Download The Romanov Bride Audiobook

" Historically accurate and well written. "

" I wish this book had given a little more detail and that I was a little more versed in Russian history. Very readable and gives alternating glimpses into the life of the Grand Duchess Elissavyeta (Ella) and a poor village man named Pavel who becomes instrumental in the brutal revolution. I kept pushing ahead in this book because I did visit St. Petersburg about 9 years ago so it was interesting to hear about some of the places I visited while there. Hard to read at times because I knew how it would end for the royal family. I saw that the author also wrote a book called "Rasputin's Daughter" which might be interesting to hear things from her point of view. Another book by the author is called "The Kitchen Boy" - perhaps in the royal kitchen. I would like to read more because what I do know about Russia from my travels has left me thirsty for more! "

" Ugh, terrible. Enough said. "

" For years I have been fascinated by the Romanov family. This book manages to mix fact and fiction in a beautiful novel. "

" While I enjoyed the historical portion, I had to push myself to finish...a big yawner for me. "

" A little violent for my taste. I did enjoy learning more about the Russian Revolution. "

" A well researched historical novel. Fascinating subject. "

" Robert Alexander is a master of writing about Russia, the Romanovs, and the Russian Revolution. "

" Fascinating story told in a stiff, flat tone. Glad to know about the amazing life of the duchess, but I wish the author had drawn me in more and made the characters real and relatable. "

" The Kitchen Boy was so much better - really could not get into chat=racters or even care about them or their motivations "

" Alexander does a fine job of setting and characters, bringing to life a period and place not so often seen in today's fiction. "

" Enjoyed the audio book okay, but don't know if I would have liked it much if I had read it. I have more tolerance for audio books! The reading of the book was really good, different readers for the male and female parts, they did a great job. "

" Good quick read. It is a nice historical fiction that gives you a good look at Russia in the early 1900's. "

" Really has nothing to do with her being a "bride", except for I guess a "bride of Christ" as a nun, a bizarre title choice. Does contain graphic descriptions and profanity. "

" I am a sucker for Historical Fiction. My favorite type of book to read. "

" Extremely dull. I was really disappointed since I enjoyed The Kitchen Boy so much. Don't waste your time. "

" This was a good read. Author draws you into the Russian Revolution through two points of view. "

" Great insight into Russian history during the fall of the Romanov's. Enjoyed the character development and details of life during the revolution. "

" Historical fiction is a great way to learn history and this book is no exception! Hand in hand with the author's book The Kitchen Boy, this book tells the story of what became of another Romanov, Elisabeth. Well done! "

" This novel takes place during the Russian Revolution. Although enjoyable, it is not as grand in scope as I thought it would be. "

" I really liked this book just as much as the first in the 3 book series of the Romanovs.
This is actually the third in the series (I read them out of order)

very historical in a very non boring way.

"

" So far, I love it! "

" Book III of the weekend. "

" Beautiful, tragic, fascinating and spiritual; full of life lessons. If you have an interest in Russian history at all, you should read this book. "

" I've always liked Russian history. "

" Wonderful book. Listened to it while driving. Not sure about how historically accurate it is, but it is a compelling story. "

" Intersting to learn about the Romanov's and Russian history.Depressing story though. Wouldn't recommend it. "

" Historically quite accurate but the two voices did not mess until the very end so it was a bit choppy to read. "
