Narrative In Favor Of Books Dreaming Anastasia (Dreaming Anastasia #1)

What really happened to Anastasia Romanov?

Anastasia Romanov thought she would never feel more alone than when the gunfire started and her family began to fall around her. Surely the bullets would come for her next. But they didn't. Instead, two gnarled old hands reached for her. When she wakes up she discovers that she is in the ancient hut of the witch Baba Yaga, and that some things are worse than being dead.

In modern-day Chicago, Anne doesn't know much about Russian history. She is more concerned about getting into a good college�until the dreams start. She is somewhere else. She is someone else. And she is sharing a small room with a very old woman. The vivid dreams startle her, but not until a handsome stranger offers to explain them does she realize her life is going to change forever. She is the only one who can save Anastasia. But, Anastasia is having her own dreams…

Judge Containing Books Dreaming Anastasia (Dreaming Anastasia #1)

Boring, boring, boring...and the faux-teenager voice made me want to vomit. A close friend of mine recently tried to read this book. She failed to reach page 100. At first I thought her pain-filled text messages were slightly exaggerated for the sake of comedy, since that's the kind of twisted symbiotic humor we enjoy feeding one another. But no. There was no exaggeration. Dreaming Anastasia was just that bad. I couldn't have cared less about Anne & her flatline Mary Sue crapola. The only

Sadly, I had high expectations for Dreaming Anastasia by Joy Preble. I say sadly because had my expectations been twice as high, Ms. Preble would have exceeded them easily.This was my first time reading a YA novel. I picked it up because the premise of the book sounded intriguing. The blurb alone gave a clue to the treatment of the subject and on that basis I launched into it.I didnt expect much from the genre especially the genre handled by a début novelist. With luck, I figured there might be

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this book, as I hadn't read many reviews of it, and I wasn't sure what the plot was about (other than the Romanov family, which is something that will catch my attention every time).The story gets going quickly, so I thought I was in for an interesting read. Unfortunately, the momentum fizzled and died. I think that may have been because, ultimately, the plot was a little thin. The basic premise is that Anastasia Romanov didn't die back in 1918; she was

I borrowed this book from the library after reading the blurb. I thought this book would be interesting just by reading the blurb, but i guess not. The blurb was the most interesting thing of this book. The story line was the only thing that kept me from throwing this book on the floor during advisory. I liked this story, but the writing was not the best thing I have ever read. First of all, the entire story kept on switching characters and their perspective. I mean I have read books like this

I accepted a review copy of Haunted which is the sequel to Anastasia Dreaming. As I don't read books out of order I quickly read this one so I can start Haunted. Dreaming Anastasia is a book that is right up my alley... magic, fantasy, historical fiction, mystery, adventure, fairy tale with a little romance mixed in. The legend of Anastasia Romanov mixed with the Russian folktale character Baga Yaga meets modern day Anne Michaelson for a unique story that I enjoyed.Without reading the epilogue



So like I said in my bio, I am a huge historical fiction buff. I don't know if you could consider this a historical fiction, but I thought this channeled some historical background. Personally, I always believed that Anastasia was alive. Though not in the way that Joy Preble describes. This is a very creative piece of work. I think the characters were thought out as well as the plot. I really got into the story and was saddened towards the end. You truly realize all the pain and suffering the
