The Last Romanov

Author: Dora Levy Mossanen
Stars: 3
Review by: SCL

The Romanov story.  We all know that, this "historical fiction" book should bring out a few details or offer some new imagining of what was happening within the family.  Right? Wrong.  Filled with extinct animals, magically growing plants, instant healing, seers, and more, it should have been in the fantasy category.  However, that horrified fascination thing kicked in and I just had to keep reading.  I did know the basic story, but I just had to know what "behind the scenes" magic this author could come up with.  Be warned that I wouldn't count on it for any historical accuracy, but it is a good read if you can suspend reality a bit (or a lot).
