This was an enjoyable read of the fictional events in the Romanov household from the perspective of the second oldest daughter as well as her personal experiences both in and outside of the palace.

The passage of time was hard to follow and whenever she made a reference to her or one of her sibling's ages, I had to do some quick math and was often surprised by how much or how little time had passed.

The story follows Tatiana Romanov from about 6 years old until about 20 with references made to periods in her life before and after this. I was intrigued by the commentary on royal family relations and her observations of both the Russian family and the royal families of other countries such as England and Germany.
