Having read The Night Circus and now The Starless Sea, Erin Morgenstern's novels have a very similar feel to them, in that she excels above all else in telling stories with a very dreamlike quality to their narration. I liked this less than The Night Circus - the characters in the latter were a bit more compelling to me personally - but enjoyed this enough that I wish I hadn't read it while perpetually a little distracted on the beach this week, and intend to reread it later if I have the time.
