Review: The Tsarina's Daughter

The Tsarina's Daughter by Ellen Alpsten
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received an ARC edition of this book through a Goodreads Giveaway.

Trigger warning: some descriptions of violence including torture are graphic.

This is the follow up to Tsarina (also by Ellen Alpsten). The first half of The Tsarina's Daughter overlaps in the timeline with the Tsarina, but it is still a stand alone. It follows the story story of Elizabeth, daughter of Tsar Peter the Great and Catherine I.

The book is fast paced. It did not have the same style as the first book, but it was still a good read.

Review: Rise of the Savior: Acolyte of Truth

Rise of the Savior: Acolyte of Truth by Antoine Bonner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received a free Kindle edition of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I think this might be the first book I have ever read where the writing style really bothered me. It made the book easy to put down. I was already struggling to pick up books due to life struggles, but I kept pushing this book aside. Unfortunately, I am one of those people that cannot leave books unfinished, so I did read through to the end.

The story itself was interesting, but the delivery was lacking. The book is left open for a sequel.
