The Starless Sea A Novel

The love of stories

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Some stories are written just for you. They suck you in, wrap themselves around you and your mind. Thats what this novel did to me. It sticks to me like honey, and I feel like a bee, needing more and more of it. This book followed me into my dreams and stayed present in my head at all times. I wanted to devour it and at the same time I never wanted to finish it, so I could stay within the story forever. “No story ever truly ends as long it is told.” And this one is going to live forever on in my head.

“We are all stardust and stories.” - Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

This book took me on a journey - a beautiful, heartfelt, puzzling journey, and I don’t think I'll be forgetting any of the characters anytime soon. The Starless Sea has such a stunning, unbelievably genius and kind of messy world building, that I still cannot comprehend the thought behind it all. This book takes you away from all the usual and leaves you dreaming of a world beneath the surface of the earth. It makes you wonder about bees, keys and swords, and will make you escape reality for a little while. Reading this book feels like a puzzle that you’re piecing together with every page you turn. The atmosphere is magical and strange with a touch of dark academia vibes, which I really enjoyed. The mood of this book was beautiful to dive into! I can only recommend this one for lovers of fantasy and the strange.
