V. sad at the end, a terrible end to those people.

The book tells a very different story from that of Rappaport's other book The Romanov Sisters, which was written later than this one, and which I read first. It's kind of hard to determine who Nicholas and Alexandra were, each book showing two very different facets of their personalities. Having read the book about the sisters, and completing their lives with this book, their deaths are really sickening and, as much as I'd like to, I don't believe Anastasia made it out alive.
