amybran3 's review for:
The Map of Salt and Stars
by Zeyn Joukhadar
3.5
I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, it was interesting to read and I feel like it portrayed the journey of a refugee very accurately and gave a lot of insight into the refugee situation in Syria. But there were so many excessive metaphors that bothered me throughout. Also how is every single person in this story so well spoken and philosophical? It didn’t feel realistic. I also didn’t really love the second timeline as much as I wanted to. Overall a good read.
