A review by jillie
Anastasia by Sophie Lark

5.0

“It hurts because we love him. That’s the balance of life, hard as it is to accept. A heart open to joy is a heart vulnerable to sorrow. There’s no family without loss, no love without pain.”

Y’all, read this NOW. I wish I could be more eloquent to describe how much I loved this, but suffice it to say this book completely surprised and captivated me. The magic was woven so well throughout this story. I adored the characters & cried multiple times while reading it. 

The love story is also amazing and made my heart swell. I was rooting so hard for these two!

I already can’t wait to reread this. If you are looking for a great historical fiction/fantasy, or if you’re at all interested in the story of Anastasia, don’t pass this up! I’m so impressed by Sophie’s ability.
