The Starless Sea is a book that feels like a love letter to readers. It is a tapestry of stories woven into the fabric of time and space that leads you on a journey like no other. This may be one of my new favorite books of all time. It is beautiful and poetic and chock full of metaphor. The Starless Sea asks you to be patient. It asks you to read each piece of endless stories to find their clues, their secrets, and their mysteries.
Zachary took me over heart and soul from the first start of this book and I found myself in love with him and his story so completely. I don't know how to describe my thoughts and feelings other than to say that reading this book was a beautiful experience. Zachary is a gem of a hero and the characters who come into this life are all so fascinating. I didn't know where the story was leading me but I couldn't help but to be enchanted by its strangeness and found that I didn't need to know the ending. Stories end so new ones can begin.
