I was always really annoyed that Elisaveta, as my favourite character, was only around for two (possibly three, I can't remember and can't be bothered to get up and look!) books |

And yes, the lady-in-waiting thing got me too! For someone so impatient and untidy! Although what would being a lady-in-waiting have involved? |

I do like seeing Elisaveta in later years. The transformation from discontented only child of royalty, to happy schoolgirl is nice, and then we see her as a an exile from her home, and as a mother determined to protect her children, and later as a widow, making a life for herself and her children. It's an interesting comparison between Elisaveta and Joey during the war. They both have to flee for their lives and suffer during their escape, but Elisaveta, the one raised as pampered royalty, is by far the stronger when things go wrong. |
