Beware, Princess Elizabeth: A Young Royals Book… by Carolyn Meyer

I loved this book when I was younger. Every time I finished reading it then I would start it all over again.

Anastasia: The Last Grand Duchess, Russia, 1914… by Carolyn Meyer

I really liked this book more than the last one I read in the series, though I could definitely tell this book was written for a younger audience, which once again, made me wish I had known about these books when I was in the proper age group, but such is life. The story line is good, I connected with Anastasia and her family and there was a part of me that grew upset during the epilogue even though I knew it was coming. I learned a lot as well. It was worth the read. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
