Better than others of its type

I liked this book better than The Everything Lives of the Saints. The "Everything" series contained a lot of fabrication presented as fact.This book includes a lot of legend, that's true, but the acknowledges in the book that there's no real way to separate what is fact and what is fiction. Even though a lot is mired in legend of a millenia or more, I found this book very accessible and enjoyable to read.
