Book Review: "Tsarina" By Ellen Alpsten



This is the best work I've read to date in showcasing not only historical fiction but in the captivating way of being shrewd, tenacious, and downright brilliant to capture the crown.

What a work of art as we engage in this new piece by Ellen Alpsten that showcases all the turmoil surrounding the Tsar and even more importantly the inner workings of royalty and poverty combined that create thunder throughout the distance.

Talk about fire and ice and everything nice...this went beyond the norm to showcase the endless possibilities and struggles of numerous characters in specific detail showcasing the research that was directly present and extremely significant to the storyline.

I've read several books during this time period dealing with Russia but nothing as forthright and splendid as this one simply entitled," Tsarina."

From executions to beheadings the struggle was real and through it all the fact that everyone stayed true to themselves for the most part was riveting.

Plenty of triggers in this one -so if you're squeamish- proceed with caution as this will certainly create an uproar of emotions and feelings alike.

I couldn't get enough of this one soaking every minute up like a sponge and look forward to more by this amazing writer and author.

Thank you to Ellen, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
