My name is Anastasia. The history books say I died. They don’t know the half of it.
Anastasia “Nastya” Romanov was given a single mission: to smuggle an ancient spell into her suitcase on her way to exile in Siberia. It might be her family’s only salvation. But the leader of the Bolshevik army is after them, and he’s hunted Romanov before.
Nastya’s only chances of saving herself and her family are either to release the spell and deal with the consequences, or to enlist help from Zash, the handsome soldier who doesn’t act like the average Bolshevik. Nastya has only dabbled in magic, but it doesn’t frighten her half as much as her growing attraction to Zash. She likes him. She thinks he might even like her.
That is, until she’s on one side of a firing squad . . . and he’s on the other.
Praise for Romanov:

"Romanov will cast a spell on readers and immerse them in a history anyone would long to be a part of." —Sasha Alsberg
"If you think you know the story behind Anastasia Romanov, think again!

Brandes weaves a brilliant and intricate saga of love, loss, and the power of forgiveness. Prepare to have your breath stolen by this gorgeous novel of brilliant prose and epic enchantment." —Sara Ella

Er gebeurde weinig en vond hem erg tegenvallen.. t Romanov verhaal is natuurlijk niet een happy verhaal, maar had wel meer spanning verwacht. Wel een erg fijne stem om naar te luisteren.

In my opinion a great novel based on / adapted from Russian history (I can't say much about accuracy), it was entertaining but could've had more action! I did really love how focused it was on character-development, a huge plus!

Het hele boek is behalve dat het natuurlijk magie bevat en het een reimagening is, historisch vrij accuraat. Soms schijnt het nogal door dat de schrijfster erg christelijk is en dat irriteerde, vooral op het einde, nogal. Een goed boek om te luisteren als je meer over Russische geschiedenis wil weten of als je zin hebt in een licht fantasy verhaal.
