What an utterly disappointing book. There was perhaps 40 pages of substance dealing with the Barbarians and the Russian mafia. The rest of the pages were filled with either Evan and Nick fighting or lusting after each other. A total waste of a good idea for a book. Run away from this turkey.

The book is hilarious. Especially if you were born in USSR. It was hysterical for me. Who might like the book: people who love soap operas? When two adult characters act so immature, absolutely out of logic and get physical out-of-blue. Here is an example: “How dare you to care about me?” Punch! I’m wondering how they can be accepted in civilized society? Their so-called conflicts are so outstretched. Maybe because they weren’t believable fo me, hot scenes were absolutely boring. I’m not reading for sex scenes, but everything was like that. The book although well written reminded me old bad Hollywood movies about Russia. There is no such thing like Soviet Jeep, it’s called UAZ. Second, if Russian mafia would want you to be dead, you will. There are up to hundred people on archaeological sites, but this one could slip. This one is my favourite: where the heck Sashenka Borsh name is coming from? It is so comic villain! Let me give you analogy: badass mayor Barbie Hamburger, or general Kitty Frenchfries, or assassin Mimi Pancakes. Why give her last name of the most famous Russian soup? First name is not right also. It’s a short name for Alexandra. Sashenka, which is more sugary syrupy than Sasha or Shura, could be used for kids. In law enforcement it is more likely the official name would be used, Alexandra. Sashenka Borsh gave me crazy amount of laugh especially paired with her description.
In addition again some scenes looked out-of-context, I’m still guessing why are they in the book. When characters had an argument about something it was extremely hard to understand what’s the reason. I reread dialogues, it didn’t help. Great examples of toxic masculinity though.
