This book was like putting together a puzzle. Slow at first, finding pieces and slowly putting things together. Until parts of the image come together and start making sense. And the closer you get to the end, the more of the picture you can see until you know exactly how it will end. But the end being so near is overwhelming. And when you're finished, and the final puzzle piece is in place... The image is so beautiful that it's difficult to comprehend.
This was my last read of 2021. And my favourite. This book had so many interesting and unique stories and characters and when those stories and characters started weaving together and becoming one story, it was so satisfying and beautiful. The writing is so amazingly beautiful.
The end of this book prepares you for the ending. I was crying for the last 40 pages of this, just because of the influx of emotion. The imagery in this book was STUNNING! Especially since my favourite animals are both bees and whales - bees and honey play a big role in this book and the Starless Sea is a place where I imagine the largest whales to swim and sing their stories.
