Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 89
Snyder was eight years old when her mother died, and her distraught father thrust the family into an evangelical, cult-like existence halfway across the country. Furiously rebellious, she was expelled from school and home at age sixteen. Living out of her car and relying on strangers, Rachel found herself masquerading as an adult, talking her way into college, and eventually traveling the globe.

As daughters of the impoverished King of Montenegro, Militza and Stana must fulfill their duty to their father and leave their beloved home for St. Petersburg to be married into senior positions in the Romanov court. For their new alliances to the Russian nobility will help secure the future of the sisters’ native country. Immediately, Militza and Stana feel like outcasts as the aristocracy shuns them for their provincial ways and for dabbling in the occult. Undeterred, the sisters become resolved to make their mark by falling in with the lonely, depressed Tsarina Alexandra.

Beautiful descriptions, style made it hard to empathize with characters
Revisado: 05-04-20
Scenes were very beautifully described, and an interesting story, but I never felt connected to any of the characters. Most of the second half was basically cringing at how gross Rasputin was, zero idea why the very graphic sex scene with the most disgusting character in the book was in there after having no hint of anything like that for most of the book. The ending also felt anti-climactic. We spend the whole book on her relationship with the Tsarina, and her obsession with power, and then...nothing? Not a word about the consequences? Nothing about the tsarina’s feelings of betrayal, the loss of Militza’s title and power, no resolution whatsoever to any of the character arcs?

He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last? Lucy is faced with a life-altering choice. But before she can make her decision, she must start her story - their story - at the very beginning. Lucy and Gabe meet as seniors at Columbia University on a day that changes both of their lives forever. Together, they decide they want their lives to mean something, to matter. When they meet again a year later, it seems fated - perhaps they'll find life's meaning in each other.

Characters are basically selfish, awful people
Revisado: 07-14-18
Hard to root for anybody here to be honest. I really wanted to like this book, but they are all so privileged and entitled and irresponsible that I just couldn’t. Honestly, this book is a thesis on why Facebook stalking an ex is a bad idea and it’s better to just go no contact and move on.
