Apologies to all those who are big fans of this, but I found myself quite disappointed. Perhaps had I read the book before the movie I would've enjoyed it more, but the movie Stardust is my top chart, first place, all time favourite movie, and that is the story I fell in love with, the characters I fell in love with, those I laughed with and those I didn't like so much. I fell in love with with the progression of the love between Tristan and Yvaine, and to find that in the book is barely mentioned until they kiss... Or that the evil witch is too old and gives up, and that Yvaine kissed her goodbye... Or that Tristan dies and Yvaine is left to rule... Instead of them spending their eternity as stars, together forever. The last chapter felt rushed and emotionless.
