Then afterward, Dasha and the rest of Tatiana’s family dies and Tatiana is living with a family in Lazarevo. Like WTH? I was constantly waiting for this to end soon but it continues for a very long time. Also, Alexander continues to see Dasha and hook up with her while also confessing his love and feelings for Tatiana. I couldn’t digest the stupid love triangle that was going on in the book. There’s also Alexander’s creepy friend Dimitri who is interested in Tatiana. Tatiana being the wonderful sister that she is, makes Alexander promise to not break Dasha’s heart and so they hide their feelings for each other from everyone.

Alexander continues to see Dasha while having stolen moments with Tatiana. This follows a series of unnecessary drama. Then they find out that Alexander has actually been seeing Tatiana’s sister Dasha for a while. Tatiana and Alexander meet and its an instant connection. I haven’t read many books on World War 11 so I cannot really judge how well the war aspect of this book was done. We see Tatiana’s family struggle through the war. The first 400 or so pages of the book are actually quite okay. I just had to read it and see for myself. There are many positive reviews of this book on Goodreads that say it is an amazing love story.

I was so shocked because I hadn’t heard that this book had such a toxic relationship. She posted direct passages from the book. Since then, this book has remained unread on my shelf.Ī few weeks back, Whitney from WhittyNovels (A booktuber I love watching and highly admire) was reading this book and posting her thoughts as she was reading it. I was very surprised but happy to find a copy of this book in my local market a few months later. I was very intrigued because I really like Historical Fiction and this book sounded good. All I knew was that the book was set in Russia during World War 11 and that its a love story.

I discovered The Bronze Horseman on Booktube about 2 years back when it was very popular there. (Warning- Contains spoilers for the book)
