The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

3.0

This book was no plot, just pure vibes. It felt like a lucid dream. I enjoyed reading it only cause of the writing. The writing was absolutely phenomenal; all these stories were woven together so skilfully, the magical and whimsical storytelling approach, the minute details & key feature and the entire plot was undeniably interesting but it lacked depth. I couldn’t understand the characters well enough (there was just so much going on in the background that the main characters take a backseat till almost the end of the book). While the story was slowly building up towards this mysterious occurrences; it was finally gaining some momentum but all it led to was a damn wall!! I was expecting some plausible explanations but I’m honestly even more confused now. Such a letdown.
