Romanov is a YA magical retelling.

My Goodreads review can be found here.

My Amazon review can be found here..

Note: I originally got this as an e-ARC from Netgalley. However, I later bought this book as a hardback so that is why my Goodreads review has the Netgalley requirement but this does not.

As per usual, anything that does not directly relate to the topic at hand will be written in this color.

So I originally had not planned on reading this book for quite some time. I had a lot of Goodreads friends who knew of Nadine Brandes and had enjoyed her books, so Romanov was on my radar; since I added other books of hers on my TBR, I thought I should read those first.

However, I was looking through NetGalley and saw that it was available. Since I had never used NetGalley before, I thought I would put my name in just to see how NetGalley works. I honestly thought I wouldn't get it because it was my first time. Four hours later, I got an email stating that I had been approved for e-ARC.

This ended up being one of my favorite reads of 2019.

I don't have an Amazon review because Amazon is starting to get finicky about having reviews from ARCs.

Because I reviewed Crimson Ash and Her Crown of Fire, my name was on the list of reviewers for WritePlan Publishing and I was able to get an e-ARC for this. I'm really glad that I was able to read it.

I read Haley Sulich’s book, Crimson Ash, last year; because of this, Ms. Sulich reached out to me to review the first two books published by her publishing/editing company WritePlan. Her Crown of Fire is the first book I’ll be reviewing and then next month I'll be reviewing the second one.

HCoF is interesting in that its strengths can also be its weakness. But first, let’s talk about what I liked.
