![]() ![]() Second time I wanted to put it down (and actually did, mid-page and practically mid-sentence) was when Alexandra called Anastasia "Anya". There are also minor problems, and although they are not so important, I can't help but rant.įirst time I wanted to put the book down was when Nikolai and Alexandra started kissing in front of everyone. ![]() And even though there are hints about 'a twist in the end', I don't really care what it is - despite all twists in the world, the Romanovs' story ended the way it ended. Unfortunately The Kitchen Boy lacks that bit of something. So you need to be connected with things happening on every page, you need something that will build up the suspense and keep your interest up.Īs a good example of it, the tv show 'The Tudors' comes to mind - you know very well how it goes, but you still keep hoping that maybe Anne will survive this time. My main problem with this book is that when you read fiction about real events you need something really powerful and captivating in the way the story is told - because actually you already know how it all ends. ![]() This one is going to the "Abandoned" shelf, I think. ![]()
