Really a 3.5/5 stars 
 I enjoyed Tatiana's POVS a lot more than Alexander's. Alexander's parts were often hard to follow or were boring, despite their action. 
 I enjoyed reading about Tatiana's new life in the US with her son and job and friends. A part of me wishes that she had been able to fully adapt to this life without Alexander. 
 Overall, this book was a satisfying sequel to The Bronze Horseman. 
 ( I'm feeling a bit lazy right now, so maybe I'll have a better review later??) 
 Update: I was reading through the reviews for the 3rd book in this trilogy and it sounds awful, will definitely not be picking it up. I understand romance is heavily focused in this series, but in the first two books (especially the 1st one) and now apparently in the third one, there are so many sex scenes, not to mention scenes with Alexander being a complete jerk. I get the times were different back then and Alexander has had a very traumatized life , but that's no excuse to abuse your wife!! I hate how Tatiana just gives into him so easily.
