Normally I start my reviews with a recap of the book. The best way I can describe it is “the story that never got off the ground”. This book follows two separate characters. One is Bird Girl and the other is the Man who followed the sun. Their stories don't really intersect.

While the legend itself was interesting, the real drawback was the execution. It suffered from too much explanation. Most of the time I thought “get on with it...”. From a historian perspective, it was filled with a rich amount of information. From a casual reader's perspective, it was boring
