Nikki Reads Slowly’s Reviews > Nicholas and Alexandra: The Classic Account of the Fall of the Romanov Dynasty > Status Update

Weirdest thing…I am really dreading the end of this. Massi did a good job getting me to know intimate details of this family. 😞

I’m making slow progress because I don’t want to find out exactly what happened. Makes me sad.

Nicholas seemed like a very good father. It pains me to know how this family ended up. How they died. It’s appalling.

Very surprised to find out Russian soliders didn't even interrogate German prisoners because they thought it was not honorable. I'll take this with a pinch of skepticism. Nicholas himself sounds like he truly believed honor yet he was distanced from the realities of war so who knows how he would've felt if he hadn't been the Tsar.

I could not care less about the Duma and the ministers.

I hate Rasputin.
