There is fear on Varavara's face. Her eyes dart sideways. Her left cheek twitches. She shakes her head, claps her hand over her mouth. "Shh," she whispers."It's just your pain speaking. It's not you. Shh."

    Is this book historical fiction about Catherine the Great of Russia? I always want to learn something when I read a book, or at least a little.

    Nice 56. I really contemplated reading Empress of the Night when it first came out and your teaser is making me regret that I haven't

    This one interests me. I want to know what was said to make Varavara freak out a bit. Since I kind of like historical fiction I might have to check this one out.
    Thanks for sharing!

    I wonder why she's in pain and shouldn't talk? Lovely cover!
    Thanks for hosting, Freda, and have a wonderful weekend.

    I am intrigued - and have now put the first in this series on my reading list. My 5-year-old recently discovered the cartoon version of Anastasia so we've been, very basically, talking about "real" princesses and using the movie as an example. So I can argue this is research to support my daughter's interest, right?

    What a great teaser! Now I want to know what she said and why she's so afraid!

    Love historical fiction for travel. It's my favourite genre for that purpose. I'm not even sure why as the rest of the time I read other types of fiction.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
