The Winter Palace: A Novel of Catherine the Great by Eva Stachniak

2.0

I didn’t like it. This was an audiobook, and the reader’s Russian voices were pretty terrible. But more than that, I just wasn’t a fan of the story. I didn’t care as much for Varvara as I should have, especially considering all she went through, and I hated everyone else. Empress Elizabeth and Catherine were both the worst. From what I remember of my Russian History class, Peter was the most realistic character.
