The House of Sorrowing Stars by Beth Cartwright

5.0

wow. I just completed a brilliant atmospheric book. The dread I felt when I realised how few pages were left until the end. The fantastic world-building. How easy it was to get lost in it. AND THE GARDEN. THE GARDEN. AND THE LIBRARY and the TEA. This book is beautiful, haunting, fanciful, and sorrowful and tells a hopeful story with an ethereal setting and exquisite description of detail. The pages are filled with beautiful writing and characters that match the emotion the story told. Fitting book for the current weather. A cosy, beautiful book. Snug, wrapped in a woolly scarf, a heater on, and a cat sleeping beside me. Folklore and evermore (once again) made an appearance in the background. I freaking love this book.
This story has convinced me to try Marchpane. Love, love, love it.

4.5/5
