Great book, great short-storytelling: the worldbuilding didn't need to be extensive and the characters were well-developed in spite of their short descriptions. The chapters were a bit too long in places, but other than that it was a really nice light read albeit dark at times. Would highly recommend.

I also listened to the audiobook narrated by the author as a companion to reading it physically and Neil Gaiman is such a talented reader. He truly brings the story to life by giving it another layer of depth.
I can't wait to watch the movie after this, and then maybe after that the illustrated story.

Stardust is a lighthearted fantasy with good wit, humour and a satisfying ending.
Although the language is old and not particularly politically correct, you can understand that Gaiman was not writing in a malicious offensive manner.
I may just have to watch the movie and see how it compares!
