I loved this book until the very end.
It was disappointed how a book about stories, that so intricately intertwines so many different stories, leaves you hanging with an unfinished story. Other than that I absolutely loved it

So i don’t usually leave reviews for books but this was brilliant. I was confused in such a imaging way and everything tied together. The way it’s written is beautiful. I loved all the little stories. 5/5

If you loved Night Circus, I’d imagine you’ll love this. ‘Not all stories speak to all listeners, but all listeners can find a story that does, somewhere, sometime. In one form or another.’ I’ve read books about how amazing BOOKS are before, but this was distinctly different. It’s not about books- it’s about STORIES. At first, I wouldn’t have thought there was a difference. I would have said ‘books’ and ‘stories’ are interchangeable. But they’re NOT!! This was confusing and gorgeous. She can WRITE. Normally, run on sentences and attributing personality to the WIND would make me grind my teeth and roll my eyes respectively, but Morgenstern can pull it off. She’s so good she makes me want to sob. I don’t even know what to say. Four stars bc there was something I can’t put my finger on, but this was amazing. AMAZING. I never re-read but I can guarantee that I will re-read this, and probably more than once or twice. #engelbrechtreads2019 #engelbrechtreads

This was the most convoluted mess of a book I have ever suffered through, and a bitter disappoint from author Erin Morgenstern, whose first novel, The Night Circus, is still one of my favorites. I can still feel and enjoy the aesthetic of that book, remember the connection and joy I felt to the central characters, almost smelling and tasting the world she created. Truly, I came away from The Starless Sea still having no idea what happened, no connection to the characters because I spent the entire reading experience too disoriented to be able to care. I almost DNF'd about one third of the way in, and then again halfway through. But I remembered a few points of confusion toward the beginning of The Night Circus and thought surely, Morgenstern would pull this all together in a beautiful tapestry of story and magical aesthetic. NOPE. I powered through the last half and breathed such a sigh of relief when it was finally over. It felt like wandering through multiple first drafts of several half-baked narratives, with no framework solid enough to even entertain the ideas she might have wanted to propose. I was so excited to read this, and what a miserable crash it turned out to be.
esse livro é agora o meu livro favorito da vida. com certeza vou reler logo.
eu nao consigo explicar em palavras o que eu senti nessa leitura, mas fica aqui a minha indicação.
erin morgenstern obrigada por ter nascido e escrito esse livro antes de eu morrer, nao sei como seria minha vida sem ele.
