Publisher's summary

With the death of the fearsome Ögedei Khan, the Mongol invasion of the West has been brought to an abrupt halt. The defenders, a band of brave warrior monks known as the Shield-Brethren, limp homeward again across a frozen, bloodied wasteland. But where - and what - is "home" now that the threat of invasion no longer shapes their lives?

Thirteenth-century Europe has been saved from annihilation at the hands of the Mongols, to be sure, but new and terrible threats are at hand: political and religious turmoil threaten to turn the warriors' world upside down once more. Painted against a rich backdrop of medieval mysticism and Russian folklore, Katabasis weaves together the tales of victor and victim alike in a fearless exploration of what it means not just to survive, but to truly live again.

Mispronounced words and horrible accents

The director of the audio recording truly failed.

First, there was clearly no attempt to even try to get a Russian speaker to coach pronunciation. Even simple names are mangled, which ruins the audiobook for anyone familiar with Russian history or culture.

But the real crime is the attempt at bad Russian accents. The great Russian hero and saint, Alexander Nevsky, sounds like Anton Yelchin’s comical Chekhov from Star Trek. I can appreciate some humorous characterizations of characters who are written to sound funny - but Nevsky/Chekhov just put me over the edge.

This Review Needs a Title...

I could not get into book 1, DNF (did not finish), so book three, which was ordered at the same time also gets flushed. Note to self, don't order all the books in a series, if you don't know that you might enjoy it.
