The dramatic sequel to The Bronze Horseman continues the tumultuous relationship of Titania and Alexander as World War II comes to an end. This fascinating time period in history, the Russian front in particular, is a wonderful back drop to this story. Simons brings a great depth of detail and research about this difficult time period which I found completely interesting.
The story between Alexander and Tatiana was somewhat predictable but very good. She took a unique angle in this book which really worked (and is difficult to make work). She went back in the past to when Alexander was coming to Russia, moved forward with Tatiana as she began her life in America. Woven throughout is excerpts and memories from the beginning of their relationship and marriage.
I actually think I liked this book better than the first. I was surprised to find out there is a third book in the trilogy!
Book 26
