Straightforward Standalone

A new take on the myth of Anastasia Romanov, DAUGHTERS OF A DEAD EMPIRE tells Anna's story of her escape as she meets a local peasant girl who she hopes will get her to safety, all while hiding her true identity.

The characters are unique, though not overly memorable. Anna is naive but with a well meaning heart, while Evgenia is brusque but suffering from immense grief. They make an unlikely duo, though there is still chemistry between them.

The plot moves at a good pace and makes for a nice tight story. There is an equal balance of emotion and danger, though I didn't quite buy the romance angle. There are plenty of dark aspects that make for a tense reader, all while staying as close to history as possible.

It's a great, short read for anyone looking to indulge in a story about Imperial Russia!

American Accent for Book Based in Russia?

Saskia Maarleveld as always performs wonderfully. The other narrator is awful. And what producer worth their salt has someone with an American accent narrating a book set in Russia? Unless the Russian revolution is really your thing I do not suggest wasting your time or money.
