A review by ishi_time
Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess' Stardust #1 by Neil Gaiman
5.0
I LOVED this book. I couldn't put it down and I read the whole thing in a day. This is the first Neil Gaiman book I've read, and now I'm looking forward to reading his other works.
This is obviously a fantasy story, but it's written in a way that makes me believe in everything I'm reading. It made me feel like if I travelled to the edge of the world, I really will find my way into a small town called Wall. Needless to say, the writing style is breathtaking and flawless.
In the beginning, I found the story to be completely plot-driven because it took me quite a while to familiarize myself with the characters. But, once I did get to know the characters, I found myself caring for them deeply.
One thing that I absolutely love about the characters was the fact that they felt natural and REAL. No character fell into any particular trope. They were all special in their own ways, but at the same time seemed to be perfectly ordinary.
This story was simply beautiful and whimsical and I highly recommend it.
