  • The Last Tsar: The Abdication of Nicholas II and the Fall of the Romanovs

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:
    My nonfiction for January!

    I have had an ongoing obsession with the Romanovs since I was a kid so when I came across this one I had to read it. It’s a full accounting - thanks to newly discovered artifacts - of what led up to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the subsequent fall of 300 years of Romanov rule in Russia. Ultimately, this one fell kind of flat for me. It’s clear the author, while an expert on the subject of the Romanovs, was less than impressed with Tsar Nicholas II rule (understandably). However I felt it went slightly over the top, for example, when using a list of adjectives describing his incompetence adding “stupid” seems less than professional and not needed.

    This was also a very dry read, focused more on basically listing every fact and minor individual who played a role than providing a narrative to follow. There was a lot of bouncing around and I thought it could have been condensed for a more cohesive reading experience. Due to the amount of names dropped, places, and travel described in the book I think maps, photos, or a list of important people would have been a helpful addition.

    Also, while I understand that Alexandra’s influence on him did not help his rule, blaming an ineffectual ruler on the women in his life is old and boring.
