The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

2.0

---

So, you have a story. Within the story. Within the story. Within the story. You have some people having no clue what are they doing or where are they going. Some have pink hair. Some have fake eyes. Some are gay. They die. But then they dont. There are books. A lot of them. The underground libraries. A hidden sea of honey. A lot of bees. Keys. Painted doors. Some owls. And cats. Plenty of cats. I dont know what cats are for. Maybe the author is a cat lover. ⠀
⠀
At moments you feel you're starting to connect the dots and the story is getting clearer. But then you see you're not. People get lost. People get found. They travel through time. At around half of it you start feeling delusional. You have no idea what the hell youre reading, but you kinda dont want to stop. Maybe it all is meant to become a big beehive that will make your mind feel like a mush. ⠀
⠀
I dont know what I've read. I cannot even comprehend. The writing is beautiful, that I can tell. Maybe the point is we all have stories and paths of our own. Maybe there is no point. Maybe we all should like bees. I dont know. ⠀
⠀
Do you like cats or bees? Maybe even owls? If thats the case, this is a book for you. If youre a fan of mice, skip it. They dont end very well in this one.
