This book should be for enjoyment only, don't trust this to be a mind blowing, outrageous kind of book, it's suppose to be based on history, but I found a few bits in it that were quite bad from the fixed history in the Russian Royal Family, but other than that..give it a try.

I gave up on this epic brick which was supposed to be a great love story, in addition to a great outlook on society in general. The writing? Ok. Not brilliant but enough to keep me trying. The whole thing just sucked the life out of itself by excess ambition, moralizing and lecturing about various (interesting?) subjects whenever it seemed proper (too often). The conventional plot and predictable ... read more

"And with fury, as it were with passion, the murderer falls on the body, and drags it and hacks at it; so he covered her face and shoulders with kisses. She held his hand, and did not stir. "Yes, these kisses--that is what has been bought by this shame. Yes, and one hand, which will always be mine--the hand of my accomplice." She lifted up that hand and kissed it. He sank on his knees and tried to see her face; but she hid it, and said nothing. At last, as though making an effort over herself"

The whole thing just sucked the life out of itself by excess ambition, moralizing and lecturing about various (interesting?) subjects whenever it seemed proper (too often). The conventional plot and predictable characters were surrounded by trifles and irrelevant details.

Therefore I threw this back to my bookshelf since I knew I couldn't bring myself to finish the long-winding journey.” read more
