Catherine: The Great Journey, Russia, 1743 by Kristiana Gregory

4.0

I've finished my nonsensical goal of reading all these books! Yay, me. Catherine is the last book of the series, ending it on a better note than many of the last installments. Bonus points for reading this right after the premiere of the HBO mini series about Catherine. The book is interesting but ends abruptly like most of the royal diaries. I would have liked to read more about what happened to Johanna, Catherine's mother, after she was sent back to Prussia, but otherwise I think the book is a good overview of Catherine's youth.
