Good storyline based upon historical events of a lesser known but far more influential Romanov wife.

Liked the cast of characters and hearing from their “viewpoints” which brings the humanity of these historical figures to life. A must read for a Hesse/Romanov fans alike.

Very Strange Annoyance

Difficult to follow because the narrator’s style did not clearly differentiate speakers. Dialogue and narration also ran together. Someone would be talking in the story and ten words into a new narrative part, you’d realize it had changed from a speaker to plain narrative. Even though the story was good, I stopped listening because it was neither relaxing nor enjoyable.
