The Bronze Horseman is the first book about Tatiana and Alexander. I haven't read Tatiana and Alexander so I am not sure if you will need to read The Bronze Horseman first or if you can read it as a stand alone. Maybe you should be tempted.

Sounds like I definitely need to acquire The Bronze Horseman, couldn't possibly live with myself if I read them in the wrong order 
That's another for the wishlist then!!! |
