The Tsarina's Daughter is a great book by Ellen Alpsten. It is about Tsarevna Elizabeth of Russia, the daughter of Catherine I and Peter the Great. I have always been fascinated by the Romanovs of Russian history and this historical really made me even more curious with this family. I loved learning more about Elizabeth and see her strength, determination, and bravery through life. I was not sure of her at first but she grew on me as she matured through the years. I thought it was a great book!
I am giving The Tsarina's Daughter a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for the readers who enjoy reading historical fiction based on real figures from the past. I will be most definitely looking for more historical novels by Ellen Alpsten in the future.
I received a paperback copy of The Tsarina's Daughter from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
