I just couldn't get into this book. It seemed too political for me. I have a hard time getting into fantasy unless it catches me from the beginning but this one didn't. It felt like a chore to read.
The names were terrible. Way too hard and I couldn't remember them most of the time. I couldn't connect to the main character, because everything seemed to fall on her lap. I know nothing about Russia and India so the references to those countries were lost on me.
Too historical, too economical, too political, not my cup of tea. Sorry.
I received this book complimentary from Blogging for Books for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
