The audiobook is narrated by Andre Braugher, so already that's amazing. The story is interesting and novel – I haven't explore Eastern Europe in the 10th century much before. The author's note at the end provides interesting context. The story isn't my favorite in parts, but it's got sections I really enjoy. It's just tough with the amount of misogyny portrayed to enjoy certain aspects of the tale.
