I'm at a loss for words. Morgenstern has created such a beautiful, intricate world of stories that weave together in ways I didn't even imagine they could. I relate so deeply with Zachary and following his story, and the stories that surround me has been a joy.
The only reason I gave this 4,5 rather than 5 stars is because I, for the first 3rd of the book struggled with the alternating narrative, going between Zachary's narrarive and the stories in the books. I found it frustrating for a while (not because I didn't love the stories, but because I felt my flow was interrupted), but eventually it stoppes being frustrating and started being just as enjoyable as the rest.
I know I will love this even more upon rereading, and I hope there is an audiobook available. I feel like this book would be perfect for that format.

Morgenstern's writing style really just feels like home. I read somewhere she writes things to be impossible to put on screen and that decision elevates all her choices. Her environmental description are pristine and just wraps me up into the story. (I also think she would throw the most kickass parties.) The story and the message and the interweaving of it all is so masterful, this story will never really end. It will always be constantly running in my mind.
