The Starless Sea
by Erin Morgenstern
This book took me for a ride. I wanted to like it SO MUCH. I’m sure some people would love this book, however I was not one of them. I had seen so many great things about this book that I caved and went and bought it too.
Starting The Starless Sea was intriguing and so well described I was quickly interested, however 200 pages in I was still like ???????? I didn’t know what was going on half the time and by the time the story came full circle, I was annoyed at having to force myself to read so far through the book to get to the point. I was still forcing myself by the last 10 pages which has NEVER happened. I wish I just DNF this read. Honestly the 2 stars are for Erin’s amazing way of depicting and describing things and maybe a little at the brilliance of the story that is also way too complicated for the sake of being complicated. UGH.
