eating this up

"No more separations. At last united, bound for life, and when this life is ended we meet again in the other world to remain together for all eternity. Yours, yours."
thank god it ended with this quote bc i have to believe their souls are together somewhere. or else i will cry and throw up

bold to say russia isnt as "humanitarian" as england while england is preparing to set up literal concentration camps in the second boer war... and is already hard at work colonizing the entire earth???

idk why she is acting like she doesn't know what nicholas was thinking a lot of the time... girl we literally have all of his personal diaries from before he was tsar up until his death

so fucked up that nicholas's entire family wanted to banish his wife to a convent!!! leave her alone omg

anna's crush on nicholas is so funny and i'm surprised it wasnt mentioned in massie. ig it's not really relevant but its crazy. imagine your only close friend suddenly being in love with your husband and telling you about it!!!

as someone currently obsessed with tsar nicholas its jarring to read this book because it seems like of the three, the carter is least interested in him lol

i worry the author does not like alix very much...

its insane how similar wilhelm is to trump in so many ways. eesh

i dont appreciate that the only annotations are abt military figures and events. but there’s no notes on the more personal things in his life, which is what im actually interested in!

the letters from alix to her daughters are so sweet its making me sick!

its crazy that the b plot is kr going to the bathhouse for gay sex on a regular basis

coming to terms with the fact that i will literally never have a love like this. idk if anyone will

it's sweet that nicholas doesn't seem at all disappointed that alix keeps having girls, bc everyone else is so upset abt it

at one point sandro says the last time he saw nicholas cry was when his father died but i feel like nicholas is always crying

nicholas's uncles are to blame for so much

im so glad they chose to include some of alix's writing about her dreams

one thing abt ottessa is that she is always going to make fun of fat women. but other than that im liking it

i didnt know tsar nicholas was snorting coke lmao. but apparently it was to help with a stuffy nose?
