About this deal

But if you know your history or have favorite parts of the film, you are in for some wonderful treats. this was such a loaded tale of a girl who didn't know her path, who was bright as the sun and bold as ever, who learnt the meaning of life and love and pure fucking happiness. Given that this is already a rather dark retelling, I would have preferred for the villain to be defeated, while also preserving all the horrible consequences birthed from poor choices of the monarchy.

it may also be infuriating to a well-versed historian or just as impressive if you think about the author, whom prior to this, never published a book so enveloped in a foreign culture. If you want to read a better written fantasy romance that has similar elements as Lark’s: magical powers passed through a bloodline, do yourself a favor and just read Ilona Andrews’ Hidden Legacy series.Anastasia starts as a young duchess, blinded to the realities of Rusya while hidden in the palace with her parents as a royal. Do the men I've just described LOOK LIKE they'd appreciate their woman sleeping around or cheating on them💀 I'm sure it happened, it happens everywhere, but for it to be accepted among the community and talked about so brazenly, almost proudly? The romance felt very surface level and tbh, there wasn’t much to it except fulfilling the trope in the very end. People who know Russian history don't need that much of a recap, especially from an uncomprehending amateur, and people who don't - kinda don't expect it to be that fake deep.

The ending can come of A little unsure, but as Sophi herself mentioned, this is her fantasy story, and she can do however she pleases.Concordo con diversi commenti letti: l'autrice si dilunga troppo sulla vita della protagonista e sulla corte dello zar , oltre metà libro scorre senza che nulla in particolare accada. I didn’t have much expectations, just that it was one of my most anticipated read and I was excited. I absolutely adore Anastasia with my entire being, and she is most definitely one of my all time favorite characters EVRER.

Over 600+ pages of coming-of-age fantasy should NOT be mired down with that much detail over warring groups, troop movements, and the daily minutia of living in a palace. Anastasia is the princess no one needs: the fourth daughter born to an emperor without a son, and the only royal lacking a magical gift. there were too many damn characters and too many scenes that felt superfluous or overly descriptive. While I was reading this one, the beginning dragged a lot with the world building and it became too much for me. I don't know how much Sophie's average audience will care about a bunch of tragic events in Russian history like the bloody Sunday, 1905 uprising, world war I, and so on.Damien and Anastasia have a somewhat tumultuous initial meeting but there is some kind of connection that even at young ages they understand is important. There is a deep rooted love by the end and it's the kind that is so ingrained in your cells that you wouldn't exist without it. This is a Slow Burn between Anastasia and Damien and they know each other for many years and they don't fall head over heels right away, but rather first they have a friendship that grows despite their initial animosity. It wasn't a very predictable book which I loved because some of those twist and turns kept me on the edge of my seat.
