'd recommend this to anyone with a love of history. And romance ;-)
