So it sounds like The Gathering Storm would have to be a balancing act between the setting and Katiya.Bookish in a Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959198758826103615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-52851739391972051402013-01-11T08:31:35.135-05:002013-01-11T08:31:35.135-05:00I really thought I left a comment on this when I f...I really thought I left a comment on this when I first read it. Guess not. I suck. This book sounds really good. I didn't really have any desire to read it, but I have just recently started to get into historical more so I think I would really like it.

I've always had a strange fascination with the history of Russia (especially the czars), so this book has always appealed to me on that level. But after reading your review, the way you describe it reminds me of something like Shadow and Bone. Definitely have to give this one a read!

It seems very different from a lot of the stuff I have read lately. And I LOVE that cover in a huge way!

It's still on my TBR but I had a feeling it was one of those books that you just know, you're going to need to set aside some serious reading time for. It does sound like a wild ride, but one that you enjoyed. Prickly characters aside, I definitely think I'll read it at some point. I'm glad you reviewed it, Evie - that puts it back on my radar!<br /><br /><br />Molli | <a href="http://www.onceuponaprologue.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"> Once Upon a Prologue</a>Molli @ Once Upon a Prologuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817317037277260565noreply@blogger.com
