I found myself quickly drawn into this fictional history book. I enjoyed the different voices that chronicled the history, and the commentary by the two long-lived rulers.

I get what Vodolazkin was going for in this story and on the whole he succeeds. The early parts of the book are the better portion of the “chronicle” and at times the narrative feels a bit uneven.

I think, unfortunately, Vodolazkin is going to be judged by his masterpiece, Laurus.
