Tsarina, Tsarina, why wouldn’t you let me love you? I wanted to love this book you guys. It’s imperial Russia at the time of the Russian Revolution. THERE ARE ROMANOVS (according to the blurb which is a complete LIE because there is only a physical Romanov presence in the first chapter). I can’t be the only one who looked at this book and thought
right?

Are you saying that because it's YA, it doesn't need to be good or accurate or make sense? YA is filled with great books. The standard in YA is really high. Meg wanted a great story with history, not "a history book" (by which I assume you mean non-fiction). Your tone is really insulting.
Edited to add: Actually, this IS a historical fiction novel.
It IS a historical fiction/fantasy. It's in a historical setting. The blurb plays down the fantasy elements present in the book and makes it sound like a historical about the Romanovs. Meg's allowed to be upset that she didn't get what she expected. Also, are you not aware that young adult fiction is an age classification? It has fantasy, sci-fi, historical, etc. just like adult fiction.

I am fully aware it is a YA fiction. It also happens to be historical YA fiction (gasp!) and I was hoping it would go in a different direction than it did. Please go troll somewhere else.
