Well the introduction alone has got us at one star. I'm two states in, and it hasn't gotten much better. So far it feels like a high school paper. Not sure what I was expecting, but it's just quick rundowns of legends state by state. It doesn't spend more than a paragraph or so on each one. Some only get a sentence or two. It sounds just as much time trying to be snarky as it does talking about legends, and it doesn't do a very good job of that either. Will update with more stars if it earns them.
