MAgnificent love story and historical novel - By: aveling13, 01 Dec 2008 
I picked up the Bronze Horseman on spec & once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. DIDn't reakise it wasn't the full story till I'd nearly finished it! I was frustrated at not knowing what happened next!!!
Alexander & Tatiana is a great conclusion & the recapping of the 1st book is cleverly done. Again - I didn't want to put it down.
Also called Tatiana and Alexander - By: S. Mumford, 30 Jan 2008 
This is indeed the sequel to the Bronze Horseman - the best book by far & why oh why has noone made the film of it yet? - & is writtenin similar style. I stuck with it as I loved the first one so much. It is worth the read if you like romance! Eleven Hours was unputdownable - readin three days - & completely different. No romance but 100% suspense instead - & not for the weak constitution!
Ahhh.... - By: Miss C, 30 Jan 2008 I ordered this sequel after reading the first chapter of The Bronze Horseman, so convinced was I that I would be desperate to read it straight after. And I wasn't wrong. I was so moved & sucked into Tatiana & Alexander's lives that I needed to know more (I ordered the 3rd book after a few chapters of T & A). Reading them back to back was quite full on & I now have a head full of one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read.
Not a 5 star like TBH as I found this book a little more violent & focused on fighting (when all I really wanted to know was 'what happens to Tatia & Shura'!?). Also, while I appreciate the flashing back to the past was important for setting the scene I did find it a little distracting at times.
Still, a beautifully written book that will be sure to satisfy Tatiana & Alexander fans. Ahh....
Truely excellent - By: M. Lugg, 29 May 2007 I recently read The Bronze Horseman & throughly enjoyed it (see previous review) & couldn't wait to delve into the sequel - Tatiana & Alexander to continue further with themin their quest to find each other again & I certainly wasn't disappointed!
As with the Bronze Horseman you are gripped from the very first pages & it is a compulsive page turner & set at a great pace. This book concentrates a little more on Alexander & his life prior to meeting Tatiana & adds to the understanding of them & their relationship.
I would recommend that The Bronze Horseman is read prior to this book although I am sure it would be very enjoyable on it's own, I think it would be a shame not to have the whole Tatiana & Alexander experience! Can't wait to the third & final bookin this series to come outin paperback at the begining of July!
To sum this book up EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.
Read it. - By: NL, 24 Jan 2007 "The Bronze Horseman" trilogy has - within an hour of starting the first book - become my favourite story (and I say story instead of stories, because they cannnot be separatedin my mind). And story is such a pale word to use to describe it.
Reading "Tatiana & Alexander" without having first read "The Bronze Horseman" will deprive you of fully knowing the characters & their history. While "Tatiana & Alexander" is considered the sequel to "The Bronze Horseman",in many ways it is the same story told from Alexander's point of view (where "The Bronze Horseman" was more so from Tatiana's). The repetition isin no way unnecessary or boring - it actually adds more depth & more emotion to characters that you could not imagine being more real.
"Tatiana & Alexander" overviews Alexander's childhood, his lifein the Soviet Union with his parents, with Tatiana, & after Tatiana. It it comprised of flashbacks to his past, flashbacks to emotionally powerful scenes with Tatiana, & also has chapters of Tatianain her new life.
Read it. It is powerful & heart-wrenching, & leaves you praying for characters that you want to see have the happily-ever-after that they so desperately fight for.
