I compare it to when watching a movie where one expects more action to happen. Sometimes the slow pace is not for everyone. But I encourage …

I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon is a historical fiction novel centered on the mystery of Anastasia Romanov. So I’ve been highly interested in the Anastasia story for quite some time thanks to an unlikely source: the 1997 musical cartoon.
