Actual rating 3.5
If this were any other story I would have hated it. There is no way that the shallow characters, verbose prose and immense amount of exposition would have lived up to my high standards. But for what it is, it is incredibly good. Even today the tales are realistic and relatable with a fantastic air of intrigue and magic. There is a reason the Arabian Nights/1001 Nights has survived the test of time, and I intend to read the rest of it!
