review 1: I liked this book. I thought the scenery was beautiful and the characters compelling. True there is a slog of Russian names that you may still be a little confused by at the end of the book, but it didn't bother me too much personally. I don't know if I loved the ending so much, but to get into that I would have to give away too many spoilers. Worth a read if you are in the mood for some period fiction based on nonfiction, and don't wanna sit down with another English historical fiction novel.
review 2: Interesting book. Because I like historical books but dislike books about warfare, I had a love/hate relationship with the book. Because this is a true story, there was enough in it to keep me interested. It's also a rather alarming look into warrior cultures... more that explain a lot about the dynamic of wars between various factions. What struck me was how manipulative the rulers were, though it shouldn't be surprising because these men wouldn't have gained power without being highly manipulative in the first place. I recognize I'm not being particularly articulate about this book, so just look at the star rating instead, and decide whether the book is for you. less
