Where was the editor?

Overall an interesting book. Not terribly in-depth but a nice size for an easy read and it is written in a way that makes you want to keep reading. The problem is that it really needs an editor! Whoever translated it from the French to English made lots of errors. Sometimes there are double words; other times words are missing and then there are times when the syntax is a bit strange. Still it was a good book and I recommend it to anyone who would like to know a bit about each of these ladies who ruled Russia during its glory days.

Magnificent account on a very interesting time

At first i wasnt that impressed with the title but i ordered anyway because i wanted to learn about the zars of Russia as much as possible.I am glad to say that this book is fantastic.It is well written and well documented.I love the no non-sense approach of the author when telling the story.The way he describes the characters and the intrigues during that difficult time is excellent.He uses his sources very well and he always explains every necessary detail without fancy or difficult terms.I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in how was Russia under the tsars.
