Entertaining, lighthearted. But if I had not seen the movie I would have been confused often. One of the few times that the movie was better.

I might have a permanent Gaiman bias now, but I loved Stardust. I loved the complex emotions and relationships wrapped in a simple questing plot. I loved the quirky side characters and the beautiful settings and the cloud ships catching their lightning. I loved the happy ending. A wonderful, sparkling little book.

An artfully crafted modern fable, with a very classical story arch. It could go into more depth at times, as some parts are a bit rushed and the ending feels -even for a fairytale- quite on the nose. Nonetheless a nice and smooth read for a cozy afternoon or two.
Before now I had only seen the movie but after listening to the book I honestly enjoyed the book more.
