I’ve read lots of books that I’ve really liked, or enjoyed, or had fun with, but this is the first book in a long time that I’ve fallen in love with. The Starless Sea feels like a love letter in so many ways. To stories and writers and artists and dreamers and kids who wanted life to be just like a fairy tale. Reading this book felt healing in a way, and I can’t wait to pick it up and read it again.
