The way Erin Morgenstern wrote this book with so many intricacies and its own deeply interwoven mythology is violently genius. It took me a while to work through this one but those last two parts were worth the wait. I got chills all over my body when it all started to come together.
Morgenstern has a really creative way of telling stories. Her narrative style is so unlike anything else out there and so unique from book to book. It makes me excited for what’s next from her.
I loved the world-building in The Starless Sea. Everything is so descriptive down to the minutiae. It made me long to be at the Harbour with the cats and cozy reading rooms and the Kitchen providing endless snacks and coffee. I loved each and every character in this book. Morgenstern even builds sympathy for the villain through different characterisations.
I would recommend this book to absolutely everyone. It’s brilliant!
