The story drags, the characters are one dimensional, and it felt like the author was trying to tell about 8 different stories. I will give them kudos for the world building but it couldn't save the book for me.
I cannot believe there are still 2 more books in this series, I will not be reading them.

Kathleen Gati does a beautiful job as narrator, capturing the characters, the dialects, the world of medieval Rus.
