3.0
I really wanted to like this book, as it deals with fascinating tales from a non-western culture. However, I found the Amira's steam of consciousness incredibly annoying. The author also threw in random things about how horrible humans are for polluting the oceans and space. She's not wrong, but it came off poorly . The book had nothing to do with that, and if she felt so strongly about it, she should have incorporated it more than having a mythical creature complain about it.
