Historical Fiction - YA Style

Romanov by Nadine Brandes
Publication Date - May 7, 2019
🌟🌟🌟



This is a YA novel about the Romanov family as they are forced into exile by the Bolshevist during the early 1900's that involves a slight fantasy/magical element.  I was looking forward to this book as it involves a period of history that I am very interested in reading about and it does follow the general historical timeline of these events, but it also left me wanting more.  Based mostly while in exile in a Siberian village, this is incredibly slow moving with a budding romance that was pretty meh.  It did however inspire me to do more research into the Russian revolution and the fate of the Romanov line.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
